One for the road.... Tokyo Auto Salon 2012

Headed up to Makuhari Messe in Chiba today to attend my last TAS. I haven't been in years, but since I'm leaving I figured I should. Had good time. Got to watch Kunny, Tezuka, Hirota, and Tokita (D1GP Team GOODYEAR) do a drift exhibition. It was pretty bad ass. Took pics w/ D1 drivers, drooled over cars, collected pamphlets and catalogs, bout trinkets that cost WAY too much... why? BECAUSE CAR SHOW (that was for Slappy haha)... I had a geat time w/ great fiends though. I don't have many pics of the show because my phone died after I'd been there only 2 hours haha. Enjoy!

Kunny taking a pic of his car haha

My spoils for the day

Happy Thanksgiving...

Hello all. I've been slacking on the updates I know. Kinda emo about the whole leaving japan thing (even though its my choice). This is probably the last pic of the Cresta before it gets torn down/sold. Also included is a pic of Banks' new toy. For everyone who observes Thanksgiving, I hope you have a wonderful day. Stay safe.

JZ Meeting 2011.....PT 2

JZ Meeting 2011.....PT 1

So Jeremy and I have been trying to drive in this event for like 3 years now. Finally this year I talked to Alexi , and found out how to sign up. Since signing up I went to an event at Fuji Drift Park and broke my car, then had one month to get it back together for JZ meeting. Some of you may know that I'm leaving soon, so finding the motivation to work on the car was pretty hard. I got a push in the right direction when I went to Mobara with Brian from Panda Pirates. Riding along and having a ton of fun w/ him, I realized I couldn't leave w/out getting back out there again. All that being said, I was able to get the car back on the road. to attend and drive at 2011 JZ Meeting held by ST. Garage. Here are some pics from the event.
