cause I'm in tokyo right now, and I remember there was an english-speaking member from japan on the board a while ago.
No s2000s sightings since my arrival yesterday, lots of skylines and crazy cars and bikes everywhere, though...
I'm gonna search those rubber chains

Did someone call me?

Welcome to Japan, le car!! I live in Japan and have posted threads a couple of times on the board. What part of Japan are you in now? I live far away from Tokyo area, but if we can meet, it will be terrific!

I'm in tokyo, and I'll stay only till monday, so I guess we won't be able to meet (my friends told me Toyama was VERY far from tokyo), but if you know of any cool Honda-related place here, apart from the big honda showroom where I'll go tomorrow, tell me!

dbw, I live close to that place, tell me what's goin on there, "kawaii" japanese girls? mad rock'n roll guys? bike clown warriors? car meetings?...
I'd like to witness those "highway battles" if they do exixt.

Le Car check our Ropongi at night. It's the party part of Tokyo for the non-Japanese. I was in Japan a few weeks ago and saw no Stooks. Also looked over all the magazines and saw no parts or write-up's.

Have a great time. By the way if you want some western food you can visit the Hard Rock in Ropongi.

Hmmm. Just curious but why would a Frenchman in Tokyo want to go out for American food? Seems to me noodles and sushi would be more appropriate. Not sure that a 1/2lb cheeseburger and curly fries offers much of a homey feel.

True, and I hate Roppongi, too many drunk euros and americans out there. They have good video game places there, though, I drove a s2000 on "BattleGear 2", quite well rendered, but not as fun as horse riding or train driving games...

dbw,
I'm in Yoyogi-Hachiman, behind the Yoyogi park (where crazy rock'n rollers dance on sundays).
Yesterday I went surfing in a wave pool with a guy whose friend works as a mechanic for Mugen on racing s2000's, but his english was so bad that I couldn't ask him more info...
