[NismoGirl]

*rubs eyes*

I'm not used to these 8am starts :S

[Ed G]

which day you going?  I'll depart nagoya at 6/feb

Will I'll be there from 2-9th feb, mostly up the north islands for lots of snowboarding, but venturing down to tokyo/osaka for a few days to check out the car scene (and buy some cheap bits!)

How long are you over for?

[japtaxi]

I'll arrive at nagoya tomorrow night, then first half week is at tokyo for TAS, then off to sapporo to get frostbites for a week. Back to nagoya after that and just relax for the rest of the time. looks like Up Garage stores for 2nd hand stuff is worth a visit, autobacs with retail price are about the same as order stuff from here.

[Ed G]

I will be getting frost bite at Niseko at -18 but in 2m of powder for 8 days! cant wait!

[japtaxi]

so about 3.5weeks at japan I guess..

gf went to snowboard trip at nagano few weeks ago, where winter olympic held years back. Looked like lots of snow too so you wont b disappointed if you are heading north.

[japtaxi]

since niseko isnt that far from sapporo..you might want to have a look at their snow festival..

http://www.snowfes.com/english/index_e.html

I guess I'll b there too early for that

[Ed G]

we looked at nagano... but Niseko has way better snow!

[Ed G]

yeah heard that festival is well worthwhile! will be going for sure

[japtaxi]

ed, also if you can stretch your visit time at japan, see if you can goto osaka auto messe..

11/feb to 13/feb

its more tuning parts specific than just typical auto rice salon I guess

[Ed G]

cant streach that far ahh well... I hope to get to TAS next year.... so i'll just have to wait!

I'm hooking up with a friend of mine to take me around a few workshops in tokyo/osaka..... she's also checking out some bits for me

[japtaxi]

that would b cool, I'll probably b going to auto messe if I goto japan next time depends if gf is still there or not.

well I'm all packed and theres no room in suitcase to take those race queens back, stupid winter clothes

[predator]

hey guys, I just bought another skyline!!

3 skylines... nuts I know.

who wants to buy an R31?

[Revhead]

Cyrus does, doesn't he?

[Nexus9]

you are such a car whore Gordon

[strutto]

who wants to buy an R31?

Is it a wagon?

[predator]

not my one.. although i do have a guy all lined up to swap my R31 for his S3 wagon .. in rockhampton though.

If I find a buyer for his, he could buy mine... everybody win.

[strutto]

So if he buys the other one, and you buy the first one, while I purchase the other, other one, and then we all take 3 steps to the left, we win a what now?

Have I got that right?

[predator]

um, no..

He was after $5k for his.. but its not worth that.. $3k i reckon he'd take.. its a GXE (the more luxury spec)

p.s. this is the one I'm buying: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=59664

i know i *was* after a wagon.. but silvertop RB20det and manual.. and the plush pimp interior is hard to go past. Something different.

The thing with a wagon, its one of those useful things some of the time, fun some of the time, but rest of the time it's like driving a boat
