Agreed, these events are awesome. They really spend some time picking out the twistiest and most scenic way to get us all from A to B. I'm bummed now when I go to a regular old car show that doesn't end with all the cars driving great roads for a couple hours afterwards.

There were some amazing cars at the last Tokyo Calling. Let's get bay area roadsters out to this en masse.

John, I was right behind you for a while after we left Petaluma at the July BCR. What a fun day.

Wonderful driving day at Tokyo Calling!
Image

So many roadsters!
Image

It was great seeing Pat, Edmark, Mike Young, Ian, Erik. There were even more roadsters that I did not get a chance to speak with. These BCR rally events go by so quickly...but the memories last.

I led a group of 9 Z cars, full report soon!

If you'want to experience the Northern California coast and great driving roads, sign up for the next BCR rally. I promise you will love it.

We could photoshop Farrah on top of Mike’s car. Idea for the 2023 roadster calendar?

Here is my coverage of the Tokyo Calling 2 Rally held on 9/24 in San Rafael, Ca, enjoy!
http://www.zcarblog.com/2022/10/04/even ... ing-2.html

I led a group of Z cars from the shop. We drove up through San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge
Image

Breakfast Club Rally (BCR) events always have a pre-rally social hour to admire the cars, and this was an All-Japanese event so there was some serious J-Tin. Like Tom's genuine Nissan Fairlady Z432:
Image
Image

Of course, my roadster radar is always ON and I was happy to see so many in attendance:
Image
Image
Our friend Erik and his R16-stroker powered SPL. We dyno tuned it recently and it rips, you can see that report here: http://www.zcarblog.com/2022/08/29/perf ... dster.html

Ian's '67 2000 on the move:

Mike Young's '67 2000:

Andy's '69 SPL

The only RHD Fairlady 2000 (High windshield):

Image

Edmark's '69 SRL:

You can see more of Ed's L20b-powered roadster here: viewtopic.php?p=328591#p328591

It was a great driving day, video and more photos in my report:

I highly recommend the BCR events, they are top notch. Sign up for the next one!
