Ok, I'll add a few myself...

Some buddies and I went to a Yakult Swallows baseball game a few weeks back, and when we got to our seats, this is what we saw in the row next to us. (FYI - The guy woke up, but only about an hour after the game started.)

Not too rare but still interesting to see: An Autozam Mazda AZ1 in the carpark at Tokyo Auto Salon 2007.

I live near Mr Mt Fuji. Someone buy me a camera and I'll take some good shots. Until you do, you'll have to be satisfied with shots from my phone.

Just some pics I found in my photo file...

This is Honda's 'TORABAI' (Trunk Bike). It was designed basically as 'the worlds first simeltaneously designed car (1982 Honda City) and bike (Torabai) combination. The whole idea was that the 'trunk' of the Honda City was the 'Garage' for the bike... ie: it doesn't take up any space. The Torabai could be brought as a stand alone bike, or as a 'CAR-SET IN' (Torabai + Honda City) or in other words, a Happy Meal with bonus toy. The Honda City was pretty small as it was (the whole rear of the City was designed to accomodate the bike), having a bonus mini bike in the back for those romantic excapades down a deserted beach just made the whole package unbeatable. The Torabai had a 50cc 2-stroke engine which put out 2.5hp, just 64.5hp short of it's rolling garage home, with a 70.0km/1L fuel consumption.

Rezz-

Those aren't men--that's Madness! What? You don't remember that crazy English ska-pop group that had a few minor hits ("One Step Beyond" and "Our House") in the early 80's? I'm seriously disappointed in your lack of trivial 80's knowledge. :(:wave:

Kobe Gakuin Uni Port Island campus.

...and another of the Uni's 'Harbour Wing'. It was only just completed earlier this year.

Portopia Hotel. When you read the English sign, you think 'Por-TOE-pee-uh', as in 'Utopia'... but the locals say 'Poooooorto-PEE-ah' which actually was supposed to mean 'Port Pier'... there was an Expo called 'Portopia '81' held as a grand opening of the island in 1981 hence the name, but any remnants of that are long gone and has made way for an extention to the island itself so yeah, it's in name only now.

All pics were taken with my Sharp 910SH mobile phone.

Anyone who uploaded attachments or linked from the SAU gallery should re-upload them if they want to see them again... I was told the problem was being worked on but I wouldn't hold out for it anytime soon.

The two guys in the mural on the wall in the last pic are Darvish and Otani, both of who play in the MLB, both played for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters team in their pre-MLB days. ESCON filed is the Fighter's home stadium.

There's a micro brewery inside the stadium as well, first time I saw such a thing... Had a beer then was told it was made right over there -->

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
