He recently acquired a pretty massive collection of cameras which included some really old camcorders as well. Some were basically brand new old stock that were never used. For this year’s Japanese Classic […]

Japanese Classic Car Show 2018 Coverage… Part 2…

There was a good amount of Honda coverage in Part 1 of the 2018 Japanese Classic Car Show coverage, which is always weird to consider so many of those Hondas and Acuras classic cars now, but today, in Part 2, there are absolutely zero Hondas present. Not even in the […]

Japanese Classic Car Show 2014 Coverage…Part 2 of 2…

I guess you can say that this post is appropriate for “Throwback Thursday” as many of the classics you see today are in fact, a throwback to the earlier days of the import automotive community. Hell, the whole show is a trip back in time. Sometimes I wonder what things […]

Japanese Classic Car Show 2014 Coverage…Part 1…

The Japanese Classic Car Show is an event that is always high on my list of shows to attend. It doesn’t change that much from year to year but when it comes to classic cars, there doesn’t really need to be change. Honestly, about 75% of the cars that you […]
