Across the pond
They say the best time of the day in Tokyo is night because that is when the city shakes and glows. It is a wonderful place to explore at night by car as the roads that block them up all day are finally empty.

And as I left the sightseeing of the city until it came to life after sunset. I was at Makuhari Messe checking out this year’s offerings from the tuners that breathe performance and personalization to just about every car on this side of the pond.

As I walk down the aisle with tuner shops flashing past, you brake and catapult back up to speed allowing the impressions of an opulent and inexhaustible brands sear into my retinas. Just as there is more luxury per square meter than anywhere else in the world, it may also apply to the tuners as well.

So here's my offerings from last weekend...
