Off topic post but for all the people interested in my daily Lexus i have just put it up for sale in the for sale section.
Also truck news, parts have steadily been arriving now so a little more of a wait then i can start building a twin turbo engine and getting it fitted.

What do you do for a living that means so much Travel? Sure I've seen that Mario Kart thing in TV sometime? I use to work on an oil refinery but now work for the water board. Unfortunately they don't send me to them sort of places i have to pay myself and just go on holidays although i have been very lucky with holiday hours and working them around shifts. yeah i think they have been on TV a few times, its kind of a weird site to see so everyone makes a point of pointing them out in programs. Sweet, have you been watching MCM & the Skid factory by any chance? Trips look awesome and a very good use of money & time. I have actually but the bits like the fuel pump were actually in episodes after i bought them. I think it was roadkill or something which gave me the idea for the phantom. A lot of the other bits which are similar are purely coincidental

Dizzle L200 looks good man! Is it tidy in the flesh? There is a rough looking 4x4 verion of similar vintage gathering moss in a field near Port Stanley its okay in the flesh, got some new wings to put on once the weather gets a bit nicer for painting them. She will be a good work horse and pattern for mine though.

a quick question to everyone that did the mario karts, how did you go about getting your international drivers licence. when i looked online it said about the post office but when i went in they said they don't do them any more. am a bit lost with it all? Hi, I got mine at the post office around a year ago. Only certain branches can issue them, details can be found using the search filters here and selecting ‘international licence’ under the ‘driving’ section: www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finderMore info on the licence (which looks to now be called a permit?) here: www.postoffice.co.uk/international-driving-permitHope that helps :-) Stu Thank you, i will have to take a trip to hull by the look of what it is saying. I will also have to give that top gear a watch then I've spent the last few years living in South Korea. Do you have a plan yet? Might be able to offer a few tips no plan as of yet all i know is we fly into Seoul and fly out 3 days later

I wondered what happened to my old lexus. Did you buy it from a kid called Ben in Bristol? I got it from a guy in Worcestershire, not to sure what his name was but he was a drifter

thanks for all this info guys, some really good things i never would have thought about doing. so far i think my plan is to get the japan rail card and try use that for most of my travel however i do still like the idea of hiring a car possibly for a few days however its not set in stone. so far i have planned: Tokyo 4 days Hiroshima 3 days Kyoto 3 days Nara 2 days Osaka 3 days we have 3 days of hotel booked in Tokyo in the shinjuku area so it seems like i am close enough to try get some good car spotting in, in the spots you have mentioned i definitely want to go to the Toyota megaweb that place looks like it ticks my boxes also it looks close ish to the transformer statues which i was wanting to go see also

So i had some money left over from buying a car so decided it would be a good idea to book a holiday for 3 weeks to go to japan, South Korea and Dubai. The only problem now is am not 100% sure on anything in japan. Ideally i would like to do some touristy stuff but the main thing is look at cars and possibly buy some parts to bring home. I will be in Tokyo to start for 3 days and apart from some street Mario karts i don't really have any plans in place and with the fly out date getting closer and closer am getting a little panic on. Does any one have any suggestions or ideas of things for me to do and the best places to see cars? Also am not sure on how to move around the county so any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Also here is a stock image of the Mario karts, should be pretty good

Please please please, if this ever comes up for sale let me know!!! I think you will have to take a number and wait in line, the amount of people who have said to me they want 1st refusal on this is i ever sell it is quite staggering, I never realised there was so many people who are aware of this truck and want to own it. If i ever did come to sell it i would offer it on here first so my fellow petrol heads can enjoy it. Also on the subject of the truck the clear Waxoyl has been sprayed on today and i have had some tyres mounted up to put on. I have work all day tomorrow so the aim is to have the axle mounted Sunday and sit it on its wheels. Exciting times
