Studio Life～2020 New Year’s Eve

年末恒例のツーリングの行き先は市内唯一の景勝地加佐ノ岬です。風光明媚な所として有名ですが、日本海の荒波に洗われる冬の岬も一見の価値があります。北陸は年末になると天候不順がちで大晦日のツーリングには不向き故、お歳暮用加能ガニの買出しへ地元の漁港へ足をのばした折、ツーリングも兼ねることにします。では参りましょう！The destination of this year-end touring is Kasano Cape which is the only scenic spot in the city. It is famous for its scenic beauty, where the winter cape washed by the rough seas of the Sea of ​​Japan is worth while seeing as well. The weather at the Hokuriku district is likely unstable toward the end of the year and it won’t be suitable for touring on the New Year’s Eve. Therefore, I decide to go to a local…

Studio Life〜Godzilla Has Come

新たな旧車が仲間入りしました。クリスマスプレゼントではありませんよ。ゴジラと呼ばれ豪州でも人気の高い稀代の名車、日産GT-R R32です。全身エアロで固めたクリスタルホワイトの外装を纏い、低音の太いマフラー音を鳴り響かせながら走る様は、俺のような草臥れた年寄りよりも洒落たちょい悪オヤジ風かもしれませんね。旧車遍歴最終章ゴジラR32、お見知り置きを！A new comer among my vintage cars which is not a Xmas present to me has joined. It is the very famous domestic car, Godzilla called in Australia, Nissan GT-R R32.

Mercedes W113〜”User Shaken” at Hokuriku

来年２月に５回目の車検更新の時期を向えるが、今冬北陸は大雪との予報の中、そんな環境下で車検を受けるのは御免だし雪道走行は旧車にも良くない。熟慮？の末、早目に北陸でユーザー車検を受検することに。その顛末をお届けしよう。Pagoda needs to update the fifth renewal of the compulsory vehicle inspection by the authority (“User Shaken”) next February. This winter the Hokuriku district is predicted likely to have a heavy snowfall. The inspection in such a heavy snowfall is not beautiful and the driving on snowy roads would have adverse effects on the old cars itself. After due consideration, therefore, it is decided that the inspection should be taken on an earlier opportunity anywhere at Hokuriku. This is an…

Studio Life〜Reform for Expansion

Studio Life〜Reform for Expansion

ガレージ入口通路が狭い。圧迫感を感じる。パゴダ車庫入れの際、壁ニアミスを数度経験。運良く車体にダメージは無かったが何れ顕在化する危機感を抱いている。何れは通路を拡張したい思いは以前からあったのだが、喫緊の課題となったのだ。金はないが暇と体力は未だ保持しているので、通路拡張に向けたDIYリフォームを決断。さてどうなることやら？The garage corridor is narrow, which forces to feel oppressed. Near miss accidents on the wall occurred several times when parking Pagoda in the garage. Fortunately, there were no damages made on the car, but a sense of crisis which will become apparent eventually remains unchanged bearing on my mind. While I wish to expand the corridor some day, it is turned out to be an imminent issue. Although a money available is very limited, I have plenty of time…
