In all my years in Japan I’ve never seen an influx of tourists like I have in the last two years since the country opened up post-pandemic.

With famed parking areas like Daikoku and Umihotaru having been turned into popular destinations for the countless companies and individuals out there offering “tours” there’s also…

The 2020s seem to have become the decade for resto-mods; but with EV this and hybrid that, recreating the heroes that made a lot of us fall in love with cars just makes sense. Not so long ago, restomods were almost exclusively reserved for big dollar classics and vintage supercars. But exclusivity no more, just in the last couple of years we’ve seen the JDM space sprout a few of its own resto-mods; the Built By Legends GT-Rs and TOM’S’ Supra just to name a few. That’s where the Prodrive P25 comes in. However, there’s a considerable difference between the P25 and other…
