My pics from TAS 2006 (41 images/ ~12MB)

[mrmephistopheles]

First, let me preface by admitting I didn't take that many pics, and most of them turned out poorly. It was a shitty day and I wasn't feeling great. The whole thing kinda sucked compared to last year.

The girls

This chick had at LEAST 30-40 guys taking pic of her at any given time.

Well dressed girls was kind of big this year. Kind of refreshing to see them looking nice instead of looking slutty.

I couldn't get to the front side of her to take a pic so I got what I could.

Well dressed with a hint of slut.



Is it me or does she have a manface?


The cars and other stuff
Amemiya does it right.

New Mitsuoka car. Didn't check to see what it was originally. I'm guessing MR-S since they have completely removable body panels.

The new fad is having ion plated 'rainbow' lips. No shit.

I LOVE these new Volks

iirc this is in JGTC



I wasn't kidding! Dig the lugnuts too.

Rawr

New STi



Nice Porsche

Bimmer with SR

I think this was a Nissan March, but I'm not sure.

Ridge Race 6 anyone? (Actually an NSX)

Lisa got a pair of these for her car. Yes, pink windshield wipers.

Very clean engine bay

Go Team Julius!

This Odyssey was on an air suspension (this was at it's lowest point in the demo)

I got fascinated with paint colors this year. This one looked neat to me.

This is for Barry. Looks like Brash Boy is cleaning up their act.

Yes. That's a PINK radiator from Yashio Factory.

Vertex S14

Wall O' Seats, courtesy of Garage Thrash.

Ugly but intriguing Z33 showcar. The orange LEDs were set to blink.

SexyStyle 180sx

Yashio Factory has new graphics!

Great Company FD. I saw this being stripped down and rebuit in the weeks prior to TAS.

Brostar.

Forgot what car this was, but thought the paint was nice.

new Z

RS Concept Z33

I heart Weld

No sunken face here.

SONIC BOON!




That's all. Enjoy. Hate. Whatever.
Most were Canon 20D with 28-135 IS without flash.

Awesome pics Meph!!

[aznpoopy]

the re amemiya red FD... um, wow.

the headlights make it kind of reminiscient of the old school cosmo. i really like it.

[nsn240]

wow, awesome pics. what kind of camera is that?

not to jack the thread here, but i thought this was interesting, what did they do with the line that usually connects to the vc? it goes vc to the catch can, instead of the tubing by the intake manifold... where did all that go?!

i saw that, but all the vacuum tubing thats usually by the injectors, is all gone... that hardlines.

edit: or maybe is just all the hidden wiring, hard to tell from that pic

[go240]

nice pics!

[ranisron]

nice looking cars for sure! I can't vouch for the girls though.... ..... .....they aren't that pretty...

[drifter808]

i hate having dial up!!! it took me about 30-40 mins to look at all of these. but it was worth it. But i agree with ranisron, the girls aren't all that special, And yes she does have a man face.

[infinitexsound]

[RSP13-Sideways]

[Dousan_PG]

[unwed_transient]

[Dousan_PG]

i have more pics of it myself, iwas at tas too this year
maybe i can see if i better shots. im sure it is there, just relocated. those crazy jtowners

[andy31144]

Awesome pictures. My personal favorite was that S2000, that thing looks sick. The Weld car does come in a close second though.

[snatch13]

those are some sick pics! nice work!

[midland300]

real nice pics

[papa]

awesome pics..i heart that weld car and those pin striped volks!!

[FRpilot]

those black/red tip lip looks ok.. i think that look is better on old school wheels and if the entire lip was red instead of just the tip.. perfect example would be a set of advan sa3r in red/black.

[exitspeed]

Nice pics. Is it wrong if I think those rainbow lip wheels are HAWT?

Naaaaaa...

[kuramaya]

Nice pics, I was supposed to go but I had a last minute trip to Hawaii...my friends said it was pretty weak this year and they just made it a drinking trip...

[sushimonster]
