    I see from chatter on another forum a special motor vehicle may make an appearance at the October c&c. :)

    Had to come on here to see if it was spotted, and of course, it was! :D
    Saw it in the petrol station at the red cow roundabout the other week. Tiny

    I presume that 250 gto would be in the millions, surprised there was not an army of minders around it

    Estimated value of $1.2 - 1.6 million.

    There were no minders or anything. It, along with loads of other cars were being loading on to an 18-wheeler truck for transport. I could walk up as close as I wanted. It was class :)

    I hope you don't mind me posting some holiday photos in here. I have quite a number of photos (I was there for a month) so I'll upload them in small batches every so often. I've also sized them down a bit. I also have lots of photos from the Mooneyes show we went to as well as Ebisu, but they are the last of the photos. I took all of these whilst just wondering around the streets. As these were street shots, a lot of them are either a) badly taken or b) done on a phone or c) both. There is no real order here either! It is amazing what you find just pottering down backstreets and whatnot...

    Alpina E24, just on a normal driveway. In Tokyo on the way to the Skytree.
    14816053058_808db27bbb_c.jpg

    I do recall this being driven by an old giffer.
    14815958769_43c7187ef7_c.jpg

    Returning to our Hostel in Hiroshima to discover an AE86 in the carpark.... dark + cameraphone = blurrrrrrrrrrrrr
    14816143127_b7e8bcb605_c.jpg

    Also Hiroshima, which seemed to have a decent population of VIP-esque motors cruising the streets of a night time.
    15002295442_f952cf2f89_c.jpg

    This thing just oozed win.
    14815962779_fde55eceb4_c.jpg

    No, I don't know either....made me chuckle though!
    14979677936_bbf03c00cb_c.jpg

    Again, just randomly parked on a street. Wind deflector and roof rack looked cool.
    14816061248_060a24dbaa_c.jpg
    14999583571_0c0a0be766_c.jpg

    Poor old Datsun rotting away in a garage in Tokyo.
    14816063588_f0d1aaeed5_c.jpg

    Actual "underground" parking in an apartment block in Tokyo.
    14979683566_ef7cf67733_c.jpg

    And finally, a little yard behind an Up! garage that the owner let us have a gander around.
    15002306392_a83597b863_c.jpg
    14999589861_066709304e_c.jpg
    15002309142_e0693f8762_c.jpg
    14979690176_8c1334f92c_c.jpg
    15002312542_2df77817a1_c.jpg

    Thats all I can fit in this post. If people are okay with it I have loads more I could upload. Japan really is such a fascinating place and any car enthusiast would be like a kid in a toy shop, because there is literally "something for everyone" -

    I saw it on the Coast Road not long ago. Very nicely done, and it looks in great nick.

    Just saw this in cork


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    I seen an F430 floating around Dundrum in Dublin there twice last week. Seemed like a young enough guy in it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Blue BMW i8 on M50 heading south. Irish reg. Probably same one seen near Houston Station. No photos unfortunately because I was heading opposite direction.

    On the way back from Hiroshima to Kyoto in a sleepy little town was this tidy mini. Like I said, the diversity is amazing, there really is "something for everyone".

    _MG_9716_zpsddd40ab5.jpg
    Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the worlds least practical crew cab pickup truck. The mind boggles with this one.

    _MG_9866_zps1898352d.jpg
    Hold on I'm trying to take a picture! The guy actually stopped so we could.

    _MG_9874_zps5cb89fb6.jpg
    Another backstreet Mini.

    _MG_9970_zps51437f0e.jpg
    Mildly tweaked MPVs were pretty much everywhere outside Tokyo. This was in Nara.

    _MG_0202_zps48100646.jpg
    _MG_0206_zps2e10d2b6.jpg
    Another car park spot..... don't mess with this little pickup....looks like it gets used hard.

    _MG_0371_zps7047f8d2.jpg
    Lots of cool bikes dotted around the place too.
