sexual_sushi Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Hi guys, I'm heading to rocky auto either tomorrow or Monday. Ideally tomorrow. Anyone know if it would be open on a Sunday? Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Turns out you should "book in" before going. They were all booked out tomorrow but I'm booked in for 4pm on Monday I hope they don't think I want to buy a car :s Quote
CroS13 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 pretend you do and see if you can get some test drives! how have you found getting around town and getting in contact with the workshops etc? can you speak any Japanese? have you checked out a superautobacs or upgarage? make sure to take lots of photos!!!!

Administrators gav240z Posted February 1, 2014 Administrators Posted February 1, 2014 If you can go and see Ando-San of TA-Auto. http://www.speedhunters.com/2010/09/event_gt_gt_ta_auto_sodegaura/ I love his 432-R tribute car. But I don't know how far he is from Rocky Auto. Quote
dat2kman Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Lots of bowing, exchange business cards, say " masa-mais" lots, ( thank you) Ask about expirt arrangements, repirt back, And yes lots of photos! Quote
d3c0y Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 I've always just rocked up when i have been there. No one there really speaks English from my experience and I have only ever gone on weekdays. Even if they are shut you wont miss much as most of the cars are just out in the yard. Some other things to visit are Toyota museum, Suzuka Circuit, Barramundi Design (20B green Z), RUF (if you are into Porsche) and Asahi factory while you are in Nagoya. Quote
CroS13 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 do you get free samples at the Asahi factory hmmmmmmm Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks guys. Just got back! Only checked out rocky auto as the gf also let me go to the Ferrari museums in Italy and I don't want to push it too far haha Guy was really nice, showed me a car they're working on ATM and popped the hood on a couple and started them for me the famous carbon fibre car wasnt there but the gold and silver one that has been making the rounds lately was. Some very nice cars and some very Rusty ones too! All the people here have been lovely, had quite a few people laughing at us asleep on the train. I'll post plenty of pics when I get back (although only had a little canon g1x to shoot with) Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 I'm glowing all kinds of colours, Japan is awesome! I bought this today with 50% off... Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 5, 2014 Administrators Posted February 5, 2014 This thread needs MOAR photos! Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 On the way to the airport now so soon... Ish! Quote
sexual_sushi Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 Ok so here is a sneak peek of a draft I'm working on. Unfortunately I have a back log of other work to catch up on so you will have to wait a little for the rest Quote
