Last Friday I went to Lisbon with the objective of visiting the International Automobile Expo in Lisbon but what is a trip to Lisbon without visiting my friend’s shop Jikai ^_^. Upon arrival later in the afternoon at his shop I found loads of people outside and got scared because I thought “oh crap, now I won’t be able to talk with him at peace”, thankfully most of them went away right before I arrived, only two more guys stayed and they were nice guys to speak too. So I came out of there with a goodie which I asked him to keep for me, the Shuraki Akatsuki.
Some figures, I guess you know most of them of course.
More figures, the rare Max Factory Kazumi black version, he also has the white version in the storage room.
Some “articulated” final fantasy figures, trading figures, and PVCs.
More figures, Gundam figs, Gundam 00 trading figs, Lockon’s Haro, MGS, etc…
Load of Manga.
Wall of Gunpla, I was so damn tempted to buy the MG Mk-II but I need to get a hold of myself 😛 . There were some Armored Core kits also.
The following pics have nothing to do with figures, gunpla, or whatever things related to anime. Enjoy the pics of the automobile expo.
The Lamborghini Gallardo, definitely a really beautiful car.
The Mitsubishi Lancer.
What is an Auto Expo without the cute girls ^_^.
The Lexus IS F, a really nice car and very expensive too, if I recall it was around 180 000 €.
This gal was really in a very provoking pose, I wanted to take both home.
The prototype Bocanegra in English Black Mouth by Seat a Spanish company owned by Volkswagen.
The old Toyota 2000 GT, this is a special year for Toyota because they make 40 years of existence in Portugal.
A future possible car for my family, the Toyota Auris.
A formula one simulator on board of a Toyota.
A famous car among young people, although it’s expensive in my point of view regarding its size but this version is a bit bigger than normal.
The Cabriolet version of the same model.
The Audi TTS, didn’t know this model till I saw it.
The new R8, really cool car.
Another nice girl posing for the picture. The Lexus area.
I love the Bentley’s, some call them the Old man’s car, I don’t care, they’re just awesome.
Hot lady if you ask me.
The Honda Civic, a futuristic looking car.
I guess everyone knows this one XD.
A Honda prototype.
A weird but cool bike.
I really like the Mazda RX-8
The Volvo electric car
One of my favorite car from the show, the Peugeot 308 RCZ prototype.
The crown jewel of the expo if you ask me. You gotta love the Nissan GT-R
The Renault Formula 1 car
A Renault Laguna prototype
Couldn’t get any closer, just like the Nissan GT-R
An Italian car, the Alfa Romeo
There were some gaming machines as well, this one was for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. There was no queue for playing because most of people were interested in viewing the real deal XD.
The Lotus rides
The McLaren Mercedes, probably the most expensive Mercedes, costing around 500 000€
The Mercedes SL, an old couple was trying it, they clearly were very rich, you could see from their jewelry.
A car that doesn’t need introductions, the Rolls Royce is known all around the globe
The Scuderia of Ferrari
The Maserati, another Italian ride
There were loads and loads of more cars and trademarks like Subaru, Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai and others. I took more pictures but I decided to put only these ones.
Lots of nice stuff in your friend shop ^^.
Beautiful car and beautiful girls, that’s what makes up an auto show ^^
Thank you so much for posting pic from my shop! Amazing chat session we had, always a pleasure to have you presence around.
BUT! Nothing really comes close to the shots you took from the cars and… the gals! 😉
Well, can’t afford these dream cars…. maybe I’ll consider stocking model kits of some of these, hehe….
(They should make PVCs of these gals…. zomg. Or maybe not.)
~drools~ I would go to lisbon just for the shop but the car show puts the cherry on right thier (Ur lucky ^_^) that’s gotta be cool to have a friend that owns a figure and anime shop, do you get like free/ cheap stuff from him/her?
ok … i thought the stacks of figurines and manga belong to u and they r in ur room!! oops. i almost say ‘ur room can be a figurine museum.’ XD
@valho: yes lots of goodies there ^^, hobby japan mags, dengeki hime, newtype, dengeki g, loads of trading figs and more stuff. To bad the shop is far like hell XD.
@Nakano: Yeah, it was a good chat session indeed. Hum… model kits of these ride?! Well it sure is great but these ones most definitely need cement and a really good paint job 😛 .
@Domino: No, I don’t get cheap nor free stuff from him, we maybe be friends but when it comes to business it’s business I don’t ask for favors nor discounts, but it’s always great going there even if it’s once or two times in a year.
@renaye: yeah the first picture can fool you a little bit 😛 .
Oh such sweet rides ! You even took pictures of my car in it’s red version. It shows you have really good taste 😉 Too bad I completely forgot about the auto expo … I love going there every year …
@Ravhin: Which one is your car? The Honda Civic? Because I doubt it’s either the Honda S2000 or the Mitsubishi Evolution XD. You can still go to the expo, it ends at May 4th
Unfortunately I don’t have the time even with a holiday and all that 😦 This Sunday was the only chance. And yes it is the Civic, but you know when I bought it I DID consider the S2000, not the Lancer cause it spends way too much fuel.
wow, nice curves on those, um… cars. I wonder if I can take them for a test drive if I ask them nicely?
Peugeot 308 looks nice indeed! Thanks for sharing those nice pictures Belela-san 😀
I am pleased to see at least one electric car! and from Volvo haha. This would have been a shame not to present this kind of car… were they more presented?
I guess, if I had the choice, I would choose and Audi or Alfa Romeo. I like the design of those models.
Back to figures, there is a lot a great and rare pieces in your friends shop. How much did you take back /w you? Just the Shuraki? noooo must be kidding? ^^;
@lu-k: Unfortunately there was only one electric car but there were many hybrid ones. Not very fond of the Alfa Romeo but definitely like the Audis. Yes he has loads of rarities and I only brought the Shuraki although I was tempted to buy one more but I can’t spend so much because of my future trip to New York and I’m lacking space to put my figures 😛
MAN I LOVE THE MITSUBISHI LANCER…
And now that I’ve seen the photos, I’m really willing to go to Jikai to see the shop (and all that stuff, of course) with my own eyes.
Thats good of you not taking advantage of the situation ^_^
hehe I’m more interested in your friend’s shop than the cars :p
nice selection of items there 😀
I don’t suppose your friend will let you nick stuff from his shop? P:
The cars look great though I have not much interest in them unless there are anime decals on it ie; itashas xD
@Dark: Well just say it and we’re on the next train to Lisbon XD.
@ron~: Lol I thought as much, he indeed has a very nice selection of items, that’s why I’m going to stop shopping at international stores and buy more from him from now on.
@Shin: Nick stuff?! If I find anyone “nicking” stuff from his shop he/she’s dead XD. No interest in cars unless they’re Itashas? These are cars for normal people with money, not for guys/gals who aren’t normal, like extreme Otaku’s hahahahaha.
The GTR is just THAT awesome…
Oh my!!! Nice store!!! I would like to go there. It seems they have a pretty cool stock of new figures. I see Kallen. I so want that!!!
It seems that you had a great day at the Autoshow!!! Nice cars. I see a new Lexus IS is coming out. Sadly,, I already drive a Lexus IS that came out last year. Still, those cars look sick!!! You must had a great day!!!
GT5 rocks!
It’s a shame that Toyota didn’t have a AE86 in their stand…
AE86 >>>>> the rest
🙂
P.S: You should have take more photos from the girls around the cars… 😛
@belela are you nuts? going by try to lisbon from Faro? Dear lord, forgive this lost soul.. tsc tsc
ahah tens moderação. tem vergonha belela… onde já se viu.. censura aqui.. 25 Abril foi em 1974 já…
@emogrumpyuke: hehe definitely GT-R rocks, I was like “OH MY GOD, THAT SHIT IS HERE!!!”, something like that XD
@rin: the store is great and so is the owner
@eu: well the AE86 barely existed in Portugal and was not that famous back in its days, the AE86 Trueno (Panda color) didn’t even leave Japan if I’m correct, so we can’t ask for miracles 😛 . Taking more pictures of the girls… well most of them were busy talking to people who asked stuff about the cars, others weren’t so good looking.
@Abul: I don’t understand a thing of what you’re saying 😀
