 I'm back Part IV - Old School JDM-ness at Daikoku and even Bosozoku!!! (56k, go make a sandwich) | « » 6:25 AM 4-28-2004 | |
|
This was a meet at Daikoku in Yokohama a couple of days after January 1st. To celebrate the new year, bosozoku (motorcycle hooligans) cruise into Kamakura on motorcycles via the Shonan (like our PCH) in droves. Their other favorite mode of transport is an unregistered Mark II or Cresta (our Cressida) with its roof chopped off... The weekend after January 1st, they gather at Daikoku (a well-known spot for meets) for a huge meet at a rest stop... This is where I snapped these pics. The cars ranged from bozo'd out old school Laurels/Crestas/Skylines to crazy vans and flashing trucks...
Daikoku is in the middle of the tangle of off/on-ramps
Aerial shot
The meet went on until 4am, when the police (all the red lights on the left) decided to shut it down, using Skyline GT-R police cars  
Bosozoku in the flesh 
 The musical entertainment for the evening
 Bozo'd scooters
 I have video of this one... It was incredible... Very epilepsy-inducing
 I am so doing this to my S13
 Bozo'd chopped Corolla (our Geo Prizm)
 Bozo's chopped Mark II wagon
 
Part 2 coming soon... Gotta save that bandwidth

There goes the myth that the Japanese are the most efficient people on the planet. Hand the crown back to the Germans.It's entertaining for the freak factor, like a really fat woman, but I prefer an underwear model any day.

I don't even know where to start...
My car is my mistress. I spoil her with gifts. Cater to her ever need. She keeps satisfying me. Asking me for more. I don't know how to say no. My wallet is my conscience. The friend that tells you she is using you. Needless to say, I'm broke.

That is gangsta! 
Need to get more pics of this one, too. I've never seen an old one. 
This kind of has a futuristic post-apocalyptic look to it, maybe that's why it's popular over there?

No, that's a C130 Nissan Laurel. Mechanically, it's identical to a C110 Skyline, for the most part.Some of the less radical C110 Skylines are just beautiful! I'm really digging the MX70 Chaser/Cresta/MarkII's, too...

You act like this is a new thing. Note the cars... Skylines, Laurels, and Celicas from the '70s, big Toyota sedans from the '80s... this style is old, it's been going on for a long long time. The cars are so radical because people have just been one-upping each other for that long. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the last thing I ever expected to see on one of those vans is a mural of a tanuki doing his laundry.

I definitely like this one. Any more pictures, possibly larger?
I feel confident that I will not soon understand Japanese Car culture. I can only hope to one day experience it first hand because it looks like all kinds of fun.

Very interesting, to say the least. I believe these are there normal transport trucks ?
I know alot of countries don`t go as big or heavy as the U.S.
This was a good post, I won`t be visiting it again though. I`ve already
eaten more than I need. 56k isn`t fun, but nothing else is offered here.
