Tokyo Auto Salon Part 1

sorry for the late update, cos i took a whole day to edit and post up these pictures...


*WARNING: LONG POST*


The second day we all woke early, in anticipation of the day's itinerary, which was the TOKYO AUTO SALON 2008!!

We went over, got our press passes and went in. These press passes opened the door to a lot of things, and you had priority over taking pics or asking questions, etc.
The models usually looked straight at you and posed for you...i had no choice but to take pictures of them when i really wanted the car instead....

At the same time, Gran Turismo 5 was also being launched in the foyer! they set up a whole race arcade thing, complete with real recaro seats, steering wheel and pedals all, plus a custom made frame to hold all these, stimulating a real race. damn chio lor. I was tempted to steal one.

of cos the Playstation3 was a plus.
After hanging around outside, making last minute toilet breaks and filling our stomachs, we finally stepped into the hall:



Feast your eyes on the cars, people.






HKS new muffler. There is an automatic stopper that acts as a silencer when you need it!
