I study on plane while waiting 17hours to get here. it is a great language and very few words gets you around, no translator. although, stephen from skay, ltd. is from new zeland and speaks fluent english so he helps out if needed

Well, just post up pics or vids of when you hit up the mountain passes

Hey guys.....Genki Desuka?? everyone doing well i hope!!
Well today's plans are until 12pm will work over at DS Pro, have a few requests to source out and do pricing for and then whole staff go to lunch. After lunch, Kawabata san will be taking me to his treasure location. Local japanese junk yard. I am very excited to see what this country has in their junk yards. Tonights plans are to hit up mountain passes in Tsuyama city and check out their local meets. Will have camera with so will take butt loads of pics.
1. Good surprise today, when i arrived at driving sports this morning, D1 Gran Prix judge, Kamimoto is at the shop waiting for us to arrive. i met him personally and very cool guy. Check out his ride too....can you say pimpin since pimpin since pimpin....hahaha
2. The japanese like driving small compact mini vans and they are all over. i guess if you see the roads here in tsuyama city, it is so narraow people pull over so you can pass...and its all one way roads meaning each lane in one road for people to share....will take more later from city
3. Some of you were asking what wheels are on K-san's S15 so here it is
4. Shinji and Masa at work at DS garage....these guys are awesome. and you should see their skills...amazing
That is all for now, have a few paperwork to do, then off to lunch. see you kids later!!!!

^^ lol J ROK, i just got back from tsuyama's only junkyard here and to be honest...and im going to regret saying this, I didn't see one 180sx, nor S13, nor S14....i did see 1 FC, 1 Hachi which was completely strip to nothing and 2 4 door R32 skylines non turbo. Oh and a R33 4 door non turbo. Everything else was either vans, pickup trucks or really nice VIP style sedans but beat to shit. I guess it wasn't my luck today. I was dissappointed
