Default My pics from Honda heaven...

Just got back from my trip to Tokyo and Taipei and while in Tokyo, I finally made the trek to Twin Ring Motegi and the Honda Collection Hall. I left at 6am from Shinjuku and had to train hop with the bullet train finally landing me in Utsunomiya, where I then got on a bus to a stop near Twin Ring and took a taxi into Honda heaven and arrived at around 10:30:

















Definitely a very memorable experience! The visit made me even prouder to be a Honda fan. The history contained within the building was incredible! It was a pain to get there, but well worth the long trip. I ended up taking a taxi out of Honda Collection Hall to the train station to save time although it cost about $100.

Rest of the pictures are here:

Wow. Outstanding report and even better photos! It looks like you pretty much had the entire place to yourself. That made for some wonderful photos. Thanks so much for posting.

No S2000? Or did I miss it. There had to be one.

4-1/2 hours to get there! Approximately how many miles was it?

Are you referring to #11, Ginther's car? Or the one that's going to win this Sunday in Canada?

BTW, I would love to get one of the posters shown at the gift shop with the early F1 cars on it. I just love that early stuff.

HOLY SHIT!
Amazing pics, that you so much for sharing.

What the heck is this, an S800 GT?


An amazing look at how far the cars/technology has come. Just don't ask me which one I would prefer to get a chance to drive.


Oh, and matrix, see, Honda even knew the proper color for a sports car back in the S600/S800 days.
