While chatting to Doi-san at R-Magic on Saturday, he'd mentioned that he'd seen John and I in the new copy of REVSpeed. I'd done a mini interview in Japanese at the Eightlien event on 8/5 and posed for a photo so was half expecting it. Flipping through REVSpeed, I came across page 61 and there we were - myself and John at Roxy's wheel with a photo of my new Recaro seat along with helmet, gloves and harness underneath. Cool.
Had a bit of a shock when I read the title as it basically says "I got to the circuit every week". While this was almost true in August it was more an exception than the rule. But good eye catching opener I guess :-).
The article reads something like:
He's from Ireland and likes to go to the circuit. He likes the RX-8 rotary smooth feeling and chassis balance. He likes to go to the circuit 2 to 3 times a month. The English dude, John, he is pictured here with today is someone he met on the net. They are both enjoying the Japanese tuning culture.
They mention that inside my car, the Recaro bucket seat gives it a racy feel and that my car is lightly tuned with an exhaust. It mentions I'm thinking of an Autoexe suspension and dry battery as my next step up. I guess my Japanese is still not so good as I already have that suspension :-)
Anyway, nice little column. Thanks REVSpeed!

You are famous now. Don't worry about your Japanese. I am sure I am worse than you.
