Land Rover Discovery 3 'Comfort' - Detailed views405 viewsCopied from Land Rover Magazine Number 40 (Japanese edition)
|
|
Paris in Japan?233 viewsSpotted these lovely ladies leaving an exclusive and hideously expensive doggie care/clothing facility in one of the larger shopping centres.
|
|
Secondhand Minilites?202 viewsI wish that these were available for the Discovery 3 in 8x17 or 18" sizes.
Lots of secondhand tyres and rims stacked around tyre and motor car dealers yards everywhere we went in Japan from Hokkaido right down to Kyushu.
|
|
Lexus190 viewsBling factor alive and kicking on a Lexus spotted in the small mountainside village of Takayama. Again with the ultra low profiles. (Duh - how else can you have large shiny rims?)
|
|
Translation Madness194 viewsAs usual in Japan, they have a love of English words and you see some funny things on T shirts, etc. but this took the cake on a little Honda Logo. Yes, it was equipped with glass windows and UV tint film.
|
|
Toyota Hilux Surf182 viewsParked near the Imperial Palace Kyoto.
Kluger uses same underpinnings but Surf looks better.
|
|
Mitsubishi Pajero185 viewsPainted bumper, wheel arches, and spare removed from back door.
|
|
Mitsubishi Pajero - Sapporo, Hokkaido193 viewsNice looking with custom painted bumper and special grille. Much better looking than the Aussie VRX version which uses the same grille but with standard bumper and bulbous lights.
|
|
Toyota IST - almost a Love Child of MB Parents173 viewsDiscovered that this is a Toyota Ist; it comes with a 1.3 or 1.5 litre engine with the 1.5 also available in 4WD. It seems to be a popular car for customising in Japan as there are a number of sites devoted to that.
|
|
RADAR Detector on dash174 viewsMany (read lots) cars and trucks in Japan had a RADAR detector visible on the dash but I did not see one Police car on the highways in three weeks of travel by bus, taxi, or train. In my home state detectors are illegal and subject to confiscation when discovered.
|
|
Unknown Make196 viewsSnapped as it was leaving a small shopping centre but particularly interesting swage lines over the wheels which are featuring the typical Japanese feature of ultra low profile tyres. Ugly as a hatfull treatment of the front end though.
|
|
BMW197 viewsUltra low profile tyres.
|
|
Honda CBR165 viewsNote nice wear on rear tyre edges in the close up view.
|
|
Closeup View - Honda CBR193 viewsShowing feathered edge on a bike that is obviously ridden like the rider stole it!
|
|
Discovery in Shinagawa239 viewsA Tokyo dealer's demonstrator - HSE Maya Gold V8
|
|
Discovery SE - ready for delivery227 viewsThe day I visited the dealer, this car was awaiting delivery.
