These days Japan is struggling from the devastating earth-quake, deadly tsunami and nuclear crisis. Sadly numerous people didn't make it and yet some had extremely lucky. Same goes with the cars (please note, I do not equalize people's lives with piece of metal) and Takuya Sato's old school Honda S800 was very lucky to got away with minor scratches.

On the first pic you can see how he tries to catch the same cool moment as Honda did on their sketch. The dog is missing and the cars stands inversely but nevertheless it's a cool shot!

This pics showing Honda S800 after the earth-quake and it looks almost untouched.

Thank you Takuya Sato for showing us the pics despite the all madness that is going on at the land of the rising sun!

This is Samuli's Nissan Skyline GTR R32 or "Skysuka" as he call it and its street legal Godzilla with purpose for racing at Finnish Time Attack series. As you see the car has serious mods as it should be for a 650 HP race car and really cool old school livery. Samuli's Nissan has been also featured at Speedhunders so I won't copy/paste the specs and rather check it there. Also check out his racing blog at skylineracing.fi and fan page.

Thank you Sam for sending me this!
