NEWS — CLASSICS

A big thank you to Janet for letting us borrow her AE86 for the weekend. The people loved it and were amazed at how clean this Hachi Roku is. Definitely one of the top 3 cars at the event! Thanks again Janet. Also a big thank you to everyone who came by the tent at Formula Drift to say hello and pick up some gear! A couple of more photos of Janet's Hachi Roku after the jump. - Alex

I've shot a lot of cars-- this has to be one of the most photogenic if not most iconic ones I had ever had the privilege to shoot.
