Hi, was wondering if there are any Japanese owners here. See a few in Tokyo, and I must say. . You guys have taste
Yes, they certainly have taste, albeit a special one See my photos: http://community.webshots.com/album/361649258FbXmQG http://community.webshots.com/album/422080490TzuIUq
wow, thanks for sharing. So you work in Japan? I saw a few with after market rims and exhaust, and they sound mad.
Japan is so interesting because you can only see such "style" over there, and nowhere else. The amount of modified Ferraris is just nuts. If you like Ferraris with special rims and lots of decals, or the more extreme stuff like Koenigs or Hamanns, than Japan is certainly the place to be. No doubt about that Monaco is a completely different story. I just looked at the list of cars that I saw there back in 2002, when I also visited the Historic GP and the modern F1: 200 (!) different Ferraris, including 36 F355s, 69 360s, 8 550 Barchettas, 9 F40s and 6 F50s. Plus 8 Aston Martins, 2 Dauer EB110SS, 15 Lamborghinis, 2 McLaren F1s, 2 Spykers and a Pagani Zonda. Well, I guess you get my point
damn, i better start working harder.. I never been to monoco, but I have to admit, Japanese do have taste, Are the cars in Japan well taken ? May buy something in Japan to export out well.. want to have some options. .
I would say Monaco is the best single place to see top end cars in such a concentrated space. It is onle 3 square miles or something and has mega population density mainly of very rich people! As a contrast, I went to Hong Kong recently which is of course small, full of people and plenty of cash floating round the area. In 3 days I saw: Zonda F50 XJ220 Another 20 + Fcars 5 Gallardos Lamborghini Jalpa Several NSXs, top end BMW, Merc, every Porsche model ever!
Japanese hardly drive their cars. maybe 1 time a month. That is why the turn around here is so high. They own a car for 2 years and sell it then buy a volvo. There are some here who do use the car for what it is worth, but on the other hand, they are hard to come by. I thought I was the only Ex-Pat here who drove one then I seen another white guy in a red 430 spyder running around Roppongi Hills. I drive mine. some months daily. If you buy a ferrari, you should be willing to pay the price of owning one. Also, no, they dont have nice taste, they have a Ferrari. You should see when they get out of the car....Dorks. lol My wife in japanese and she rolls on the ground when she sees them. But I love japanese people. lol
Jason. you have any idea, where I am able to source some after markets parts for a Murchi and a f430. Rims ,exhaust etc. Thanks
Hi Vector-France, I wonder where in Tokyo did you find this place at? I am also living in Tokyo right now.
For Art Sports, check out: http://www.artsports.co.jp Address is: 1-3-10, Higashi-Shinagawa Shinagawa-ku Tokyo, 140-0002 Tel. 03-5461-0123 Fax. 03-5461-0456 It's a fifteen minute walk from Shinagawa station (south Tokyo). Or take a taxi. It's a nice place, impressive cars, but you're probably not allowed to take pictures.

I was there lats week. They sold the yellow enzo but have a red one now. Also an F50 amd a few challenges... nice selection.
Thats correct! They now have 2 red Enzo's (one had a sold sign on it) and a bunch of 430's, 2 of them challenge cars! A 355 GTB with about 9500 km or miles, but only 1 360, a CS in white. Very beautiful car! Exactly what I want my next F-car to be! No! they dont allow any pics (idiotic for a place selling cars) but its not my first time in Japan, so I knew what to expect when I asked, and I wasnt surprised. However, I probably could have shot 3 rolls of film as I walked around with them ignoring my presence! (I guess I dont look like I got no money) CMJ
What are you doing in Japan? I can take you down there. You can take all the pictures you want. They wont say anything to you if I am there.
