Tokio - where to go?

[mo-racing]

simon, thanks heaps for your very nice report!! this is very good help for the start!

but .... i have to ask. where did you lend the evo5 in japan? is it the average rental car in japan??? would be very kind to rent cars like these

Whow,

People actually don't know the work that has gone into recreating realism in the initial D series. Yes EVERY location down to Takumis fathers TOFU shop exists! I lost the link but there is a site on the internet with fotographs of each location. The only thing made up in Initial D is the story itself. I doubt the tofu shop owner actually has an Trueno

[mo-racing]

maybe the tofu shop has a trueno now ... for publicity

simon, yes, please post some more pics!!!

mo-racing,

I can just see it. Guy that owns that tofu shop keeps getting initial D pilgrims comming to his shop, doesn't have a clue whot is going on. Goes and buys the DVDs, finds out his shop is featured in some stupid cartoon. Desides to buy a trueno, and retires after some years of selling Initial D toys 'n stuff

He doesn't... I know which site you are talking about. It also described that Shigeno Shuichi himself lived in Akina during the time he started to draw Initial D.

I really didn't know this

I knew about Initial-D, but before 5 months ago i didn't see a single episode. Never searched on internet either.

I still haven't seen A SINGLE Initial D episode. Is there something wrong with me?

The Evo 5 was lent to us by Miguel from NewEra because a few of us had previously bought cars through him....

Here is the said evo



Our visit to Top Secret







The Super Autobacs in Tokyo Bay









Now to Crystal in Chiba

Again I still have lots more but they are mostly of cars spotted at auctions and loads of night pictures...........remember, we had an Evo 5, so yes we were out racing with the other hashiriya on the Wangan ! lol
