Default Tokyo Auto Salon

Hi everyone,

I was wondering who is seriously planning on going to the Tokyo Auto Salon (Jan. 11-12) this year? I'm really considering making the trip, since I missed SEMA, I must overcompensate.

If you give me a free place to stay and are able to carry on conversations in Japanese, then you can join me. Great deal, eh?!!

If you are interested in going to the Tokyo Auto Salon, you should consider the HKS / Super Street Magazine Auto Salon tour. Its a great package and you will be with others that share the same interest. you can find out more about it here: www.hksusa.com

Just click the Tokyo Auto Salon Tour Link.

Forget the auto salon! You can see the same cars in action (racing on the streets) January 1st (New Year) they will be racing at Tokyo bay! Its usually the first 3 days in January. Police dont do nothing but direct traffic! If you love cars its the place to be! All the race shops pull their race cars off of trailers and race them on the street. I know, i lived in japan for 14 years!

Very tempting. Should I skip the first week of the school in exchange of the auto salon show?

I would love to go this year but that just isn't going to happen. I hope I will be able to go next year (2003).

Globe,

Alright if school is more important, than I'm taking your grandma!!

RacingAristo,

1 week of school isn't all that important, you just get your syllabus and that's it. Now think, syllabus vs. aristo, racing queens, etc...
