    No visits for me the next few days. Matsuda-san's place is in Gotemba, which takes about 3 hours to get to (it is in the middle of nowhere) from Tokyo.

    I haven't been to the smaller places in Tokyo yet, otherwise I'd tell you where they are.

    Walk around Ginza, you'll see everything if you stay out long enough.

    Just busy. I'll be better when I crack open a scotch and water on the bullet train Wednesday night after my meetings.

    Lucky you, I couldn't get my Amex to work to get the wireless service at Narita the last time. Banker's luck I guess.

    Enjoy Honolulu. Don't get too much sun.

    Oh, I know where you are. NWA lounge, right?

    You have to pay for the wireless. I'd rather have it that way when flying Air China. You know their slogan, "be thankful we got you there."

    patpong...try Art Sports Tokyo. They also have a lot of high end sports cars in stock. A few months ago they had 3 Enzos(two sold already-that i know of) and a Slr McLaren so that could also be fun after you visit Cornes.

    Cornes has a 430 spider and the flat black ex-Jean Todd Maranello in the showroom right now. They have very few Ferrari memorabilia items there.

    Matsuda Museum is near Mt. Fuji so it's quite a drive as Erik said.

    The only shop I know in Tokyo dedicated to Ferrari stuff is Cats Speed, about 45 minute drive if I remember correctly. It's a very small shop but a few years ago I bought some embroidered patches and some key chains there.

    Found a new place. Bingo Sports in Akasaka (litterally right behind the PM's house on the same block as the Prudential building).

    They had an F50, 288 GTO, 959 and a Mac Daddy F1 on the showroom floor. Both times that I went by they were closed.

    A silver 612 passed my taxi as we drove by the Diet building, that car is really starting to grow on me...

    And so I went to pay a visit to the great McLaren F1 at Bingo Sports. There were a few Ferrari goods shop that I could visit but I weighted it against seeing the McLaren F1 in the flash, I went for the F1. The Ferrari goods I could get from internet but seeing the F1 was more rare since there are only a few in Asia.... may be non is available in a showroom except this one... I was so lucky trying it out for size..............
