MM Japan Trip
#1
Mikey and I leave tomorrow for the motherland (of our cars and motorcycles). This weekend we'll be attending the last Japanese GP* at the historic Suzuka Circuit.

After that we'll be spending a day in the old capital of Japan, Kyoto, then onto Tokyo! Hopefully we'll get a chance to visit a tuner shop or two there and we'll be taking a day trip to the Honda Collection Hall where examples of Honda's racing machinery starting from the late 50's resides.

Finally we'll be heading South to watch Round 8 of the SuperGT championship. I was able to get a press credential for this so who knows, maybe I'll be able to get an interview or some kool pics.

I don't know if we'll be able to post pics while we're out there but we'll keep you updated 8)

*Toyota paid Bernie Ecclestone a boatload of money so that they'd have the Japan GP at Fuji circuit(which Toyota owns) for the next couple of years.

Just go to any of the Super Autobacs and immerse yourselves in all things automotive performance.

Also, could you go here and take pics for me? I missed it (if you can)

it was pretty neat to see, but its no different than an walmart sized autozone. they did have cool little toys though, which i brought back for many of you last year, but everything was pretty expensive.

The only things I know about Japan is from tasteless dating sims and Final Fantasy.

All I really remember is a japanese girl that could tell I was going to puke holding the door open for me at a gaspanic! lol...where are you guys staying in Tokyo? We stayed at the Akasaka Prince - hotel from Lost in Translation in the imperial district...trains were easy to figure out though. And check out the "waves of the future" museum or some shit..it was way to the south on the JRL - shouldnt be too hard to find...there was some really cool shit there
