I watched this last night and i couldnt believe who i saw in the vid blocking out all the other photographers as the Gt500 car rolled out!! Why its the Beer baron!

I still cannot for the life of me understand how you managed to get this close to the GT500 car BB...

It boggles my mind.

lol @ the crazy camera toting 6`ft baka gaijin! :D

You SO look like you shouldnt be there! :)

Isn't it time you admitted your true feelings for the Beer Baron Adam?

Im sorry? You wouldnt be insinuating I'm homosexual by any chance now would you? Far be it for someone the caliber of an upstanding man such as yourself, right?

Actually, i quite fancy you nickyboy.

あほ。

lol, I don't mind. I know I'm all that.

and you are right. I look like a bloodnut in those pics. it's that late afternoon fuji sun that does it. I'm not a ginger ninja. I swear.

personally I think I blend in fairly well. I even dutifully stood my ground to get a good possie for like 20 min before it rolled out!

the strange thing is you would think being 6'2" would disuade the much smaller japanese gentleman from pushing me too much, but I have learnt that trying to come between a japanese man with a camera, and something worth shooting is like trying to stop a shinkansen with your hand as it heads into a tunnel. you have a high chance of getting knocked down.

Yep and throw a scantily clad woman into the mix and youve got mayhem stampede.

lol, scantily clad women mean I have to watch where I step as there are usually so many guys laying on the ground for up-skirt that there is a high danger of one of them accidentally copping my size 12 shoe on the back of the head, or even worse on the top of they mega yen canon lense.

just to attempt to keep this on topic (lossing battle I know, and I am guilty). what was the name of the vid? or even better if you could post a pic of it? onegaishimasu I'll send word out for a copy. :D

You can have mine if you want it, beers on you next time youre in town. I can easily get another copy.

Pm me some deets.

Perhaps nick could have helped you out too, except he binned his copy.

Haha dont worry, you blend in marginally better than myself with blonde hair when I was over there :(

The top has got to go.

Is that a disposable camera? I could have sworn you were cranking at a wheel on the thing...

lol, yeah it's one of those throw away jobbies. canon 400d. I was probably adjusting settings with the wheel on the top. :laugh:

and nytsky, hands of the jumper mate! it is a nice jumper! just colours are all a bit weird in that late afternoon sun. I mean fark it's hugo boss. though I must admit it is a bit reminiscent of freddy krugers outfit.

and I guess it's true that troy and I were separated at birth. all this time I was a bloodnut and never knew it. it took japanese technology to show my inner ginger. :D

Ohhhhh, its Hugo Boss so that makes it alright then! No. It doesnt and yes it DOES look exactly like freddies top.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
