Chris,

Surprised you didn't see more amazing toys (relatively speaking of course as your toy looks much more fun

). When I was in Japan a couple of years ago, I saw F40s, 993RS cups and various nice cars in a gathering.

Lawson is equivalent to the Seven-Elevens.

Was hoping it had something to do with Eddie Lawson! (Anyone know him?)

No airjacks on this car, too much weight and cost

Looking forward to the pics. Just out of rudeness how much is a set of airjacks for a race car like that, if you can share that info.

Air jacks on the Cab would be a nice touch. Good idea!

Hmm, airjacks - they are convenient, but a pain in the butt to maintain. We designed and made our own for our Indycars way back when. I dont know their exact cost but it would be fair to assume they cost us about one 993

Here are some images --

Freakin' Scudi!!

Nice Gt3

You should have heard the Scudi tear around the track today! It was amazing!!

We checked out of the hotel and made a short drive up to Mt Fuji. This is one very pretty place indeed. Roads were closed for us to get closer, but we did make it up past the snow line, the air was quite thin even where we made it up to.
