    Cool REV9 Japan Trip ロードスター LIFE

    Konichiwa everyone!

    I'm leaving in a few hours for a trip to Japan. Going at Tokyo Auto Salon to see what's new for 2014 and visit some Roadster and Rotary shops!

    I'm starting this thread that I'll try to update every day with pictures and what happened.

    To give you a teaser, DAY 1 (09-01) is to go to the Japan RWB Porsche Meeting.

    I strongly suggest to SUBSCRIBE to this thread for updates and Follow us on Facebook if you want to have live updates.

    See you later °°°°

    Max, can you pick up a bunch of car club stickers from Japan. I'll totally buy bunches of them from you.

    I have an obsession with sticker collecting.

    This is gonna be an awesome experience for you!!! You are gonna be so exhausted when you come back, but every hardcore car nut needs to experience this event at least once in there lifetime, pictures and words cannot describe how incredible this show really is !!! Once you attend this event the rest of the car shows around the world will seem like a joke.

    please update us with pics along the way!!

    That 11 hour flight to Japan is fun for about the first 2 hours, after that you will want to punch this screen every time they show your in flight status

    see you in the Japanese future time zone!

    Yeah, I guess sometimes traveling at 600mph just isn't fast enough. If you know what I mean... LOL

    DAY 1 : LANDING + RWB

    Sorry for sending this late, but I didn't have any more energy yesterday (ask me why lol).

    So to begin the customs have a new machine asking you to take a selfie, here's mine:



    Then, one thing to remember in Japan is to always carry some CASH, otherwise you're in trouble;


    ^^ this is worth like $10

    So I've tested the Japan Airlines service, what can I say, it's perfect and nothing was charges EXTRA:








    The only negative comment I would have is that I asked for a Sapporo and got this:


    But, to compensate, the view was legendary


    At one point you have to escape the awesome of being in that plane with full of cute flight attendants and get to Japan!


    You see funky drinks:


    Baby holders in toilets:


    Special toilets which I wonder what it looks like when used:


    And not-toilets into toilets space (I'm still at the airport):


    More to follow...

    DAY 1 (continued) : RWB

    So when I leave the bus, I arrive at Hyatt and see this car lineup, so classy:


    Then I went to RWB meeting. I won't post descriptions as I let you think whatever you want about the cars, but they were tastefully done and it was real quality work with tons of details.

    Towing Queen:








































    Talk about some lip...


    This one was so non-RWB but so NICE!


    Other cars what were there:




    Day 2 (TOKYO AUTO SALON 2014) pictures soon!

    Problem is I have my hands FULL and taking photos with cell phone, and cars are like really close to each other, so I try to take as much of every car as possible and that's the only angle that actually works.
