I'd seriously consider it, but it would have to coincide with the 2004 Auto Salon!

I'm game! I went to the 2002 Auto Salon. Autosalon, then off to Shizuoka for Tamiya, a few days in Sapporo and Hokkaido for some snow boarding, then off to Akihabara for a model and electronics shopping bonanza.

Was it you, who were trying to take pictures with the companion girls, but couldn't ask in Japanese and confusing them? Or was it some other AF member?

When visiting Tamiya, Shizuoka Hobby Show is the right timing, because they have an open house, and they show the tooling equipment, design office etc. that you don't see so often. (no photos allowed though.)

No not me, I went with my G/F. I'd be sleeping in the dog house if I tried that. Well in the hallway of the Shinjuku Hilton.
