What’s that thing about the eyes being the window to someone’s soul? Anyway, think of the Tokyo Auto Salon as being the window into Japan’s twisted, perverted, and absolutely mental soul of its car culture.Where most other car shows like to keep things restrained, elegant, and well generic, TAS throws all that out the...
The Suzuka Sound of Engine event was a celebration of all things motoring from the past and the present. It's a weekend where classic racing cars, motorbikes, and the latest supercars come together for an orgy of petrol, noise, and fun.
