The whole country is very beautiful and really amazing.
It is very clean, very safe and very different.
You'll find it strange and amazing at the same time.
I think they are in the 22nd Century!
Really worth a visit.

must check about the LED tail lights - dont think they have them over here at all.

My plan is to get the car in 10 days and then during August I am going to recreate the route that Clarkson took when he raced the Nissan GT-R across Japan through the mountains from the west of Japan over to Tokyo (I'll be doing it in the other way around from Tokyo to the east coast).

Can't wait!! :grin:

Hello and welcome  :cool:

Are European cars popular in Japan? Never been before but from the pictures I see of traffic, there never seems to be many Euro cars around

Well I finally got to collect my new car!!!!  :smiley:

The sun was blazing down (36C here at the moment) and the shadow blue metallic looked amazing glittering like a jewel! The car has been treated with something called a permanent coat (glass coat maybe?) so it looks spotless.
No regrets about the colour at all - its very unusual that it looks so different depending on the weather in that its more flat blue when cloudy.

Anyway, first impressions are wow! I used to drive a MKV GTI before but this seems far more planted on the road and more 'chunky' than the older model. Driving home from the garage last evening had a Honda NSX try to race me on a flat stretch and some young guys in an old GT-R follow alongside checking the car out. Didn't think that the car would bring such attention from those in the know!

Will post some pics when I get a chance - thanks for all your comments so far.

I love Japan. Coming back to the UK after a holiday there is a complete culture shock as to how backward and disorganised we are. But, somehow, I love the UK more - just! :smiley:

The UK is backwards and disorganised?  You want to come and work in Saudi even for a few days - then you'ill be BEGGING to go back to the UK which is paradise in comparison.   :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
