[yukz2daizzo]

[topi]

Schweet,

Ive got you added on MSN now. Cheers.

[Rezz]

i think rezz and them are far up north.

Try west... Kansai - Osaka to be exact.

[funkymonkey]

hey my car came from around your area rezz... i've got the dude's address, if I gave it to you can you go slap him for wearing the steering wheel down to the metal and for not getting a sunroof?

As for pressies, go with something cultural from England, like fine english crockery or something as simple as an elegant old coat hangar. Something pratical and something that they wouldn't think is too western to use around their house.

[Rezz]

Pretty tough trying to find a "non-western" gift in the UK!!!

how abt chopsticks

[topi]

That reminds me, I need to learn how to use the sticks of chop!

[funkymonkey]

the trick is to hold the bowl closer to your mouth... chopsticks aren't meant for long distance eating...

[topi]

I see. Are knives and forks used for long distance stuff? Or is it sprinting only in Japan?

[funkymonkey]

i just thought of something... how about tea... there's nothing more english than a cuppa tea... (even tho the best shit comes from Sri Lanka)... or maybe a traditional black brolly and a bowler hat. Or how about an antique walking stick?

[knore]

work expeirence at JUN! are you serious!

lol all youll be doing is walking around looking at the new 1000hp project cars you bastard!

so what exacly did you write in this email?

[topi]

Deadly serious, mwahaha, good stuff. Im not sure if they will let me take photos of internal JUN, but if I can I will.

Basically my letter stated who I was, where I am, what my background was, what my aim in life was, and how I wanted to get there. Oh and how I wanted work experience at their place.

I can put up the fully written one if you want, but its cheesy as hell.

[topi]

Oh, Yukio, whats going on with MSN dude.

Its says your online but you must be asleep or something :S

[funkymonkey]

yeah show us the letter, I might write in to HKS and try my luck... or Kazama, seeing as Troy already has connections in there. I'd love to get into their ECU mapping and tuning knowledge... hmm maybe even Apexi.

[topi]

"Dear Sirs.

I am writing to you to ask about giving me the opportunity to visit Japan for my work experience.

I was raised around cars and motor sport, and my fascination with speed has inevitably steered me towards Japanese performance cars. My dad,infact is a Japanese car enthusiast, currently owning a Toyota MR2 Turbo.

The dream I have is to move to Japan and set up my own/partnered tuning garage, working with Japanese sports cars. I would obviously gain a lot of knowledge from visiting the country before hand. As you work around this area and have people based in Japan, I thought you may be able to help me.

I have basic mechanical know-how and I am currently rebuilding a mini for further experience, and hope to have a very nice car at the end of it.

I may have something to offer the Japanese tuning scene that has not been an option for many people as yet. Nothing is agreed, but I have connections with Arrow Race Engineering, this could prove to be a very nice way to get more parts to the people.

I can appreciate that you are very busy, keeping the business great, but your help and advice would be extremely useful.

Yours faithfully.

Jack Topliss (15 year old student of England) "

This was written a while ago, I may have done it slightly differently now, but it worked.

As you can see I kept it breif and tried to stay on subject.

Basically you just need to get to the point. Busy people dont want to read about the book youve just written when they have things to do.

Anyway, yea go for it Funkymonkey, that would be good.

[Guest neoGT-25]

your 15! and you get to go to Japan... i officaly hate you jk

[topi]

Haha, the amount of abuse I get for this, its shocking.

But yea, woohoo.
