Bittersweet moment today…
Saying goodbye to my rare 1998 Alpina B10 V8 🖤

This wasn’t just another car — this was one of those once-in-a-lifetime builds. Hand-finished Alpina craftsmanship, subtle looks, and serious performance… a true enthusiast’s machine.

But I couldn’t have asked for a better new home.

The B10 is now in the hands of Wayne R. Dempsey — co-founder of Pelican Parts, a company he literally started in his garage back in the late ‘90s, which has since become one of the most respected names in the European car world.

Not only that, he’s also the author of some of the most well-known Porsche technical books and a true lifelong enthusiast with a deep appreciation for engineering and analog driving experiences.

So while it’s tough watching this car leave… I know it’s going to someone who truly gets it.

Still doesn’t feel real seeing it go… but I know it’s in the right hands 🙏

🎥 Full story, walkaround, and ownership experience dropping soon on my YouTube — Adam JDM
Trust me… you’re gonna want to see this one.

That same C5 from Hikone… and the owner Nori messaged me after seeing the video 🙌🇯🇵

This thing is seriously one of the cleanest C5 Corvettes I’ve seen in Japan. It’s running the Z51 package and you can tell this car was built to perform — not just sit pretty.

Those aggressive fender flares, the fitment, the stance… everything is dialed in perfectly. Nori absolutely nailed the build.

If you’re into properly built American cars in Japan, go follow his page and show him some love 🔥

Next time I’m back in Japan, we’re doing a full in-depth review of this car 🇯🇵🎥

Is the C5 Z51 the best bang-for-buck Corvette? Vote below!

Wow, 2025 about to end, here are a few highlights from the year (can't fit nearly anything in just 20 pics, so more to come)!

15+ countries, 15+ states, 3 movies completed, and a dozen cars from my collection sold... Wow, it was busy but always fun and an adventure!

Here's to 2026 being even better, God willing, may you all succeed in chasing your dreams and have a blast doing it!

I'm going to really miss this one... My R33 is on to its new home! I know it's in good hands, Sevag and his dad are going to really take care of this JDM legend, keep your eyes peeled on this one!!

What an amazing Legends of the Autobahn West 2025 we had this year! Big thanks to the Bonvensiepen family and the crew from Buchloe for coming over and supporting the Alpina Classic community; what a blast it was to see a family-run business still supporting their customers on a personal level! Also thanks to Robert and Dave for organizing all the logistics for setting it all up; you guys are awesome.

And tons of other awesome cars throughout the show. Looking forward to attending next year, just need to decide on which Alpina to bring then...

What an honor it was to meet and speak with Alpina CEO and owner, Andy Bonvensiepen! I was honored he signed my 1997 Alpina B3 3.2; truly a priceless memory.

This was just the first day of Car Week, stay tuned for massive photo and video posting on the days to come, including my interview with Mr. Bonvensiepen!

Here with my new friend Junichi and his dope modified VW New Beetle! Never seen one like this, only in Japan!

Check out his all natural dog treat store when you're up in Sapporo!
