So your probably wondering why i’ve been so quiet of late, well i’ve been working on something i’m pretty proud of. What started ironically as a photography site around 3 years ago for me has grown into something massive.

It’s weird when you come across someone who reads your blog, let alone likes it and i’ve been inspired to make a real go of things.

Some of you may see this as selling out, i’ve no idea why but my goal has always been clear. Provide honest, meaningful and interesting content from the Japanese car scene in the UK.

So with that i’d like to announce 8J.

8J is the culmination of Dogboxmedia and the beginning of something new and exciting for me. But don’t worry it’ll all be a similar format.

I’m a designer I want to build a brand, mostly inspired by Jay of JDM Ego 8J will be a push by myself to really get where I wanna be with this blog. Ive already had some great feedback from the UK guys, the logo is already rolling round on some of my personal favourite cars over here.

And hopefully i’ll still be able to attend all you guys in the States and beyond.

This blog will eventually be replaced by this but the content won’t disapear, so who’d like a sticker then?
