Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2017: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet-///Midnight Special

Figuring that since this blog was first created to chronicle my misadventures pertaining to BMW E36 ownership, i thought it would be fair to give this E36 M3 i spotted at the meet its very own post. Wearing a full fat Sarto Racing/Rocket Bunny kit finished in Laguna Seca blue, what i initially thought was an […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2017: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet-Part 5, Nostalgic Japan.

Happening all around the World, there is one automotive sub-culture that has continually grown in popularity year after year after year with no let up in sight. I’m of course referring to the love of all things old school. The allure of days gone by, of a time when cars had their own distinct characters, […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2017: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet-Part 4, Big muscle.

Car culture is a wonderful but strange thing isnt’ it? On one side, you have a whole battalion of personnel who flew over to Japan and in the process, acquired the JDM ride of their dreams. On the other side, you have another bunch of people who have totally fallen in love with the cars from […]

I just had to give them their own post. With the R32s […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet in Odaiba-Part 2

Many people have asked me during my travels to Japan if i’ve ever visited Daikoku and although i’d love to one day have a go, without renting a car or having a local bring you around, it’s pretty much impossible for most overseas visitors to make trip. Sure i could have taken a taxi cab […]

Tokyo Auto-Otaku 2015: Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet in Odaiba-Part 1

Odaiba Decks, my last stop for the cold cold night before the start of the Tokyo Auto Salon. This is real Tokyo street car culture, this is the Hardcore Tokyo Fresh Meet. Organised by Super Street magazine, Hardcore Tokyo and All That Low Japan. I have decided to split up this event’s writeup into two […]
