Thumbs up 2011 tokyo auto salon

For those that I invited, but could not attend...

I went on Saturday and it was packed! The first two pics show about 1/3rd of the 1st Hall. There were 8 halls total and then things outside and in the event hall. With there being so many people in tight spaces, I wasn't able to take the best pics...

The usual site around RX-7s...







He had a D1 badge on, but not sure if Mr. Amemiya was actually participating or not.

Japanese will pimp any ride...




Junction Produce had one of the largest sections and some nice looking cars and women. I couldn't get anywhere near the middle when all the women were out there.

So Charlie, did Michael ever make it out there? i know there's a thread bout him missing and all...we spoke of it only once after SevenStock about going to J-land for this with him and Gene but haven't heard from him since. this trip sorta fell through the cracks.

btw, thanks for the pix.
