Is your mate Tomonori's frined in D1, Yoshioka Toshiki?

YES!!! Tomonori's friend has been driving in D1 for 2 years now I think. in a hachi roku too, with his team (Cool D) stickers on

way to go tosh with the obscure D1 knowledge! most people unless I say taniguchi, or nomuken etc have NFI what I'm on about. Tomonori is also very talented. but I think not dedicated enough to be a D1 prospect, but he does have sponsorship already

Watching all those Option DVD's pays off

Yoshioka is a FREAKING good driver!!! He won the 2005 Round 4 in Autopolis which is a MEAN feat considering how fast Autopolis is and how much it suits the high horsepowered cars.

In that round he beat Nomuken (530ps BLITZ R34) then Kumakubo (550ps Team Orange/JUN WRX & 2006 Champion) then Suenaga (460ps RE Amemiya FD3S RX7 & 2005 Runner Up) and finally Hibino (Sunrise/Mercury AE86)

cool! yeah, tomonori was very proud that a member of his team is in D1. Actually their cars are quite similar if anything Tomo's car is a bit lighter (less safety gear I guess), but a bit less power too (maybe 230ps).

I love the old option vids too. My friend gave me a 2004 option dvd as a present while I was there. It features Tsukuba Super Lap back when the HKS and Cyber EVOs first ran 55s... awesome vid.

[Tosh]

ahhh yeah...

I've got DVD's from the very first official D1 year (2002) when Imamura was still in an AE86 and Taniguchi was king

[Beer Baron]

sugoi desu ne!

the old option vids rock.

[lingeringsoul]

Imamura was in an AE86????? man I missed out alot ....I onlt got into this Japanese D1 thing last year

[Tosh]

yep

Imamura was in a brown AE86

Taniguchi was driving his own personal S15 which started out Yellow then got resprayed Red

Nomuken, Kumakubo and Tanaka weren't competing

Ueno in the Vertex Soarer was dominant

Tezuka drove a Chaser and not the Bee R Skyline

Miki was in a blue S14

photo shop? webspace? me not understand. or I as often find my self saying: sumimasen, wakarimasen.

you should be proud that I know how to upload to image shack and then link the hosted pics to display here! I can be a bit noob at times. I dont have a working copy of photoshop (i'd love one though if someone is obliging!) and I do have 50mb webspace with my isp but never used it and have NFI how... so i'll just battle on with image shack. with a fast connection it's not so bad anyway.

loving this thread richard!

i like the random shots... and you have a great skill of being able to remember stuff. Like the name of streets and that it was facing east and what area is around it etc.. I would be like "umm this is a nice street. in the city somewhere" lol

what were all those girls dressed up like that for? please explain lol. I've seen it before but why do they do it, and why are they all hanging around there together?

most importantly: did I get any more pressies this time?

[T04GTR]

i am going to make those gararge saruse catchcans they look cool.

[T04GTR]

does garage sarus have a website? that isnt porches lol

[Sinful]

all i can say is OH MY GOD I love the pics

I love the Purple GTR ,, Have you got any other shots of the area you live in as it is good to see what you wont see on tv and adds etc

(((ANDREW )))

[Beer Baron]

Hi Shell, glad you like the pics. well as for why people get into the cos play I really dont know. I think it's a way to get attention. Makes them feel good I guess so why not? It's certainly out there! with the hanging out at harajuku well it's just a popular place to meet for the cos-play-zoku I dont know how it started though it is a very trendy area in tokyo and bit like darlinghurst or acutally more like newtown here. so it's a natural kind of place for people on the fringe to hang out.

dave, I dont know the saurus site, but I'll ask my friend for you. he knows hayashi-san quite well.

andrew, I'll try and get a chance to do some more pics. glad you like 'em I do still have lots.

[Beer Baron]

oh, and shell, yes I do have a pressie for you actually.
