Looking better, but you never know.

Uh oh...

Oh yeah, the Tokyo Auto Salon 2025 will be held Jan 10-12. https://www.tokyoautosalon.jp/2025/

Sat or Sun, shouldn't be too different. The weather will be the deciding factor. No organizing necessary for late night cruising, but if doing the Shutoko Expressway, some pre-work (studying the junctions and on/off ramps) is recommended !

Full day trips from Tokyo: Yokohama Chinatown Kamakura Kawagoe Nikko Kinugawa Onsen Kusatsu Onsen Hakone FujiQ Highland (roller coasters w/view of Mt. Fuji) Activities in Tokyo: early morning Sumo stable Sumida River cruise, followed by a trek to cross all the bridges you just passed under...

Being local, I've never considered renting a car, but yes, that is definitely an option.

For context so others can appreciate the discussions: Japan is roughly the size of the entire east coast of the USA. Excluding Maine / Vermont and Florida from the travel plans still leave quite a bit to explore. The distance between Tokyo and Kyoto is similar to Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but...

I am based in Tokyo, let's meet up for a beer! We should also plan an hour or two to see the car scene at Daikoku Wharf. Not really, as it is now very difficult to avoid crowds. Japanese tourists aren't your concern - many are not traveling because they can't afford to anymore. The bulk of...

Ah, got it.

Let’s make it 06:45 just in case :)

This guy is going in for its second repair this year (this time the automatic winding doesn't work). Beginning to feel similar to Emira ownership... The Triumph collaboration Breitling is looking so enticing...

@hal and @shin73 , will you be joining us at 羽生PA too? @Nick219 will your friend start with us from いちょう並木 or is there a better place? @ino we need to see your special blue car!

OK, let's go clockwise(no reason). We can do Momiji-line one-way only or we can double back and drive back. Both routes are approximately the same length and time, so I would suggest we enjoy Momiji-line twice...

Checking out the lighting around Marunouchi Naka-doori Street, just west of Tokyo Station.

Do we start posting pictures of our butts now?

All too true!

It will depend on your tolerance of swirls. Full PPF works for me.

Sounds like a plan ! From what I can see in the picture, is it this what you are suggesting? Tohoku Expressway (東北自動車道) up to Iwafune (岩舟) JCT continue to Ohta Kiryuu (太田桐生) IC R122 north ==> R119 ==> R121 Momiji Line (日塩もみじライン) north {逆方向つまり南下する方がいいですか？} R140 west ==> R121 south ==> R119 east...

It is what it is. I will try to soften my butt...

やはりそうですか。もみじラインだけです午前中で解散になってしまいますので、もう少し何か欲しいですね。後半に栃木県道56号塩原矢板線 (八方道路) を取り入れるとちょうどいい感じになりそうな気がします。 OK, how about a ride through the もみじライン and then conncting to K56 八方道路 . The traffic should be better than いろは坂 this time of year. https://maps.app.goo.gl/F8WyR64ttm13YNqG6...

OK, let's do Saturday (Nov. 23). This way, you'll have Sunday to recuperate 😆 今回は11月23日(土)にしましょう。翌日に休息と洗車ができます。

通常2時間ぐらいで上り下りできるいろは坂、紅葉シーズンだと5-6時間かかるとか。この日までに紅葉が終わっていることを願うばかりです...

Mine were like that a few days before breaking. You may be the next.

Still waiting for replacement parts, but in the meantime thought to weigh the OEM visors. I only used a cheap digital scale meant for travel baggage, so the measurements will not be as accurate as some may want. driver side (without vanity mirror): 380g passenger side (with vanity mirror): 420g

Anyone else want to go and have a preference for either Sunday or Saturday? If not, the majority wins the vote. 参加希望の方で土・日の希望のある方はお知らせください！現時点では土曜日優勢です。 Please let him know he is welcome to this forum and any events we have !

Wanna do both? :LOL:

Some ideas for autumn one-day trips in the Tokyo area, if anyone has a free day and an Emira to drive. Should offer some great opportunities to take pictures for the "Emira of the Month" contest, or just a nice quiet day in the autumn air. (November 2024 - Emira Photo of the Month starts now...
