Title: Screamin' Wheels, Tokyo
Post by: Mikku on May 13, 2016, 01:56 PM

One of my favourite old school haunts is Screamin’ Wheels, a shop based in Naka-Meguro, Tokyo. You’ll be able to read more about the shop and its owner in the upcoming edition of Rad Rag, but to whet your appetite, here’s a bunch of photos that I took on a visit there the other weekend.

Looks more like a museum than a shop.
I guess he is kind of living the dream,I often wonder how people make a living out of niche shops like this.
I have always wanted to own a second hand record shop,but I wonder how I would make the consistent money every week that I do in the job I have now.
Great place though would love to visit !!

Yeah, they sell stuff both in the shop and online, though you'll need deep pockets for the old school goodies! That Kuwi was a special paintjob to match the owner's car:-

Cool pics, and it looks like a great place. I was wondering if they actually sold stuff, and how they manage to survive. I love places like these  :daumenhoch:

Great post Mick. It's an amazing looking place. I've sent a few Japanese parts his way in the past. Unfortunately buying from Japan is an expensive business :/
