Although saying that I had EXCELLENT company and I am forever grateful for that.

See how it goes next time

I recommend anyone to take the trip. Doesn't have to be a perfectly planned drifters holiday just go check the place out and hold back the dreams cause you will probs find your own anyways

"Excelent company" was it an automission tour or something?

I was just looking at everything in awe,
going to a restraunt/bar and paying a guy to drive the car home is one of the best ideas as well.
What dates were you there tom?

**serious tom** · 09-12-12, 23:32

I had a unique set up, looked after well.
could do anything I wanted

Was there from the 9th august - 2nd September.
Where are you man?

**paulr5** · 10-12-12, 05:33

Just Tokyo and Fukushima, did all i wanted bar disney land was gutted!! be back soon, ah just curious paths didn't cross, you must of been on track by the sounds of things? I had it in my head to go on my way to oz but job fell trough and then pt_2K did a write up on ebisu, booked a flight the following week.

Where did you stay?
Did you get a chance to meet the man, the myth, the legend Alexi smith?

Na, I just did this, and then another night did 280kmph on the Aqualine in a R35 GTR. Two highlights of the trip.
Went to Tsukuba Drift Muscle and then took a trip to Ebisu. Got out on Minami as a passo.
Hit up Daiko Futo in the MCR Tuned GTR.

Who did you have as a guide just you keep saying unique setup?

Its amazing what you can manage to see out there with absolutely no forward planning.. We got driven around the C1 loop in a 33 GTR to all the racers stops, chauffered to autobacs in a BMW X5 by some randon New Zealand dude and then brougnt to the tokyo auctions..

This all from knowing no one out there and just winging it ha ha
Great place will be back again later this year

The person who gave me this opportunity was quite the dude, he provided me with a lot and this was the only way I could have managed it.
I was an international driving license away from driving the new C63 AMG Black C-Class about. Hanging out its sunroof going through roppingi, shibuya and shinjuku watching fireworks was pretty cool.
With out this friend and another I met over there my trip would have been fair different.
