Ya I did buy some souvenirs...


I'll be back in Toronto soon KenSpeC!

The RE-A guys were super nice! They let me take photos of everything! Since I came all the way from Canada, and acted like a complete dork leg-humping everything I see, they gave me a bunch of posters, autographed calendars, small things here and there for free! Super cool guys for sure!

Now if anyone has any intel on the where their secret location is, THAT'd be a serious trip. They must have several secret R&D locations where they do all design and prototype work, as well as some serious Super GT race car building!

Thanks p4nc7.

Unfortunately, none of the souvenirs are for sale...

I've never paid so much for stickers and keychains, but hey, I was actually THERE! And I carefully packed everything and hand carried them back with me, so they mean a lot to me. Especially the Amemiya San signed rotor.

Sorry man...

here's where RE-Amemiya builds all their prototype cars and race cars:



Here's the full post: ROTARY BUZZ: RE-AMEMIYA'S 20B LOTUS EUROPA - Speedhunters

unfortunately Speedhunters don't say where exactly in Tokyo this shop is, but maybe you can ask them.
