Something from my visit in Japan.

One of parking types in Japan.


There are plenty of GTRs in Tokyo.



Rolls.


F1 car in Toyota Amlux showroom.



Classic japanese design.


Another F1 car (2008 model) in MegaWeb.


Toyota LeMans car from the museum in Odaiba.


The first Nissan GTR.


De Lorean. Oh I love this crappy car.


Old Dino.


The car which goes without driver.


Tokyo streets by night.


GTR showroom.


NSX, one of my japanese favourites.


Mitsuoka Viewt.


As you can see on the back door this is Daihatsu Naked.


Mitsuoka Galue.


And view from the back.


If you like them I have some more from that museum. Also I have some cars spotted on the streets on my mobile phone.

It's astonishing how such a design method can legally exist in a modern country these days.

Anyway, keep these coming, and this thread alive. It's one of the threads over here at FG I follow religiously.

@settler: loved the pics, post more, please.

That weird looking grey car looks really weird but funny too. Anyone know the brand and model?

BTW, love the Mitsuoka's cars.

I am hooked on this thread. I just can't stop looking at it, scrolling up and down, re-visiting previous pages.

This would be great material for some low-budget coffee-table book.

Yup, Toyoto WiLL Vi the ugliest version of WiLL. And if you mentioned, guy driving that car was about 70 years old.

So some more pictures.

From Amlux. As I remember this one is from 2006 season.



Something from the V10 time.


MegaWeb is Toyota showroom and museum in Odaiba, Tokyo.


Supra.



And once more 2008 F1 Toyota.



Brakes from the F1 car.


Some hideous concepts.



The white car in the middle is the first Wankle powered sport Mazda (named Cosmo).


Celica rally car.


Auriol's Corolla.


Toyota F1 car from their first season in F1.


The BMW poweeeer.


Alfa Sipder.


Toyota 2000GT. This is actually good looking japanese car.


The E-type Jag.


Back of the Dino.


Porsche 356.


Old, muscle-car-look Celica.


Mazda Carol. Japan providing the best engineered and worst looking cars since a long time.


Messerschmitt KR175. They were better with planes than cars.


There will be just a couple more from my mobile.

You can have a test drive in one of about 20-30 Toyota there at closed route aroud the building. But you need an international driving licence (this big book one) or japanese one. Unfortunately they don't accept EU licence. At least there are fantastic simulators, great fun.
