I was lubed and rogered by the Tokyo Lego airport shop... Significantly cheaper than back home, I came back with the Schmuacher F1 car, Rexy the GT3 and the Technic Ford GT40. (And a free gift-with-purchase picture frame ...

Thanks for the kind words gents. :)

I'm gonna put these up in different places too, but the full write up is for you guys here I think. I figure all of us would be interested in such an event, so just some honest thoughts and opinion I guess. I've been mulling over my 'I'd do it this way to make it ...

I'll take that as a yes... As mentioned at the start of the thread, a good friend of mine just DM'd me one morning in Feb saying 'Do you want to go to this?' The words 'Fuck yes!' left my mouth without even thinking about it. What happened between then and the event has been quite interesting. I ...

Is there any interest in a write-up on this here? I don't wanna bore people, but if people wanna see, I'll sort something out.

If that doesn't make you want to own your own 5 axis milling machine I don't know what does...



*I want my own 5 axis milling machine.

Who is that shit for? Are there actually people out there who see that and think 'fuck yeah, that's what I need!' and buy it?

Dear fucking god.

I watched that last night and thought it was fantastic!

Also really makes me want to drive classic Ferraris on ice lakes. I already know it's for a gentleman of a different kind of financial means without even clicking the link.

And a firm reminder, if we needed one, that we're all at that age now where it could happen to any of us. Make the best of what you can, while you can.

That article is fantastic.

She's absolutely gorgeous!

I was gonna say... Japan is literally half way home, basically the same trip from UK as it is from NZ. Toughen up

Obviously...

Not sure about on the way back mind. Buddy has a habit of buying car shit. Last time he came back with a cylinder head and a set of ITBs for his MX5 in checked luggage

So my car buddy here in NZ messaged me last weekend and said 'Do you wanna go to this?' It helps he works for an airline and gets mates rates on flights, but in short, we're going to Tokyo next month:
