Well now you can! While naked and in the comfort of your own home! (not sure if it's the same as actually being there though..)

And sorry for my absence everyone. This website blocks ip's from the merry south of the Korean Peninsula so I finally went through a proxy server.

Anyway without further adieu, here you are

Until next time gents!

Sweet, hai. PAt!! Shadow and I send our best!

Hi Pat! Good to hear from you!

They misspelled Mitsubishi on the motorcycle in the second pic lol.

well, hello again gents!
So I had my winter vacation during the last 2 weeks of January and thought it a good idea to spend them in Japan. It turned out to be a great idea too. I spent a few days in Osaka, 2 days in Kyoto, and almost a full week in Hiroshima.
Yes, the home of Mazda Motor Corporation. And yes, I took the tour.

Let me know if the link doesn't work and I'll see what my computer illiterate butt can do about it.
Other than that I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the snow that I keep reading about.

I'm checking the pics out now! Awesome visit it looks like; thanks for sharing the photos. =)

The interior on that green RX-7 is Baller. And that' probably not even the look they were going for!

And r-hand drive... Damn, I want that car.

Very cool pics. Especially liked the breakouts of the rotary engines.

WHAT!!!! Electric Assist Turbo?!?!?!? I thought I was the only one crazy enough to think of that. I thought about it years ago when I got one of those inflatable matrasses. The pump looked like a turbo and I was like what if you had a electric motor so it acted like a super charger and when the exhaust flow was great enough it took over for the electric motor. Interesting and awesome.

Pat, does your last name start with Tra..?

Dude, you been hitting the gym?

Thanks for the pictures and update!

Yes sir. That is amazing. I need to implement that into the setup I'll eventually build for the 8. Get the bigger turbo spooled quicker.
