Oh man, my budget won't allow me to do something like for a few more months. I was in Japan twice in the last six months, and I absolutely love the country. I'd love (and I mean LOVE) to go, but I'll have to reluctantly pass.

Is anyone who's going planning on shipping their S2000 there? How about a track day at Suzuka?

Who is going from Europe? I'd love to do it... Do we enrol somewhere, or just turn up ?

Sondra, I need to find out if the Tokyo Dome Hotel has a Hospitality Suite. Glad you can make it. I'm sure we'll both have our hands full keeping Gregg out of trouble with our hosts.

Luis, you've got a PM.

Greg,
Welcome aboard (abroad?). As our S2KCA Prez, I'll let you hand the pic of the "money shot" to the plant folks. No, not that shot. The legitimate one.

Finally, something NEW to be thinking about 24/7.

-John

I figure if I pull a McCartney in customs, I'll be off your hands for the rest of the trip.

The big question we're all wondering now is.....

I went on a plant tour of the Southern Chicago Ford plant last summer - they make Taurus's and Sables there. They stressed no flash photography because the flash would screw up the electric eyes of the assembly robots. I had my Olympus Digital Camera with me , and confirmed that if I set it for flash-free operation that I could take pictures - to my surprise they allowed it !!

However - I was given a caveat - they told me that IF while I was taking photos the flash on my camera just happened to go off - and IF this then caused the entire Ford assembly line to shut down - thereby idling the hundreds of people that worked there in one of the largest Sq. foot buildings in the world - that I "had just better run...."

I took many many photos -- no flash, no errors, no runs.

It would be GREAT if Honda let our visitors take pictures !!!

If they will let me take flash-free pics, I will... and I'll mask the flash just to be on the safe side too!
