Please stop by and say hey - I will be set up there selling the VIntage TOrque magazines and DVDs.

Issue #3 will premiere there!

Come by and take a look.

Not sure there will be enough guys to have a meet and greet...........

Will anyone go to the get together the night before the show?

I will be there as well - I think the Dynotones will play there that night and at the show.

 

has anyone heard if Mr G or Grimb....Makoto? Fudamae?

any other new Japanese artists?

I know they were there last year - but hoping to see them again this year.

Guess Nash would now huh?

I will email him

 

I'll be there with my 57 g***er.

Not this year... but someday...

 

wow - you are taking your car over ?
I have always wondered how that worked - do you have to ship it over or does Mooneyes pay the shipping fees and stuff?

also - do you get in on Thursday or Wednesday before the show?

and

do the cars all roll in on Friday ?

or do they start coming in on Thursday?

 

Alas, Gents.....Im back in Oz!

One of the few reasons I would ever go back to Japan!
I've still got a few friends there if anyone needs any desperate help.

 

I own the blue 57 on the poster.
mooneyes ships and insures the car. I'll be there friday and leave on tuesday.
Todd

 

Mark in Japan and HemiDave are no longer in the land of the rising sun.......
that is a sad sad thing

as for your car Todd - wow - looking forward to seeing that in person.....
just curious - how far in advance do you have to ship the car over?

 

I live in FL. The car shipprd to CA. in August but didn't leave for Japan until October. I'll see you there.
Todd

 

Less than week away. Who all is going?

 

I'll be there!

 

Please come on by and say Hi！
I'll be around 1960 green Pontiac.

 

Tell us more about shipping to Japan. How much. Driving on their roads, insurance?

 

Every time I asked about registration (shaken) for rods, I got the same answer...."we get reeniency!" (leniency?)

 

had a great time in Japan and the guys at Mooneyes put on another amazing event.

I will try to get my pix up this week!

 

I was just thinking "I hope somebody puts up some crazy pix of the **** you see everyday in Japan"....and I KNOW that I took you to the places where you might see that stuff!!!!!!

 

I miss Japan and am lookin forward to these pics.

 

I too am looking forward to seeing pics. I am back in the States for a couple of weeks... Spent all summer looking forward to this show and then had to miss it for this trip.. Oh well, next year..

Comet, did you make it to Yokohama???

 

i just got back late last night. it was awesome! shigae said attendance topped 10,000 people. there were 250 bikes and about 200 cars. weesner was there, dan collins was there, cole foster was there, ask him about cab rides in japan. jimmy shine did go, he likes to leave sharpie marker marks on your hands when you're not looking, lol. a **** ton of beatniks were there and james hetfield's buick was there. jimmy shine brought a '57 chevy (with '56 side trim) g***er and left tread marks on the show floor with it.

a huge thank you to chico and shigae, they took great care of us all and threw a hell of a weekend with multiple parties. good times!
just watch out for that octopus jerky. bleeeech!

 

if someone were planning to move to Japan..

and wanted to bring a completed car with them, what would shipping cost,etc etc be like?

anyone here know?.. i may be moving there and want to bring my ride.

buddy of mine scared the shizz outta me telling me that its like 20K or some ****.

 

There's a cheaper way. If you drive up the Alsakan highway to the Aleutian islands during the coldest part of winter an ice bridge forms that connects to Siberia. You can then drive through Eastern Russia and take a trolley to Northern Japan. You will save a ton of $. You need a p***port and Permission to cross into the USSR.

 

oh for real?.. for really?.. for really realz dawgs?.. for realisms?.. really?


an ice bridge?

YAAAAAAYYYY!!

 

I asked the same question - seems you can get a container that holds 2 cars shopped over for a few thousand $$$$

so you should try to split it with someone sending over stuff - I am sure a shipping agent will be able to tell you much more details

here is a link to the pix

great pic collection. I recognized a couple of cars, one coupe a friend brought over and then sold, also recognized a couple of the bikes from Moon employees...

The cars with the red diagonal on the plates, were these cars that were brought over?? I know this is a temp plate thing, prob to make it "legal" to drive the roads while in Tokyo..
