MEREMERE DECEMBER 2011 VIDEO
January 10, 2012
WARNING: This video contains 4 minutes of munjis. Watch in HD.
I put this together last night from the day we all went to in December. I still have plenty more footage left that will make it into another style video for those who fizz on small NA cars. Yeah, pretty keen for some actual corners sometime soon. Anyone know if the Hampton skid pad is still as slippery as ice?
ONE MILLION VIEWS
January 8, 2012
I stopped posting daily quite some time ago now and naturally, viewing has slowed up quite a bit. Because of my lack of continuous attention, I managed to miss that BEEONEONEOH had ticked over a million views about a month ago. This blog has been going for over 4 years now and I don’t quite know how that makes me feel. It’s still very much part of my life but all I can say is that I am glad that it hasn’t taken over my life and I have been able to move consistently onto new things, new mediums.
I’d like to say thanks to those who hung around through those times of change and still took interest in the things I posted whether cars, photography or other. Whilst some mainstream monster websites may get about half a million views a week, maybe even a day for all I know, I still consider this quite an achievement. I’m interested to see where this goes and I can say that BEEONEONEOH will continue to exist for as long as I am into cars. Hopefully, between travel overseas in the next few months, I have something to show you as far as Datsuns go in New Zealand. Cheers
KEISUKE’S BIRTHDAY @ MEREMERE JAN2012
January 3, 2012
Why you so happy Keisuke? Is it because you’re drifting your notch after a dope 21st birthday drift session? Yeah I’d say that’s probably it. How about a big mac in your combo there too?
Keisuke, that penis, munches his bigmac in the dying minutes of the day and loves it
Keisuke’s father is over from Japan at the moment and came down for most of the day to get some seat time in. He’s probably over the moon to see the thing actually move after sitting on his property in Japan for 30,000 years
This will be the last meremere day for some time I think. Both Nicks NA6s need a tidy up and in all honesty I am pretty sick and tired of manjis.
NICK’S NA6 – Meremere December 2011
December 30, 2011
More photos of Nick from this December. More here and here
It can be a total ass to try keep photos looking consistent when you shoot over a whole day. Even more so when heavy rain turns into blaring sunshine. I tried but sometimes there are photos you have to put in a set regardless of it not fitting in at all. I’ve converted a bunch of video to begin the painful journey of making a video on this sack of crap laptop. It won’t be up for a while yet as I’m going away however.

KEISUKE @ MEREMERE DECEMBER 2011
December 21, 2011
Here’s some photos of Keisuke doing his thang. I can’t wait to get some time to make the video I have lined up! The 4age burrrrrr keeps repeating in my head after a whole day of it and people are starting to question my insanity when I walk around making 4AGE noises.
MEREMERE IN DECEMBER 2011
December 18, 2011
We went out to a private track day at Meremere yesterday with fingers crossed it wasn’t going to pour down all day. It got a bit wet at times but for the most part it was dry and super fun with only a handful of people on the track at once. Nicks NA6 has seen a tonne of track time lately and it’s starting to show on that front bumper. It’s well overdue for a clean up and for the 1800 to go in but with lots of track days coming up I’m unsure if it will get much attention, this car is for driving.
Keisuke came down with us and with an practically stock 16V it was an almost perfect match for some tandems, although the 4AGE is noticeably faster than the B6. I shot a load of video for Nick over the day so he could see what he looks like driving (no one’s really videoing much lately?) so I will put together a rough edit at some point.
I put down the camera for about 40 minutes in the middle of the day and took the NA6 out on the full track, working on someone else’s cars has its perks! I’m still amazed how fun it is for how little is done, although Keisuke’s 86 is much easier to drift (thanks dude). It took me a while to get used to limiting the speed to keep it sliding but once I did I got smoother fairly quickly and it felt much less forced. Nick’s getting a lot better with all the seat time and had full track manjis pretty locked by the end of the day. A little more power and it’ll be able to comfortably do the hairpin and link it with the rest of the track.
The drift area is actually the braking area of a drag strip and having only one corner can get kinda boring near the end of the day. To have a bit of fun I was pushing Keisuke and Nick to sit on full lock as they passed me for a few BILSPEER propaganda shots and they came out pretty cool.
Somehow I still managed to shoot way to much out there so there is still lots to come. I can’t wait to be driving instead so I don’t have to go through 18GB of media. Currently working as much as I can to afford the next stage of the build as well as a surf trip in February. Stay tuned.
