Secondhand Minilites?202 viewsI wish that these were available for the Discovery 3 in 8x17 or 18" sizes.
Lots of secondhand tyres and rims stacked around tyre and motor car dealers yards everywhere we went in Japan from Hokkaido right down to Kyushu.27 Jun 2006

Paris in Japan?235 viewsSpotted these lovely ladies leaving an exclusive and hideously expensive doggie care/clothing facility in one of the larger shopping centres.27 Jun 2006

Translation Madness194 viewsAs usual in Japan, they have a love of English words and you see some funny things on T shirts, etc. but this took the cake on a little Honda Logo. Yes, it was equipped with glass windows and UV tint film.27 Jun 2006

Toyota Hilux Surf185 viewsParked near the Imperial Palace Kyoto.
Kluger uses same underpinnings but Surf looks better.27 Jun 2006

Lexus193 viewsBling factor alive and kicking on a Lexus spotted in the small mountainside village of Takayama. Again with the ultra low profiles. (Duh - how else can you have large shiny rims?)27 Jun 2006

Unknown Make197 viewsSnapped as it was leaving a small shopping centre but particularly interesting swage lines over the wheels which are featuring the typical Japanese feature of ultra low profile tyres. Ugly as a hatfull treatment of the front end though.27 Jun 2006

RADAR Detector on dash177 viewsMany (read lots) cars and trucks in Japan had a RADAR detector visible on the dash but I did not see one Police car on the highways in three weeks of travel by bus, taxi, or train. In my home state detectors are illegal and subject to confiscation when discovered.27 Jun 2006

Toyota IST - almost a Love Child of MB Parents175 viewsDiscovered that this is a Toyota Ist; it comes with a 1.3 or 1.5 litre engine with the 1.5 also available in 4WD. It seems to be a popular car for customising in Japan as there are a number of sites devoted to that.27 Jun 2006

Mitsubishi Pajero - Sapporo, Hokkaido193 viewsNice looking with custom painted bumper and special grille. Much better looking than the Aussie VRX version which uses the same grille but with standard bumper and bulbous lights.27 Jun 2006
