Toecutter Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 This site covers a cafe in Japan that is full of Datsun gear and cars. Looks very interesting for anybody that might be going to Japan in the near future! http://www.fairladycafe.jp/ Sulio Quote

warrenz Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Hi When I was in Japan 2 weeks ago I took a visit to the Fairlady Cafe. It is in the town of Kasama, which is about 80 minutes north of Tokyo by train. Since we had a Japan rail pass to give us the train ride for free we decided to go up there. It was not within walking distance of the train station so we had to get a taxi. It is a Cafe with a display of Z cars downstairs. There is a workshop on the side with a hoist and tools but that is not used as a daily mechanical workshop. Perhaps the owners workshop. They do not sell any parts, but sell some Z merchandise. The guy that owns the cafe owns most of the cars in the showroom but not all of them. There is the 2000 Sports, 280ZX, 240ZG, 300ZX (series 1) and a convertible 300ZX. All cars are in immaculate condition. We were there for about 2 hours and had lunch at the cafe. The 2 cafe staff were very friendly and gave us some of the stuff they were selling. They gave me a calender produced by the Fairlady Owners club of Tokyo called the "Z Project". OK it is for 2006 and maybe would not have sold it but some great cars on it. They also gave me a copy of a the 10th Anniversary Album produced by the same club and some Fairlady matches. I bought a Fairlady Cafe bumper sticker, a Z car lanyard and a Fairlady T shirt. We had some difficulty in communication over the lunch order and the girl suddenly disappeared and came back with her laptop with Wi-Fi card and connected to Google translator. She typed in Japanese and hit the translate to english button and I did the reverse. Very effective. Photos of my 2 Z's are now on their photo board with the web address for Vic Zcars on the back. All in all a nice relaxing 3/4 day ride into the country side. Cheers Warren Quote
