Can't offer any help or advice, but just needed to say: YOU LUCKY BAR-STEWARD!!!
Have a great time and I hope you get to see some really cool stuff. Having said that...it's almost guaranteed you will in Tokyo.
We will need pictures BTW....LOTS of pictures ;D ;D

Lucky man - I think on short notice like that - get onto Noriyaro blog adn others and do some digging..... they'll know of anything in the next days and won't have a problem helping out I'm sure. If you do get him/them - tell him to get on RR  Best of luck...... |

I hear the convenience stores are a must visit once you're in Tokyo and also Up Garage stores too. So much I want to do 'when' I visit Tokyo... gotta hit up the Harajuku district too.

Super Autobacs in Tokyo Bay is pretty cool and Lindberg bookshop upstairs is a must for mags!   |

A few hours in Harajuku will have your eyes out on stalks. I spent ages atop a bridge there with my SLR while the girls I was with went shopping down Takeshita Street. Merc SLRs, Lambos, an RM bus, umpteen aircooled 911s and a few G-Wagon convertibles were just some of the highlights. If you're into aircooled VWs, Flat 4 is well worth a visit. Ostensibly it's a shop, but in reality it's probably the best museum dedicated to California Look VWs in the entire world. It's four stops from Shibuya on the Toyoko-Something line and across the road from Meguro Audi which will probably have some rather nice R8s sat outside...

Your in the most technology advanced country in the world! I bet their throw away point and click camera's are about as good as a dslr camera! But I'm mega jealous! I really really really need (not want! neeeeeed) to go!

Hi Folks Thanks very much for the suggestions - they are really helpful. Maybe I might stretch to buying a camera here. |

I reckon you should get some work done, we're not keeping you on the books to prat around taking photos of old cars.
