Each January a classic car show is held in Odaiba ( Tokyo Bay area). There is a good mix of Japanese and European cars from the 50s through to the 80s. As is often the case, the car park is just as interesting as the show. Here are some cars from this year.

The final shot was taken from the Fuji TV building and you can see a line of tents which housed the trade stalls.

Every year I have attended there have been cars on display from the Nissan, Honda, Mazda and Toyota collections.

It's only a short train trip down to Yokohama from Tokyo and it's well worth the visit.

There are some very impressive Western style buildings which are open to the public. Just a short walk away is a well known tin toy museum.

It seems obligatory to post photos of your lunch and dinner on this forum. Now I don't feel like such a dumb tourist for taking them.

Here are some more shots from the Japanese Classic Car Association's display.

There aren't too many Nissans here this time. I'll go back through my photos from previous years for more of those.

In Shinjuku there is a really interesting store called Tokyu Hands. It's at the southern end of the station and is attached to the Takashimaya dept store. Nice hair-piece: read the instructions.

Yummy donuts at Mr Donut and pretty good coffee at Doutor.

I've been to a cake store in a Multive levels shopping center at Osaka, really early in the morning too. It caught my attention when i saw the amount of Japanese lining up so i though damn, this has to good and i joined the queue. Turned out the cakes was freshly bake, nice coffee and the best thing is you can lit a cigi right after that, in house.

The coffee, cakes and pastries in Japan are as good as I've had anywhere. And cheap, too. The coffee is usually under $2.

Apart from the novelty, I can't understand why so many people want to queue at this place:post-44367-1215143603_thumb.jpg

This branch has been open in Shinjuku for over a year and I've seen waiting times of more than an hour.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
