Here’s another view of Saito launching his big sedan into the air. Thanks to Ben in Chicago for sending me this!

First ass-first entries was the new thing to do… now you have to get all 4 wheels in the air to be cool.

Rob, you’ve done the man style entries at Bihoku.  Feel proud!

Say no to the long e-brake junk!

In today’s world where the internet never forgets anything, I’m having the hardest time trying to find pictures of some really good AE86s for 8/6 day.

It seems that some of these cars were pre-internet drifting hype and that google has allowed them to be forgotten. If anybody has some good photos of great ae86s back in the day, please post them somewhere so they can be remembered. Here are some that I just could not find!

• Terasaki Gen – Street Levin pre D1 graphics
• Kamimoto Hisashi – Red supercharged Trueno
• Hiro Sumida – Rust colored Trueno with gold Dori Dori
• Yamashita and Hiroshi twin Running Free Truenos

Since I couldn’t find any pictures of the cars I wanted to post, here’s a backup pic – Tsuchiya’s TRD Trueno. This car inspired a lot of people!

Oh heck, and I might as well through in a couple others.

Here’s Steve’s ae86 in my old driveway:

And Perry’s new style AE86 before it got mashed and before he joined the Imola Red club.  Haha “MANFOOT”

A few weeks ago I learned how to make Chicken Chasseur, which is a French dish that is kind of like a stew with a chicken cut into 8 pieces. Tonight I did pasta inspired by that recipe using thigh meat that I cut into small pieces.

I decided to write a random blog entry today because I haven’t written in a while.  So here’s what the name Yoshinoya means when you break down the Japanese.

It breaks down like this: Yoshi-no-ya.

• Yoshi is some dude’s name
• No is a word that indicates possession
• Ya indicates that it is a store

So basically it translates to Yoshi’s store (restaurant).

If this is news to you, you’ll probably notice now a lot of restaurants that end in “ya”…. Honda Ya, Bento Ya, Sushi Ya, Osaka Ya, Erobi Ya, Viagra Ya.  Wait…
