Lowriders at Shibuya // Japan
Read more: Lowriders at Shibuya // JapanI was lucky with my stay in Japan, few unplanned events happened during the time I was there. One of them was the Tokyo Comic Con, a story for some different kind of blog perhaps, but there was another one – more appropriate one: lowrider cruise at Shibuya. I didn’t know exactly where they gather, didn’t know how big it is, didn’t know the time either – just knew that it’s every first Saturday of a month. I’ve rested at a cozy capsule hotel and around 10PM went to Shibuya crossing, one of the most familiar places in Tokyo, certainly…

Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2017 // Gracious Pickups
Read more: Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show 2017 // Gracious PickupsChevrolet stopped producing El Camino the year I was born.

It was another spotlight of the show, next to the “Taste of Deuce”. There’s great hype for these vehicles and Japanese love them. Personally I’m quite sure that Chevy will resurrect the name sooner than later.

Close-up // Z33 Nismo Super GT // 2005
Read more: Close-up // Z33 Nismo Super GT // 2005I walked pass the Rudskogen pits during Gatebil and spotted that Paddy from Speedhunters was shooting this crisp 350Z. I offered him company and took a few snaps. Usually after a season or two of World class racing, in this case, Super GT, cars become out of date and are taken apart or stored in a garage. If you’re lucky, you can by them off and give them a second chance. Oskar Sandberg’s 350Z has 315hp 3.6L V6.
