Hello all, my name is Ray. I'm from Alberta Canada.

I drive a 2000 Miata in the summer months. Big fan of Eurobeat and collector of die cast cars. Been to Japan twice.

Just stopping by to say hi. I'll post a picture of my car in the show your car thread.

Cheers.

Thanks!

First time I was in Tokyo and Kyoto and also climbed Mt Fuji.
Second time I was in Tokyo and Osaka.
Planning to go again next year and visit the other cities like Yokohama, Nagoya and Hiroshima.

次回尾坂に可愛い少女をゲットやねんw彡c(^o^ )~

TL The culture in Hakone is very interesting & public relations with the opposite sex is typically interchanged with respect and mutual serendipitous soliloquy. smile.gif

Nice. I've only been to Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya, Akihabara, and Roppongi) but you know that alone is the trip of a lifetime. Definitely want to go again, stay longer and do more.

Nothing wrong with that. When I go back I plan on making the pilgrimage. Besides, there are some legitimately great onsen in Gunma.

@kyonpalm
100% true, Japan was my first time overseas and was such a game changer.

It is ridiculously clean for one of the biggest cities on Earth - and they don't even have public trash cans.

Are you talking about the one in Red Deer? I heard you can autocross there without a roll bar for convertible

I would had already done some track days at Castrols but they require a roll bar which I don't want to put into my Miata since it's my daily driver.

The autocross is at Castrol as well. Not sure if a roll bar is needed.
