Never going to take this country for granted.. very.. how can I say this? Dense there!

Long parking space.

Scary parking space.

hansvonaxion · January 7th, 2008, 12:58 PM

Lotus garage.

Vette.

Audi building near Harajuku.

hansvonaxion · January 7th, 2008, 1:01 PM

Saw these guys at a highway rest stop.
(I just needed to use the bathroom, I swear)

I have a question (I'll make it "shitsumon ga arimasu" if it's better

):

I think it eliminates the blind spot, but I really don't know.

hansvonaxion · January 8th, 2008, 1:52 PM

It isnt a fourth mirror, just the regular passenger side mirror placed further forward. I would say it gives a bigger view and the driver can see it through the windscreen - this would reduce the risk of it being blocked by a passenger and means the driver doesn't have to turn his head/take eyes off the road as much. You only really see them on taxis now, but there were some cars that had them, even European ones.

Just came back from japan so here are some relevant pics.

Yes that's me, the gaijin in the GTR. Notice the shit-eating grin. That car is officially awesome.

Horrid bodykit

Daihatsu Naked

GTR R34

Autozam Something

Tommy Makkinen Evo 6

The van we rode around in in Kyoto and nara, An alphard hybrid driven by a japanese man who talked like yoda.

Subie STI

Legnum VR4

Old roller with 300SL next to it. Had a pic of that, but It got deleted.

Phantom

hansvonaxion · January 9th, 2008, 1:32 AM

Cool, thanks for the pics.
Was the GTR at a car show or just a random display?

Jacobfox · January 9th, 2008, 1:46 AM

It was at an event in Odaiba at the Fuji TV building called odaiba hot fantasy. My dad just wanted to see the architecture but I got to see the GTR.

I also saw one in Kyoto on the road. Didn't have my cam handy. Also saw a 430 in Roppongi, but had no cam.

BlaRo · January 9th, 2008, 1:54 AM

Stuff the Phantom, I'm more interested in the Triumph Bonneville with the dual pea-shooter exhausts in front of it!

hansvonaxion · January 12th, 2008, 4:56 AM

OK, a few more.
I'll try posting less per post to cut down on page loading times.

Another wonder of parking

hansvonaxion · January 12th, 2008, 4:57 AM

Are these things sold overseas?

And now for something completely different

hansvonaxion · January 12th, 2008, 4:58 AM

Bentley

And Lincoln Town Car

hansvonaxion · January 12th, 2008, 5:03 AM

I like this trike

SCooter

hansvonaxion · January 12th, 2008, 5:05 AM

powah · January 12th, 2008, 5:25 AM

First of all, awesome pics of Japan!! Arigatou!!

And for the Mitsu, I think Canada is going to have a few coming in a year or two's time. I saw it on TV a while ago, and the CEO of Mitusbishi Canada was saying that some of the smaller Japanese cars would be converted to left hand drive for use in North America, specifically Canada first because it's a smaller market to test new products.

Fifth Gear reviewed that, so I'd say yes...
