Newest Auto Fad: The Nintendo Wii-mote?
America’s JDM Goodness
Blue Flame is an importer of Ford cars into Japan. Now available, only in Japan, are their Bullitt and BOSS packages for their Mustangs. They have their cosmetic differences and come either stock or you can upgrade with parts from the Saleen and Ford Racing catalogs. Nice. Things always look greener on the other side of the world, even our own cars. LOL. [Source: Autoblog]
Heading Home to Honda
This is a rare treat indeed! For all you S2K owners out there, including me, you might want to check out this little event to occur at Honda Headquarters in Torrance, CA. To gain entrance into the hallowed grounds of Honda all you need is an S2K to get in. That's right, no S2K, no entrance for you...unless you happen to be a passenger. Inside the forbidden city you will find the new 2008 Honda S2000 CR. Yup, the big snow plow nose of a car will be there for viewing. The free event will be on September 8th and will also be part BBQ/meet with giveaways! Hundreds of owners have already committed to go so make sure to register online at Honda! [Honda Homecoming!]
See You at the Track…
Only in Japan
From the video gaming side of the internet I came across this:
That's right. The Initial D arcade game setup with the shells of real cars in front of a 90in widescreen. This arcade game can be found in a Joypolis in Odaiba, Japan. Last time I was in Japan I got my ass handed to me playing some racing game, I'm guessing Wangan Maximum Tune. Anyhow, I wouldn't mind plopping down the yen to play this puppy and get my ass handed to me again. [From: Q-Taro]
A New Beginning
As you can see the site has undergone a pretty drastic change and heading in a whole new direction. What to expect? More of what was here before, but better. This site started out as an online import shop, but somehow evolved into what we have today: news bits and things of interest that appeal to the import enthusiast in me. It's not just so much about cars but the other things that surround it. Be it the models, the video games, the anime, the music, etc. All the culture wound up in my little space on the internet. Anyhow, suffice it to say this is like the 5th update to the site and again everything from the previous site was lost. Yes, I have shed a tear for the Skyline that had graced the top of the page for severeal years now, but it's time for a clean slate of sorts. Out with the old, and in with the now! So with that, I'd just like to say thanks for stopping by and try to make it a habit!
