West, I will be there in January as well for Autosalon and it seems there will be a number of others there also - There is no shortage of things to get up to while you are there so dont worry :laugh:

PM ya'! Awaiting for reply, should i start booking my tickets now as i assume price would be different now than peak season?

Should i consult a travel agent to see if they can put together a package or just do everything by myself? I'm thinking of stoping by SHANGHAI for a few days as well.

Well West I went to flight centre, I took some prices in with me and realise they charge around 8% commision on everything which includes easy to get stuff such as JR passes, but then again I prefer an agent to do it that way if something goes wrong I have them to fall back on (ie demand a refund).

They organised car hire in hokkaido, accomodation in sapporo and return flights etc fairly easily, I hear that it gets pretty busy and accomadation can be streched out after november with alot of people heading up there

I want to go to TAS and explore a bit but really need to make sure I can do the trip with only 5K (this has to include airfares as well.

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
