Tokyo Autosalon 2006

[Blitz]

Hi all,

I thought it was time to throw a thread up to see who is planning on attending TAS 06'?

I will be over there with Beer Baron and RBNT by the looks of it

Organising an SAU meet at TAS is a waste of time from my past experience but if a number of people are around at that time then a night on the town could be in order.

what will the date be this time?

jan 14th?

[Beer Baron]

yeah i'm not too keen on organising any big group meet ups etc. But i guess i could be up for a dinner one night or something like that?

EDIT: TAS will be so very sweet. can't wait.

I want to go this year also,but is it worth it?

I got the feeling this year that the tuning part of the show is going down.Becomes more show and shine.

Same old democars being shown

DCD probaly have some input on the state of tuners etc?

I asked myself the same question 2 years ago...

IMO once you've seen one R34 GT-R with widebody kit, 20x13" wheels, 1200hp engine, carbon everything and 3 half naked J-girls crawling over it... you've seen it all

In fact, the standard of the rest of the world (EU, US, AU and more or less Canada, UAE and NZ) has caught up so much in the last 3 years that I believe that the Japanese are finding it harder and harder to stand out... it's not 1996 anymore...

I honestly believe the old days of Japan hype and all that goes with it will come to an ABRUPT END when 3 Fast 3 Furious is released, and a new generation of 16 year old American kids make it totally uncool to like anything about Japan. It's over.

LOL :lol:

Is that a bit too much? Must be good hotel and shit....! I'll book a camp site lol.

[Beer Baron]

that is not so expensive if it includes airfare, taxes, travel insurance, rail pass, accomodation. if it doesn't include all of those things then it's possibly just a tad pricey.

[AMS]

I may be making the trip over *fingers crossed*

Where are you staying Richard/Nick same as Tas05?

If I go this year I am not staying in central Tokyo.

Took a bloody hour+ to get to Makuhari and tuners in January.

that includes everything, i thought it was a reasonable package.

includes accomodation in a 3.5 star hotel too.

yeah mate, we will be in the same spot as last year for the TAS portion of our trip, and staying in Tokyo for the rest.

I dunno... car shows are errrm car shows.

If you ask me cars are meant to be driven and seeing all these cool cars just sitting there doing bugger all is as bad as a hot stripper you cant f*ck.

Maybe Im missing the point but I think track days/comps are where its at
