Here are some photos from meeting up with Ryota Yuasa at Osaka Auto Messe. Visiting Messe had been on my list for many, many years, and when the opportunity finally came up, it turned into something even more special.

I picked Reuben up in Osaka, and together we met up with Ryota Yuasa and his partner at the event. It was Ryota’s first time attending a car show in many years, so getting to cruise through the halls with him was a really special experience. Watching him catch up with old friends, hearing his thoughts on different cars, and listening to his perspective on the event made the whole day unforgettable.

These are some of the moments and cars that caught my eye throughout the show. Enjoy the photos. Cheers.

Here are a few photos from my visit to Japfest in Poland. The first proper Japanese car show I ever attended was Japfest in Ireland way back, so it was epic to see how they did it over here. I was shocked because I came in with no expectations, and had mostly seen BMW stuff over the years, so this was a pleasant surprise. I’ll let the photos do the talking with the rest of this. I hope you enjoy a walk through the Polish Japanese car scene. Enjoy.

They let me race at Fuji Speedway. This is how I got approved for a racing license in Japan 🇯🇵

The world’s biggest AE86 festival at Fuji Speedway, AE86 culture at its absolute peak.

A day in Japan’s real car world. We follow a modified R34 through shaken before dropping it off at auction, and see how Japan’s strict car system really works.

After finishing our road trip through Europe, we somehow ended up in Abu Dhabi.

The final stop of our road trip led us to an insane hidden workshop in Belgium. This place has to be seen to be believed.

A crash nearly ended the trip, but we weren’t done yet.

After days on the island, we finally commit and drive our 45-year-old Corolla off it. No turning back now.

I had no idea Gran Canaria had a car scene like this. From late-night meets to wild drives and hidden garages, this island completely surprised us.

Picked up a 45-year-old Corolla on a remote island. Didn’t expect what came next. Episode 1 of the Shitbox Safari begins now.

Working on the KE70 again… I don’t know why I do this to myself, but here we are. Enjoy the chaos.

Reuben’s Laurel is in rough shape after the damage. In this video, we break it down, assess what’s left, and decide the future of the build.

Tearing into the KE70 and finding a few surprises inside… interior out, wiring chaos, vents confusion, and a bit more progress on the build.

Yesterday was one of the hardest days we’ve had on the channel. Reuben was caught in a crash over the crest at Mondello, and his beloved C33 Laurel was destroyed. Thankfully, he’s okay, but the car is in a bad way.

This episode is a tribute to Laurel, to Reuben, and to the years of memories this car has given us all. We’re going to do everything we can to bring it back.

To help with the rebuild, we’ve launched a limited-run T-shirt and sticker. After covering production costs, all profits will be allocated toward getting the C33 back on its feet and straightened out. Link below for more
