| Car meet-ups are an event among enthusiasts and hobbyist. Annual gatherings related to one theme are part of the car culture. All Japan Day is one event that focuses on imports from the land of the rising sun. Its one of the annual events, that is worth making the visit if you’re a Japanese car fan.
In South Australia the Japanese cars has invaded this state that cultivated a growing community. The Japanese imports are certainly the heart of this event that makes interesting how some brands have built their legacy seen in this last day. |
The clouds may have been grey all of the sudden in Glenelg, but that didn’t stop car enthusiasts to see what the last All Japan Day has to offer. But it’s obvious that this event was dominated by Nissan with their heritage Skyline and a fleet of Subaru Impreza and WRX in one area.
But you’ll also see Mazda’s famed Rotary Engine powered RX cars scattered around Wrigley Reserve. The classic Toyota cars are not far behind with models from the latest 1960s to the 1970s has been mostly imports direct from Japan. Toyota Celica and Cressida models are represented with their variations from Sedan and Wagons.
Honda cars are a handful with the pre-Nissan badge cars namely the rare Datsun cars is present. There are modern cars from Lexus namely the LFA in yellow was at the centre of its all. But the one that catches most people’s attention is the engine roaring blue sports car where a huge crowd has formed.
Though it’s fairly early in the morning people have been arriving at Wrigley Reserve to get a glimpse of these cars. Some are presentable with a little mock up picnic that had a classic boom box that had been preserved in that era. There are other cars that get a lot of attention but that red Celica does have some ‘swag’ when it came to presentation when it first came out.
Its quite noting every car brand at this year’s All Japan Day is represented even though some of them lack the models that where there based from last year’s photos that where shared by those who went. The weather was cool but as the mood of the weather changes people still arrive to get a glimpse of these imports in one location.
Overall All Japan Day is one of the annual car meet-ups that surely have become South Australia’s car culture and this years they successfully made it possible to held the event for two days.
