Initial D Roads (in real)
Saw Daggernite got his own topic with little pictures of Initial D roads in reallife (Japan) :
http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...ighlight=japan everything with this site ok, but pictures are too small , as for me ,It's not enough ;/
So I decided to post one more site with tons of Japanese mountain road pictures from Initial D anime  hope this isn't repost link or smth.
LINK : http://www.h2.dion.ne.jp/~eg9/gallery.htm
Enjoy guys.
Wish to live there (Japan)

believe you wouldn't want to live in Japan if you already live in the U.S.

if your looking for jap imports this place is about a 5 minute walk from my house. Not too far from huddersfield either. They dont have an rx7 in at the moment, but put it in your favourites and keep checking back. The do have a stunning skyline with flip orange paint however - it look way better in real life than it does on the pictures tho.

I would so llike a RX-7 think I'd give a skyline a miss tho, and as for insurance, well it just so sux dont it  I did have a plan tho, there are these storage building which are quiet big, which are been rented out at 50 quid a week, I was think of saving for a car (rx-7) like that and keeping it in one of them. But then I realised I could'nt drive it, I could just staire at it
But I'm surprised at how cheap the RX-7's are, the FC's are under 2grand in some places. :shock:

FD's are usually around 15K around here so buying one is basically out of the question for me because on top of it being a used car and may have some problems insurance is quite high in the states
