I will pick up the Nostalgic 2 Days coverage with another Spotlight-o-rama and after the slightly too Nissan oriented previous one, I thought I should probably mix it up a little (mind you 65% of the cars at the show were Nissans!). I’m a sucker for older Toyota Crowns, no matter what body shape, but [...]
I will attempt to tackle the Nostalgic 2 Days in the sort of manner one would at the show itself. If you were there you would head towards the cars that stand out the most and circle them, getting a closer look at their details. The first car that stopped me in my tracks was [...]
No matter what school of thought you may belong to, the kyusha scene in Japan has been steadily growing in popularity over the last few years. The vastness in which vintage cars are approached in Japan is as diverse and as varied as the culture itself, no matter how you tackle your own build, it will [...]
It’s right back at Daikoku PA now for a final look at the other day’s supercar gathering. During the few hours that I was there I literally never stopped walking around, because as cars left, more kept coming in. By around lunch time the lot was so full that a many were forced to park [...]
Had enough of GT-Rs yet? Hopefully not as I’ve got one final selection of pictures from what was one epic gathering of Japan’s best Skylines. It’s so hard to decide what to show, as there are so many generations of the GT-R, it’s often hard to satisfy everyone, but I think I’m not wrong in [...]
Here at Speedhunters we often push ourselves to cover unfamiliar territory, new car scenes or emerging styles. It is something that we have to do to not only keep coverage fresh, but make sure we tap into every possible angle of car culture out there. At times may find ourselves out of our comfort zones [...]
Sometimes feeling confused is a good thing. Let me elaborate; for us Speedhunters feeling a little disoriented at events or shops means we are usually surrounded by a lot of goodness, goodness that plays havoc with our brain making it hard for us to decide where exactly where we should begin our coverage. This is [...]
This year’s Retro Rides Gathering returned to the magnificent Prescott Speed Hill Climb, buried deep in the rural countryside of Gloucestershire in the UK. It was a fantastic day of sun and amazing builds, and the Gathering showed off its expectedly hugely eclectic turn-out of cars in the club corrals under the orchard trees at [...]
Rather than heading out to Daikoku once again tonight and risk not finding any GT-Rs, I decided to do some digging instead. I pulled out one of the first external HDs I ever got and started looking through pictures I took ten or so years ago. Back in the day, for a short period of [...]
With everyone convinced that the future of the car magazine is set to move entirely online, viewable on iPads or smartphones, it's great to see that paper has no intention of giving up. This month a new magazine has hit the bookstands in Japan, aimed at classic car aficionados and general car enthusiasts that appreciate [...]
So much win in just this one picture, I'm speechless. -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on the Kyushakai blog

It isn't every day you come across a car like this, that's for sure. It all happened during a driving expedition my friends and I organized last fall, something we have been doing for years now. The idea is to all meet up at the Hakone Turnpike, one of Japan's most well known driving roads, [...]
Mmmm…. this really is one of the most desirable classic cars on the planet isn't it? I've just uploaded desktop resolution shots of the car so you can inspect just how unbelievably realistic this brand new game engine is… Love it! :R

Those of you who are into video games may have noticed that we’ve started to promote Need for Speed SHIFT across the interweb. Now, I’m normally VERY careful when it comes to showcasing Need for Speed content on Speedhunters as we know you are a tough crowd to please… but I am feeling so excited [...]
