| Being
the first show by MOONEYES to have motorcycle entries,
there were no genre qualifications. Some had race queens,
choppers, rockers, big scooters, the list will go on to
infinitum. It's interesting how it's going to turn into. |
|
| San Onofre
showed up in one corner of the hall, at the Surf and Rod
booth. With a Woody Wagon parked outside the hut, you
could just smell the CA breeze coming your way. |
|
| The Hotwheels
T-bucket was sold out in minutes this year at the TORNADO
2002 booth. The ticketpick seemed to go quickly as well,
with great prizes such as Treasure hunt series and so
forth. Did you win any? |
|
| The Mini car/Model Car booths, located
near the exit of the Tornado 2002 booth, was just packed
with lots of kids. |

11th annual YOKOHAMA HOT RODECustom SHOW 2002 FLASH NOOZ #1
|
|
While
everyone else in the world is in their holiday moods, Japan's
greatest custom show, the YOKOHAMA HOT ROD-Custom SHOW was
held on December 1st. There were about a thousand people waiting
outside in the rain. |

The feature I could most likely say was Billy Gibbons of ZZTOP.
Him and his ZZ funk one, and Kopperhed was just swarming with
fans. The irony between the rusted ZZ funk one and the shiny
Kopperhed made it an interesting duo. I was afraid of the big
metal skull from the tank, weren't you?
From SO-CAL, Jimmy Shine and the Franken Shine and Harley. The
Franken Shine is a bare metal car, and Jimmy drove it into the
hall. These two duos, both one being rough and the other smooth,
must be a new concept such as to share the mere balance between
Radical & Smooth. |

The
line also was a monsterous one. But the superstars just kept
on signing autographs, and never showed an inch of fatigue
from the trip.

Most
of you must of seen the DragsterII driven by Shige
Suganuma drive thru. It's one heck of a ride isn't
it? By the way, the little DragsterII pedal car was
an entry vehicle made by Mr.Tamaki of HOTROD Jewelry.
Thank you Tamaki-san!

Doug
Miller produced an yellow Accord this year, the RICE
ROD. Being the first compact made by MOONEYES, it was
really popular by youngsters. The squeeze balls were
also a hit too!

Wildman
Ishii taught the As Bs and Cs of pistriping at the Pinstripe
College. All who missed out, we are sorry! Since it
was so popular, we might start doing something of that
sort in the near future.

|
Rockin'
Jelly Bean and his band, Jackie and the Cedrics made the crowd
roar and twist at the show, with 2 ups on the stage. The autograph
session here also made a long line, and those sexy bikini girls
were so gorgeus!
|
All went well this year at the show, and I hope
everyone had a good time there. Next week, we will give you
an update of the results of all the awards.
