Scott,
I was stationed there in Tokyo for 7 years and i brought the B with me. I
can say that i have never had a better time in my life! I owned a Birkin 7
there for about a year as well as 3 midgets. As for LBC happenings... go to
a place called Hokkane by Mt Fuji if you ever get the chance. On sunday
mornings there you can see 50+ LBCs there racing around the mountains. From
Minis to 7's to MGs and that thing that is called a Tri@#%ph. What is neat
is to see the Marcuses and the 7's take off down the side of the mountain.
Let me know where you will be and I will put you in touch with some friends
who live there
( yes they speak english but will make you learn some japanese) and they
will show you around. Oh yes, go to the Tscuba Circuit for the all british
day race!!! man that was GREAT!!!
Don Collins ( just waiting to go back with the B)
