Official SAU Tokyo Auto Salon Contingent...


Recommended Posts

Alright lads, who`s going???

I wanna sort this out so it`s done right...

1) Assign a rally point outside JR Kaihin-Makuhari Station.

2) Have a plan of attack so that (if need be) we can get through all the important stands and displays on the Saturday.

3) Assign group leaders (with phones) who can contact each other if we get split up - if theres enough people going that is...

4) Get lagered...

5) Have a "most candid Campaign girl photo" competition... with prizes :D

6) Go up Tokyo Tower and on the Sunday for those that will stay overnight.

Anybody up for a little Auto Salon action? I know you are Dave!!!

Gents!

myself and 5 others will be in japan from the 1st January through to the 11th, planning on going to TAS on the 10th.

will there be an opportunity to meet up before TAS? dinner? catchup? ropongi? :rolleyes:

we are staying at the Sumisho hotel near Tokyo Central Station is that close to any of you guys?

Can you hire mobile phones from Narita Airport?

The problem for us is that we have 6 in our group. We have 1 contact over there who has an awesome chaser drift car and he said he was going to take us drifting and to the daikoku carpark and freeway runs, but we won't all be able to fit in his car!

Frankie - how about we co-ordinate a meeting spot on the 10th outside the convention centre?

We are staying in Chiba at the New Tsukamoto hotel so we are closer to TAS that you guys as I understand it.

Franky, we have to definatly meet up in japan. Mobile phone rental might be an idea, I shall have my aussie one with me so whilst its expensive to call we could SMS! hehe.

yeah warm clothes, thats a thought eh.

come on man :rolleyes: GSM wont work in Japan! your Oz phone will be useless over there i believe?

nick, i've sent yang this thread, he knows spots around the convention centre so between rezz & yang we should be able to meet, as for you guys :( well ... just look for tourists like us :(:) :) hrm, maybe we should all get SAU shirts and wear them on the day :)

I'll be there with a few of the J-Spec guys... providing that I get my tickets changed from the 15th to the 5th... (yes I found out that I was goin on hols to Japan a week after autosalon, so I figgered I'd kill2 birds with 1 stone)

Alright! Sounds like we`ve got a contingent going...

Franks: You say you`ve got 6 guys coming?

Blitz: PM sent mate, sorry. You`ve got 6 coming too.

Plus Funkymonkey with the "J-Spec" guys... (how many Funkymonkey?)

...and of course me and Demon Dave and our wives...

Thats about 20 people?

Two groups of 10? I have a feeling the J-Sec guys won`t want to join our group though?

god knows how many with j-spec... they've got their own posse up there apparently, coz they have their agents n suppliers n all that acting as tour guide takin em to all the garages, drift comps and autosalon. I was thinkin of taggin along with them, but I'd be more than happy to meet up with you guys.

Thats cool Funky, whatever suits you best. I wouldn`t mind meeting the J-Spec guys anyway.

Theres also 3 or 4 other guys that might be coming along with me, but they`re only tentatively booked.

    • 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!
