I'm up for a few games of pool - I used to be quite good, and had a habbit of cleaning up the table, sinking several balls in a row (which BTW earned me the nickname: Demon Dave :mad:)

but in retrospect it was probably more luck than anything else. :)

I haven't played in years though...never even seen a table in Japan!

They better have the mix nuts.
Yeah, they better! What kind of pool hall runs out of mixed nuts??? Jeez...

Btw, we went to a pool hall in Nishinomiya somewhere, and parked at a "24 Times" parking lot, where we happened upon this:

Z10 Nissan Cube, completely standard apart from those stickers... :headspin:

Yeah Kei-cars or tallboy wagons seem to like a mild dose of sticker-tune. My neighbour's black 98 turbo Move used to have a HKS sticker on the back window and other various sticker-tune...but I don't say much because he gives me free window wiper blades, coolant, etc from work (aftermarket/OEM parts supplier to makers). He's also a nice guy who is still saving to buy a nice car, being young and married ain't easy.

Also Justin will attempt again this Friday to prove his ghey shots will win over my powershots...I will have some photo evidence where possible :rolleyes:

Yeah.. ok. But this time I'll have a team of Japanese girlies cheering me on ;)

Justin how you getting there tomorrow? If your not riding with me, meet at the pool place just after 9pm.

Hankyu Nishinomiya stn, North Exit, keep walking North along the street. You should see the 7-11 on the corner if you remember, and MOS burger is to your left on that coner over a block. Keep walking North another 10 metres and the pool place is to your Right, up the stairs.

:rofl:

Troy for some reason, when I read those directions they sounded just like all the other directions I've ever been given in Japan...

leave this station, go along this street, turn right when you get to a seven eleven...

just re-affirms that once you've been to one Japanese city, you've been to 'em all. :( In actual fact I can picture a place here in Yamanashi that has a similar layout - MOS buger, 7-11 and a (swimming) pool :)

    • New euro in the house for the wifey. Had to make sure it was good enough that I wouldn't mind driving it when needed. Introducing the 2021 JCW flamin mongrelryman. B48 2.0T 225kw 450nm 8spd AWD 0-100 in 5.1. 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's. Not bad. It's a little animal on take off and zippy AF around town. She loves the thing and secretly so do I. Just got to pray to BMW Jesus that it doesn't do too many BMW things. Previous owner looked after it like a newborn. It's, I mean was absolutely unmarked and spotless.     360mm factory rotors with cooling ducts. Wonder if they'll stand up to track abuse...
    • It will happen, give it time. 🫢
    • Decent result Greg, sounds tuff AF👍   When is the Whipple or procharger getting fitted?😉
    • Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range
    • Not just stop start. New modern cars with their stupid "smart" alternators. Even funnier is watching cars when you drop them into eco mode. A lot of them don't crank the alternator up to full charge for very long at all. EVs and how they charge their 12V lead acid battery is even worse! Also, you should never disconnect the battery, on a running car. The voltage spikes can break things. Basically while it's a "battery" it is also considered a "Capacitor" within the charging system, and helps to keep those spikes non existent. Yay for alternators being inductive.
