M3gtr's Tas.

[m3gtr]

T.A.S was amazing this year. The quality and depth of the show in terms of cars, girls and presentation was awesome. i personally though it was much better overall than last year.

2 full days would be ideal at an event like this but i only had sunday. Poida and I met a friend of ours and had an absolute balst.

Here are some pics..

ENJOY!

I was a bit let down. could have gone for 3 days but instead just went on friday morning and stayed till about 2pm (was packed from 1 onwards as general admission starts at 1).

I really think it gets a bit less every year.

I must agree... Auto-Salon is always a good show (in Japan) but for the past three years that ive gone, i have to say there seems to be a trend of it going down each time. This year (and last) companies like Veilside didn't show.. A lot of companies who were there last year also didn't come this year and a lot of those who came last year put the same cars up on display.. It's a little disappointing to say none the less, but Auto-salon will always be auto-salon. I hope that some of the big makers start to release some good sports cars in the future, otherwise the Salon will continue to get less and less interesting.. I have more to say, but i'll say it when i post my own pics up later today or tomorrow..

Errr..... Theres only one photo..

check the general automotive discussion thread pete.

you got internet hooked up at home again..or you pilfering from work?

[Beer Baron]

yes, I was thinking a lot of the mediocre cars from last year were back again, but some of the good cars that I would have liked to see again (MCR GTR, Kagotani GTR, Saurus GTR, Sunline GTR) weren't there. I'm sure those cars would have been further developed and I would like to see it.

I think a lot of the tuning companies are starting to feel the pinch a bit and can no longer justify the $$$ to wheel out the big cars year after year.

make no mistake though. If you put it on it's own it was still an awesome show. It's just that I can't help but compare it to previous years.

i guess its like autosalon over here, once u go one year, u tend to see alot of the same things, i reckon if u went every 3 years it would be better.
