EVENT: Japanese Car meeting 2025
The “Japanese car meeting” is a new event, held in the cool Motorworld at a former plant around Winterthur, Switzerland. The “Open Air Tours” organizers hold a variety of (non-japaense-themed) car events there, and the Japanese is just one of them. But a very cool one, I have to say. I didn’t really know what to expect. I showed up early, and the queue was quite long already, but once inside it was all still quite calm. I brought my EK9 to have a last roll-out of the year and got placed in the center somewhere between an MX-5 and some Imprezas: After that, I started to wander around and…

The red one in front is a genuine Swiss-Market 2000GT Shortly after I got my tool-wall, another original Datsun workshop tool wall popped up for sale.

PLACES: 5’000 km through DE, DK, SE and PL:
Every few years, my wife and I take the car and go and visit my family in Sweden. We usually take the car to be more flexible, and try to take a different route every time, so we can make the most out of it and see as many things as possible.So a few weeks ago, we started our journey early in the morning, to arrive at our first destination 14 hours later: A random small village in Denmark. We had chosen this place, as our favorite place was only available the next day and the little BnB looked great. We went to the neighboring village at the Danish west…
