Hey I was just wondering if you could tell me what the kanji in your avatar meant. I am studying kanji at university right now and I think i figured it out and wanted to see if I was right. Thanks

Youre learning english? Really? (i hope youre not playing me...)

anyway, touge is the japanese word for "mountain pass". The translation isnt direct into english (could mean mountain path, mountain road).

I use it because it defines a style of driving that i enjoy, driving downt the mountain. I'm no initial d poser, its fun and challenging.

Ok cool. English is a hard language, even people born speaking it have problems.

Oh, and btw, touge is pronounced toe-gay.
