Sydney's All Japan Day 2011 and Mopar Rumble 2011 shows.

[Prophecy]

Hey guys, I went to 2 car shows last weekend, got the photos developed today, thought i'd share some with you.

 

Day 1- Mopar Rumble.

 

A bit meh really, not a big turnout. Mostly Australian Mopar's, but there was the beautiful purple Coronet (right?), the few Challengers, the beautiful Aussie Valiant Charger (powered by straight 6 engines, they sound amazing) and the stupendously rare Coronet Super Bee that turned up just as we were heading home.

Day 2- All Japan Day.

 

This was the one I was really looking forward to. The show is usually held in Melbourne, but for the first time, they moved it to Sydney- to great success.

 

In all directions there was something awesome to be seen. From the beaten up weekend warriors to the rare 1971 Nissan 'Hakosuka' Skyline GTR.

Yep, Bosozoku is practiced here in Australia as well. I wish i'd had a chance to meet the owner 'Fonzy'.

 

Wheels. Some of the most sacred and important things in JDM culture.

 

 

Chasers, Soarers, 180SX's, Silvias- some of my favourite cars.

 

 

 

Freakin hot.

 

This 180SX drift car had Work Meister S1's on the left side, and Enkei RPF-1's on the right- couldnt decide between them perhaps? :lol:

So yeah, I had a freakin great weekend, hope I didnt bore you to death with my wall of photos. There are more, btw. Heres a link to my flicker :)

 

In case you were wondering, I use a late 90's Pentax SLR (see: uses film- not a DSLR). I only touched the photos up in photoshop, no special effects or major cropping.

Wow, looks like you had some fun - Australia is legit full of JDM holy crapola. North America got dumped on in terms of anything awesome...

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Very nice shots! :thumbsup: I love the editing of the lighting (and slight film grain on some). :)

Looks great, thanks for sharing.

But seriously, you don't have a digital camera? A decent phone camera?

[Milli]

:eek:

 

Soo many awesome cars! Look that white FTO GPX! Omg... i love Japanese cars... lol

[Soundwave]

Awesome shots. :nods:

[Ryzza5]

Just as Richard Hammond is secretly American, Milli is secretly Japanese :nods:

Lol, maybe.

[Narwhal]

Those are some awesome car and shots!+rep if I may!

[Prophecy]

Thanks, I love the graniness as well Leadfoot.

 

Hah, well Dad does have a Canon Eos, but I dont like using it because its not mine. Worried about dropping it. My girlfriend has a nice bridge camera, but I dont like the lack of a focus ring etc. Mum has a crappy old digital compact camera, my phone's camera is crappy. I'll be buying some sort of DSLR next year hopefully.

 

:) thanks milleh, nice to see you excited ahah.

 

And just thanks again to everyone :)

[Milli]

Lol... i wish we had more cool japanese cars over here. Between, that black old Celica is ruined. :sulk:

 

Loving the black Toyota Mark, the Chaser, the Skyline R30, Toyota Sport 800, red R32... etc etc. :lol:

[Prophecy]

The boso Celica is actually extremely well maintained. The styling may not be to everyones liking, but he loves it dearly. In saying that, I wish he'd kept the slightly silly tail pipes, instead of those ridiculous tailpipes.

[Milli]

I don't know, i dislike the front, headlights covers, that intercooler exposed, that thing going out of the front and going to the bumper... and i can continue... the silver one is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better looking.

[SBCriss]

Nice ones! Was your ISO too high or did you add the noise on some photos?

[Prophecy]

ISO was probably too high, certainly didnt add any noise. I like the graininess though.

 

Thats just Bosozoku for ya milli, the whole style is based on silhouette racers and such. Over the top bodykits, huge fender flares, headlight covers, exposed oil coolers (thats not an intercooler on the front). I would take the silver one over at one though, i'm not so into Bosozoku. I appreciate the dedication and effort that goes into the cars though, as silly as the end product is.

:lol: @ not an intercooler. That is for you see how much i know about car parts.

 

Well, i will respect that black Celica if it have over 500hp. If not, then sorry... lol

[Ozzmcom]

[Beav]
