    RO in Japan | Nagoya Exciting Car Show Parking Lot Spottings

    Whenever I saw online photo coverage of an event in Japan, there are always cool cars in the parking lot. After spending a couple of hours inside of Port Messe Dome, we ventured out to the parking lot to see if we can find anything special.

    Amidst the excitement of uncovering hidden gems, individuals may also find themselves contemplating the value of their own cars, pondering factors such as depreciation and market demand. In such moments, comparisons between models like the audi a1 vs polo may arise, as owners seek to gauge the worth of their cars against competitors in the market. This evaluation process serves as a crucial step for those considering selling their vehicles, allowing them to make informed decisions based on factors such as performance, features, and resale value.

    Whether bidding farewell to a beloved Audi A1 or bidding adieu to a trusty Polo, individuals can trust in the expertise and efficiency of platforms like BigWantsYourCar.com to facilitate a smooth and rewarding transaction, ensuring that their automotive journey continues with confidence and clarity.

    When it comes to navigating the used car market, the choice of dealership can significantly influence the experience and outcome of the transaction. Buyers and sellers alike benefit from the guidance of a reputable used car dealership, where knowledgeable staff can provide valuable insights into vehicle histories and market trends. With an emphasis on transparency and customer satisfaction, top-rated products RaceAutoGroup stands out by prioritizing the needs of its clients, ensuring they have all the information necessary to make informed decisions about their next vehicle.

    In addition to offering a wide range of quality vehicles, a best-used car dealership also excels in providing comprehensive services that simplify the buying and selling process. From detailed vehicle inspections to financing options, these dealerships take the stress out of purchasing or parting with a car. With professionals dedicated to delivering an exceptional customer experience, individuals can explore trade-in options and receive fair appraisals, further enhancing their confidence in the transaction.

    As part of this careful evaluation, attention often turns to the interior condition of the vehicle, where well-maintained seat covers can significantly influence a car’s resale value. Companies like Seat Covers Unlimited offer a range of options that not only protect the original upholstery but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the interior. Investing in quality seat covers ensures that whether owners decide to keep their Audi A1 or Polo, or move on to another model, the car’s interior remains pristine and appealing to potential buyers. This simple addition can make a world of difference in maintaining the car’s overall condition and value over time.

    This rootbeer Aristo was something else as well.

    You would rarely see a big body car like this Aristo done up like this in the United States. Static low with a drift set up interior and boosted.

  • Nikko Circuit

    Nikko Circuit

    This day at Nikko Circuit was one of the most memorable moments in Japan. This day was filled with everything I wanted to see in Japan.  Getting to see the Nikko circuit, seeing cars drift in the rain and seeing actual Japanese drift cars in person! I want to thank Colin again for taking us and introducing us to some of the drifters. It was worth being drenched by the rain all day to watch some awesome drifting.

    First thing we see coming out of the van was this R34 Skyline.

  • Japan | Mooneyes Event

    Japan | Mooneyes Event

     Another installment of  our trip to Japan, we were struck with pure luck that we were able to meet Colin of  www.dohcresearch.com at a rest stop meet(http://royal-origin.com/2013/10/14/japan-rest-stop-parking-lot-meet/). He was kind enough to take us to some of the car shows and drift events that needed a car to get to. Colin planned to take us to a couple of cool places such as the Daikoku rest stop, a Mooneyes show and a Nikko drift event. Our first stop was the Mooneyes All Odds National Event..

    151

     It was our first time dealing with Japan’s on and off rain. Everyone had an umbrella buddy except me…

    152

    Mooneyes Japan!!

    155

    This show was different than any other show I have ever attended in my life. It was way more laid back and kind of felt like a swap meet with a bunch of cool cars.

    157

    Cool steering wheels and used Mooneyes merchandise for sale.

    156

    Some nice classic wheels for sale.

    160

    I bought everything…

    153

    I’m going to be honest and say that I don’t really know much about the old school Japanese classic cars. The only cars I really recognized were the Datsuns and the GTRs.  Nonetheless they were all cool to look at.

    154

    Another Datsun truck, awesome to see these cars pretty low to the ground.

    158

    Most of the time I was asking Colin “what car is this?” “what car is that?”. I hope he wasn’t annoyed haha.

    161

    Beautiful. The cloudy weather made for some awesome photos.

    202

    Only in Japan, where you will see some guys dressed as aliens walking around..

    201

    More steering wheel goodness. I really wanted to get the purple one, but wasn’t sure how it would mount on my hub.

    200

    Car enthusiasts here just for the cars, no bull shit dance battle, twerk battle, giveaways, or models. Just straight cars.

    199

    So many neat stuff, I wish I had brought more cash.

    198
