Hey dudes,
Went to the inaugural Rockin' Victor show with Darren (De Soto Diplomat Plaza!) and Brenton (KE10 Corolla) to fly the Japanese nostalgia flag (well, Brenton and I did).
Here's a nice shot of us on the way - Brenton's KE10 in front and Darren's De Soto leading the (small) pack:

Brenton's KE10 is a nice thing to behold - with pimp-daddy red interior and white dashboard!

I did a few 'modifications' to the Bellett for the show; I carefully cut a couple of pin-up girls out of vinyl, stuck them on and then peeled them off... to lift my paint perfectly in the shape of some saucy babes.

I got my mate Nige to make up a sticker with "Hembra Japonesa Loca" which Alta-Vista translated from "Crazy Japanese Bitch!" and I put that on the back over the naff hi-mount brake light and voila! Instant trophy queen!

I did stick around for the trophies... thought i might get one for best custom paint... I should definitely have got one for best patina, but I don't think they had such a thing, dammit! Actually, Darren's patina was better anyway...

Friend and fellow forum jockey Antus had his TX coupe in the car park but I didn't take a snap! The only other Isuzu-machine there! Whoops sorry dude!
Cheers,
