Tokyo - Friday night

[stevec]

Fantastic looking metallic blue - not a scratch - cool alloys - VR spoiler - cockpit full of blue lit gauges. Was tempted to run after it and find out how long before it went to an export yard!!!

What you at in Tokyo stevec? Meant to visit when I was in China last year but never got around to it. Is there much in the way of fast machines on the road generally?

Being there myself a couple of times - its a Jap petrolhead heaven but I didn't see many FTO's while there - you do get to see a lot of new machines months before the Euro release though - saw some nice skylines,NSX's and modded 350Z's and RX8's - plenty of the usual evo and scooby fare as well. Some of the Jap taste is very questionable though.

Theres also a lot of dross about there as well - heaps of gammy looking big Toyotas and Nissans that would never sell in Europe. If your going - bring plenty of dosh - its the most expensive city by far I've ever visited.

Was there for work - didn't get any time to go looking at cars & did all getting around on trains (fantastic 250kph system) so only spotted 2 in the time I was there. One silver - nothing special and the gorgeous blue one!

Yeah 90% of traffic is made up from either toyota crown taxis or those horrible shoe box shaped things (like a mini SUV) that seem to be built to fit into the "standard" parking space with mm to spare.

You got that right - nearly as expensive as Dublin LOL.
