Travis' post covered much of what we saw there - I'm sure you've seen (or can find) it by now. Part 4. 11.09.07 Visit to Ultimate Z Garage [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=2096535 ] So it's been a while since I had a bit of time to share some pictures from the Japan trip in November with Mad Mike of the ZCCA. These are from the car show put on by Ultimate Z Car Club of Japan, namely Tetsu from Ultimate Z Car Garage. Weather was overcast, rainy and chilly all day. Turn out was still awesome and no one seemed at all pressed about the conditions. It was unlike ANY car show I have ever been to in the US. We arrived in time to help unload the truck and set up the pop tents & heaters. They guys from Yokohama Team Advan where on hand and brought their convertible truck to serve as a stage and lunch counter and provided some much needed cover during the occasional rain showers. They also brought their 3.8L Nismo Fairlady Z33 (of at least 3 @ the show)


 The 3.8L Z33 provided by Nissan:


 In typical fashion Mr. K and Ichi where on hand to do what they do best - pimp it. That's Matsuo-san on the right in the 2nd picture, he designed *the* 240z.

 350z w. GTR-ish fascia:
 Interesting Z32s:















 Other neat cars: Fairlady Z 432
 and another

 240z w. lead head light conversion
 This one is for Damon, Bear says 'ello.
 Here are all the pictures I took that day, lots more to see: [ http://www.yugobernie.com/images/Events/2007.11%20Japan%20Trip%20with%20Mad%20Mike/11.10.07%20-%20Z%20Car%20Fiesta%20Show/?path=./Sized/ ] All in all a great way to spend a chilly, rainy day in Japan and until the next day I thought I couldn't be topped... More to come.
