As I did last month with the JCCA New Year Meeting, I figured that the best method for covering the parking lot at Osaka Auto Messe would be a “photo attack” showing as many cool machines as I possibly can. I think that by looking through this massive selection of photos, you’ll get a reasonable idea of the sort of machines you’ll find on the streets of Kansai.
Before I begin, a quick little note. When I arrived at Auto Messe on Sunday afternoon with the intent to hunt the parking lot I realized that I my SLR camera battery behind at my hotel some 40 minutes away. Uh oh.
So with light beginning to fade and cars starting to head home, I improvised and put my trusty iPhone4S into service as the weapon for this photo attack, so please excuse the less than “amazing” quality of these photos. Anyway, let the attack commence!
