Off Topic: Car Toys

Photobucket

Okay, I’ll admit it. I still collect car toys. I briefly wanted to touch on some gifts and toys we recently picked up in Japan. If you’re a toy car collector, there is a store in tokyo called “Mr. Craft” that you might like. As my good friend Antonio says, ” Chris, your head will explode when you walk in there”. To put it mildly, yes my head exploded as soon as I walked in. Continue reading ‘Off Topic: Car Toys’

Dinan M3 To Have 638HP V10?

modified L & e m3

That sounds pretty extreme right? We’ll let Modified L&E tell you themselves:

While other tuners (such as Hartge, Hamann and AC Schnitzer) have dropped the BMW V-10 engine into either the M3 or 335, this stroked engine will make the Dinan M3 the most powerful to date. “We also plan on lightening up the front end so it handles properly,” says Dinan.

Random Shot Toyota Cresta

This photo was taken at Ebisu Circuit Touge Course. I recently spent some time in Japan for my honeymoon so I spent some time hanging with friends at Ebisu Circuit. More short posts to follow on Japanese lifestyle and culture.

I was walking around through the courses when this car pulled up. Struggling to reach my camera in time luckily the driver stopped and let me take some photos of his car before he went on track.
