Most of you have already seen the Vlog we did on Gatebil 2018. When this site used to be all about articles and photo, I had much more time for writing. I’ve been shooting pictures for many years, and I’m not necessarily great at it, its just something I enjoy doing along with capturing whatever I can on video. Flip and I shot a lot of photos on this trip, and I felt like they needed to be put up onto the site. At the time of writing this, the Vlog has already gone live so these photos are just a slower recap of what could be described as the craziest Car event in Europe.

“This is my happy face in the happy place” these were the exact words Reuben shouted as we shot his pride and joy on the large bend at Ruskodgen. Back in 2013, we took a trip to Gatebil to see what the fuss was all about, and it blew our minds. It was like nothing we had ever seen before.

I never thought this day would come. After nearly ten years of writing articles about other peoples cars on this website, I never thought id be putting together a feature about one of my vehicles. Its a little strange to be honest, I’ve spent years travelling around Ireland trying to root out the better side of Irish car culture and its funny to see this little blue nugget getting some attention.

It almost seems like I never owned the Trueno, we got it in July 2017 and the car was actually in one piece until October of that year. We brought it to AE86 festival, Japfest and then stripped it down for blasting. Its been a shell longer than a car at this point and as of writing this, it’s a year and five months of metalwork with Barry.

AE86 festival Ireland, arguably the largest collection of AE86’s outside of Japan. Last year we hit Mondello for one of the biggest gatherings of square old Toyotas RWD Toyotas.

I had been meaning to shoot these cars for quite some time now. During the week when I’m working up in JDMDistro, I’ve been trying to make my way out to certain cars or groups of mates with interesting sheds. These lads are all local to where I’m living midweek so we managed to lock in a date after work last year and head for the hills.

We check out five of Irelands finest AE86’s and uncover some old photos of my Trueno.

The A31 Cefiro is somewhat lost in the noise when it comes to RWD Japanese four-door sedans. It was released at a time when Toyota had a fully stacked roster of cars, the Chaser, Cresta and Mark two, these were their flagship mid-sized Sedans. Nissan was feeling a little threatened by Toyota and decided to do something about it.

Shed distractions, rings, A31 Cefiro’s and old stories with very strong Irish accents.

The Irish motor festival was the brainchild of the guys at Drift games, they managed to secure Punchestown as a Drift venue once again and use of the massive exhibition hall which is right next to the drift track. It’s great to have another show on the calendar each year and we’ve always loved Punchestown.

With the freshly painted Calsonic March, a few AE86’s, a couple of Nissans and a pair of starlets, we hit the road for the Irish Motor festival. This episode was supposed to be uploaded last week but Japanese Jet lag won the battle.

The Trueno gets neglected as we give the k11 March its final form. Rob has a Mitsubishi BBQ and we go off-roading.

The Trueno enjoys a little progress until we are distracted and rip apart the daily driver K11 March to unleash its final form!

If you watch the vlogs, you are probably aware of how this shoot came about. Just after we finished up taking photographs of Johns Sileighty, he mentioned his friend Padraig who had a pretty tasty selection of cars not far from the photoshoot location.
