    Recently I went to Tokyo for the first time. Xavior, who had never met me before but had talked to me on Fchat about Suzuka, was nice enough to meet up and show me around. We hung out and went everywhere in his MEAN 355 (yes, the car is THAT loud)! The car is fast for sure.

    Tokyo was awesome. Xavior introduced me to a bunch of people and places. We also smoked some cubans, ate great food, drank at some fun bars, and went to the Tokyo auto salon (car show for tuned cars - every manufacturer / tuning company was there).

    BIG thanks to Xavior!!!!! I had a blast man, way more fun than if I had gone solo the whole time. BTW, Bakushu Club Popeye was great, you should go. I even saw sumos walking around there (in Ryogoku).

    Here is the 355 video. Turn the volume WAY up!

    Just watched the vid again. Go to the 1:10 mark, that is exactly how it happened! One second after I see the car, Xavior is just saying "hey, I'll take you around the block", but a quick minute later we are hauling A$$ !!! Winding out 3rd, 4th... 5th gear on the Wangan was pretty intense. I thought my face was peeling off.

    Next time we are going to Suzuka!

    Xavior, come stateside and I'll take you for a great ride, hopefully in an F430 by then.

    Those police cars over there are only factory tuned...if you can go better than 190K the can't catch you. So they don't even try.......... ;o)

    (Nice video, and great host you had, Scott)

    That sounds exactly like a line from the movie "Fast and Ferious Tokyo drift".

    Very cool video Tom, thank you very much for sharing.

    That was a really cool video. X has an excellent accent, like a native. Car is gorgeous. Must be a handful to drive a left hand car in a right hand country. And where the he77 did you find open roads in Tokyo?! I have never seen that much space on a highway there before. Must have been like 2AM. :)

    Thanks bro. I love to race and that car was built for it. If Japan was not so damn expensive I would be in Formula Nippon right now.... of couse I would be skinny for it. Racing is life... Period.
