335i + Thursday Night + Highway + Exige S

TokyoCarGuy · 02-20-2014, 11:14 AM

A friend of mine is a motoring journalist and a member of speedhunters team.
He called me up and said that he was bringing the press car out.
There was no way I was going to miss that one!

For those who don't know Daikoku PA is rest stop in the middle of a large highway junction, and it's a also a meeting place for all the car people in Tokyo area. Given it's a Thursday night and everybody is watching female Olympic figure skating shenanigance, it was pretty empty. On a weekend, things may get quite crazy down there...

So there:

I took a ride in that Exige S later on and that thing was just mad. Summer semi-slicks don't make it any better. Man, there are some crazy cars out there!

I wish he had our Daikoku too. I envy you the car culture in Japan!

I was looking at this and thinking, doesn't Dino have an Exige S this week? Tell him I said hello, and when's he putting that V8 in his GT-R? (I'm only kidding but it drives him nuts!)

Yep, that's Dino all right, don't ask me how he fits in this thing....
Believe it or not Dino and I went to same high school, so we tend to hang out every now and then.

I will remind him about that V8, definitely!

Nice shots!!

It seems like there's always an amazing selection of cars at the Daikoku Parking Area, I would love to attend one of those meets.
