Toyota 86...

I never get tired of anything Toyota 86... So here's another blog post on this great car!
Of course it's EVERYWHERE in the media, but it's always nice to enjoy personally...

These shots were taken at the Ikebukuro Toyota Gallery in Tokyo...

I often come here to relax and take a seat while studying the beautiful lines of this car!

I'm ALWAYS finding a new angle/part, just look at that flow in the rear quarter to spoiler...

Also check out the huge array of Parts available already in the background, and Engine below...

They always make a great display, including this detailed sign about Toyota 86 TOUGE series...

Itasha...86 痛車 ハチロク

Itasha(痛車) is a huge otaku sub-culture in the Japan car scene, translating to 'Pain-mobile'.
  Although popular in Japan, it's not so common in the U.S, and almost unheard of in Europe!
It is surprising that it's never became popular abroad, but maybe it will take some time...

After a recent trip to Toyota, I thought I'd share some Itasha 86 photos...

Love it or hate it, it's certainly eye-catching and VERY unique...many won't understand it!

Based on 'Otaku' characters from popular Japanese Anime/Manga, it attracts many people!

Personally, I like it, though I don't think Europe is ready for it just yet, but who knows!

On the Chase...

Chasing Chasers, at Tsukuba! Spotted these two stunning JZX100's in the Car Park!

The first one was slammed, and looks to have a hard life as a full on street drifter...

The second was just PERFECT in every way. If I ever buy a Chaser, it will be like this...

STUNNING road presence and performance. I'll post more 'Car Park' photos soon...

Lexus ISF...Race Car

Everytime I'm in the Odaiba area, I make a point of stopping by Toyota for a coffee to relax..

It's also fun to see what new cars or displays they have each time! Lexus ISF...Race Car!

The attention to detail and quality of the Interior / Roll cage Fabrication was just Perfection!

Carbon Fibre, Titanium, and Full Race Chassis made me spend most of my time here..

Toys...Not Your Usual...

I've also been Collecting 'Toy' Cars for many years now, and have been adding more recently!

I have a HUGE 'Wanted' List, but I'll just keep picking them up as I go along...


More recently it's been 'Toy' related compared to Discasts, but Not Your Usual...
