Hey all,
Just got back in from a long few days in deepest, darkest Kent. Arrived late last night after finding out Taniguchi had arrived and was on his way to the hotel, so I thought I'd get there early and have some beers etc. After a few jars last night we got to Brands at around 8am to give anyone who needed it a hand and to supply coffee's etc. and be good boys to Mr Taniguchi. Spent a good few hours chatting sh1t and talking technical stuff with Nob, both in English and through his Manager, Daigo San. The HKS Technical Director was also over from Japan and he talked myself and Matt (Geordie) through some of the trick one-off parts/mods that the S15 had. I took pics of most of the interesting things to me. Spent far too long lying under it checking out all the pimp Ikeya Formula parts. Uber sexy. Anyways, after a full day of waiting around for a practice for tomorrow's lunchtime demo Nob finally got....wait for it....1 lap! Gee
Thanks TOCA! Ah well. Spent most of the day watching some form of racing or another....Chilled in the Dunlop hospitality, VIP lounge and some other cool places...Oh and don't tell anyone but Paz stole Nob's apple and Mars bar! 
Enjoy the pics
Nob being shown the course in the Monaro course car
Ready
Final mirror check and Nob San's ready for the track. Was a great day hanging out with the master. Was impressed that he was willing to listen to my advice on drifting Brands' too. Very cool guy.
