Amazing mix of cars and fantastic photography, I don't know why but those cars looks so cool in Japan, maybe cause they're all so far from their home countries?

I think it's the different backdrop - I wouldn't have paid much attention to a Mini Traveller or Saab 900 Turbo in the UK, but here in Tokyo they standout against the street scape.

I agree. Some real connoisseur's choices rather than just whatever had a top gear article about it that week.

Definitely a lot of enthusiastic petrolheads, although some of the modified cars can be of questionable taste...

A Duefen Bayern SL Roadster based on a BMW Z3...

This reminds me of those Nissan Micra-based Mk2 Jag look-not-much-likes that you see from time to time. Although this doesn't look terrible until you see those Z3 doors and can't unsee them.

Some great looking stuff otherwise though, looks like some real enthusiasm there.

Doors get to me too - once you spot them they look so out of place.

I never, ever tire of F40s. I'll never forget being at Silverstone in 2012 for the 25th anniversary and there were literally dozens of them. And, if you've never heard of him - look up the name John Pogson on YouTube.

Amen, one of the best days out ever!

What an absolute Gentleman John Pogson seems! proper petrolhead too!

Top bloke, Why have I never heard of him?

A little bit bonkers, but lovely to see out on the road.

Genuinely brought a smile to my journey to work this morning.
