Rezz

I've been passenger in one and I thought the engine was really refined and produced good power all the way to redline (I guess I gave the car the benefit of the doubt being an NA V6). Just a quality car allround, although the one I was in was standard factory 350GT Coupe Premium. Hell I'd get one if I had the spare cash.

Christian thats more like it!!! Fantasic night shots mate

Hahaha lol... sono ue no MESSAGE wo yomu toki, 'henji wa dou iu kana?' to omotta... arigatou drift007

Top pics Christian ... a little small though... you can upload big versions to the SAU gallery if you want?

Hahaha... do you really want to meet her? Her names Atsuko, but she can't really speak English sooo... well if you come to Osaka, sure, I can introduce you Btw, theres an accompanying 3 page story with my Seqential Kobe visit, so all will be revealed about that R32.

Sorry topi, you'll have to visit my new site (in my sig). All I can do now is just give little teaser pics sorry :Oops:

Part 1 of a 2 part series... this is just the tip of the iceberg guys! Yakiniku is GOOD.

Similar things? You mean like parsley, thyme and tea leaves?

Can anyone answer the poor guys request about the radio frequencies? Because I can't...

Swan Valley ha inaka mitai na... demo honto ni kirei to omou. Tokoro de kakkoi kuruma yo

Ashiya no tenki ha kumori yo... chotto samui kedo daijyoubu.

Hai sou yo.

'Engineer wa nani desu ka?' sounds like 'Whats an engineer?'... Actually 'Donna enjinia desu ka?' would be better.

Hehe topi kun honto ni nani wo iitai no?

I'm not studying as such... more just practicing conversation now. Yeah, I live in Ashiya in Hyogo. I don't think it's strange speaking to other gaijin in Japanese *if* you want to practice... such as what we're trying to do in this thread

Ohayo Maiku san. Ima shigoto chuu yo. Kyou shigoto ha 8 ji made yo... mou sude ni tsukareta...

Oooooooi!

Hehehe if that were my car it wouldn't be covered in stickers... although the rest of the car is just about perfect... all I can say is: www.7tuned.com , in February, read all about it and much much more from Japan. Now you why I've been quiet on here recently...

Hmmmm, I think enthusiastic hand gestures are offensive to some Japanese, as is a too strong personality. Not being flexible and wanting thing done 'the western way' is also a major piss off... especially with our Japanese staff! Theres heaps but thats about all that spring to mind now.

Scared... me? lolI basically found all my private students by word of mouth. I never got business cards and handed them out... I always felt that was a bit dodgy. Needless to say at any one time I only had about 6 -7 privates a week, so I had to choose whether to continue with the privates or just give up and join a school... I joined a school (I've met *so* many more people and had so many more offers since I joined the school I work at now).

I haven't had any 1st hand experience with Yakuza... but I've been told many a story about them. In fact, Kobe (where I used to live) is home to the biggest Yakuza clan in Japan - the Yamaguchi-Gumi. They literally 'run' things in Kobe from top level business dealings to low level intimidation.

But as for the general population, getting caught hardly even registers. You just *be careful*, don't go being stupid with it. DaiOni I'm quite suprised you know of English teachers that have been caught... could you tell us what happened? Or how?

Not going against what IG and 'Oni said, but fear of being caught by the authorities just doesn't really bother any of the (Dj's, club owners) guys that I know who regularly smoke. Yes the penalties are harsh, but the chances of getting caught are pretty slim... well unless the club you're at gets randomly raided (which is rare - but happened to 'The Underlounge' here in Osaka just 2 months ago, multiple arrests for possesion) or you're noticebly smoking weed outside or in public view. I'm not saying "it's ok!!!", but just saying that more people talk about the dangers of getting caught with weed than people actually getting caught... or maybe my mates are just really clever about it?

I can... I can pretty much do whatever , whenever on that salary.

Ok I get A$45,000 after tax.
