Yeah I love the new colour. Looks brilliant.

Think I’m done S Type was particularly random, as was the Europa! Included the Kei Daihatsu van as they/generic mini-fridges are everywhere. I really want a Century.

And some more…

A few more odds and sods from Japan. Kyoto this time:

Remember the poetry thread?🤣🤣

CSS 2012. @welshname had bought my old ZS from the fella I’d sold it to so was cool to have both cars together. It’s amazing how Rhys’s style would go on to influence 1000’s of Just Stop Oil protesters 10 years later. Also amazing how we had Lamar from Kajagoogoo turn up.

The Megane on 182 wheels and low profile tyres is up there for me. And the 182 with diesel exhaust tips. Spinksy @davo172 ’a giant WhatsApp group’ absolutely nails it!

I’ve met lifelong mates from here. Ffs, my most active WhatsApp group is one set up with a few on here 10 years ago! @Scrooge is one of my best mates and was usher (peace up, A town down etc) at my wedding. Class place.

Oh, forgot to mention, it turns out the Supra is exactly the same one that @Fantastic Nostrils hired a few years ago! Chances of seeing that?!🤣

Followed by some more (the Hakosuka is another bingo point I reckon)

Moving on from Tokyo to the mountains I assumed car spotting was over-ish. Had this lot drive past today:

I also thought Chaser/Cresta/something Toyota but not sure. Jzx90 looks right though! No other pics as the majority of the time I’m just snapping while walking, with Mrs Hixle tutting.

Not really. Its nice to know a few words and phrases as it’s really appreciated, and I’ll be bowing to people for weeks to come, but as @ForceIndia says the translator app is a godsend. In restaurants most food has pictures next to it on the menu, so knowing ‘I would like this please’ and...

It’s an amazing country. Tokyo is chaotic. I loved every minute there but it’s very full on. Left there today for a few days in the mountains, then off to Kyoto and then Osaka. The cars are cool, but the food is outrageous, and I love the nuances in custom here. Highly recommend.
