All Toyota Winterfest 2015

It’s a public holiday, but we were all up early today for Toyota Winterfest which was being held at Sandown for the first time. It’s good to see this Sports 800 always doing the rounds. The owner told me there are 13 in Australia and 6 of them are still running. Charlie giving Harley’s car the once […]

Cromwell: Highlands Motorsport Park

DAY FIVE: We left Queenstown and were back on the road again and heading off to a new Motorsport facility built in 2013 by the Quinn (VIP pet foods) Family. You can pay to sit in passenger laps of the GT3 cup car or drive the Swift. We opted for the much cheaper option of go-karting. The […]

Japan: Shibuya, Akihabara and History Garage

It’s been 5 years since I first visited Japan and it’s good to see that their love of Coffee Boss is still strong. Tommy Lee appears to have teamed up with some J-Pop group called SMAP. The ads are all over the cities and on TV. Shibuya crossing, looking a bit scarier than usual. Stopped […]

100mm

2012 WTAC

Made the trip up to Sydney for world time attack @ Eastern Creek last weekend. It was pelting down rain in Sydney, but thankfully Eastern Creek was spared from the crazy wet weather. RE Amemiya. Not sure if they were actually Japanese but there was a lot of ‘ahhhh kawaaaaaiii!’ going on. Cute outfits! (^_^) […]

An alpaca on Australia day.

As it is Australia Day public holiday today, we all had a rather festive evening last night. I wasn’t too sure whether we’d be going for a drive as we’d all arrived home in the wee hours of the morning. After a good sleep, the message was sent out to the troops who managed to […]
