Went JapFest at Santa Pod last weekend. Now i have to admit it was rammed full of Chavs and fibreglass covered tat. But, i amongst the neons and blow of valves there was a few gems Drifting Corolla's    Only Yank i saw  Cossie engined estate put down some stunning times and sounded perfect  Tidy AW11 - hairdreser edition unfortunatly  Cappucino's, i love these, everyone thinks i must like boys? i don't care!  260z'zzzzzzzzzz    When Barry met 260  Original Rex   This passed me and i managed to get some shots   Not a clue what it was, but the power of digital zoom informs me its a Datsun Violet???  Star of the show for me (actually won an award) was this Early Prelude - Stunning!   So there ya go, sometimes its worth cocking your NY cap to one side, wearing your slacks around your ass and blending in, you might see something worthwhile |

The Viole(n)t owner needs to be beaten to within an inch of his life for those alloys - spoil a great looking car IMHO.
The Prelude is a pearler...... really like that. Only ever seen terminally rusty ones sputtering around.
Looks like a great day out - no Boso or VIP wannabe's around then?

Yeah i like the Prelude too! Numberplates look a bit RONG like.
These cars have a great radio in em, its like a whirly knob on the side of the instrument binnacle with a rotating drum thing to show you what frequency you're on (Whats the frequency Kenneth?)
I also think that the Datsun Violet looks OK on those wheels, bit of an Aussie look innit? Strewth! Doesnt it belong to Datsfun?
