shops in Kanto area !

When I was in Tokyo, I went to visit Ueno-san
who drives the world famous Toyota Soarer in the D1GP.
This is his shop called SUI:VAX in Kanagawa.
He is currently working on his new BMW M3 to use
for his competition car in the 2009 D1GP !
One of his daily drive Toyota JZX100 Mark II.
It is soooooooo NICE !!!
I really wish we had these in the States !!!!!
While I was in Kanagawa, I visited Jonny Ito and
Kazu Takahashi at WELD/Xanthic.
Look at that cool little van with WELD graphic !!
Looking down at the shop from the office in the
2nd floor !
And I also took a bullet train to visit "Emperor" Koguchi san
at his shop Koguchi Power in Tochigi.
Here's Koguchi san posing for me !!
(sorry it's blurry...)
We went to dinner at a spaghetti restaurant called
"Apple" near by his shop.
The pasta was very good. It was boiled to perfection
which never happens here.....
And to finish the delicious dinner, we ordered this
super big pudding!
Koguchi san and me both finished it !!!
(with a little help from the girls next door)
I've been eating so much while I was in
Japan, so I might've gained some weight....
Time to do some extreme excercise....hmmm.
