Default Recent trip to Japan - Heavy Honda content

Hey guys, I'm from the UK but thought I'd share my pictures from my recent trip, even if they are all taken on my iPhone.

This one has been on the bucket list for a fair while, I went with two good friends and Honda enthusiasts, I had an amazing time and saw some of the best Honda's in the world. So for those interested I am pulling together a bit of a novice blog. It includes about 40% of Honda related activities so far, I have a lot more trawling to do but will keep it updated.

Some examples:

Appreciate the appreciation guys! And yes it's awesome it's like an active museum and the cars don't need recommissioning! The next chapter will include my trip to Motegi, just finished my trip to Spoon & Type One.

Thanks again for the kind responses all, I appreciate that sharing my experience is being appreciated. It was genuinely a trip of a life time. I have just completed my trip to the Honda Collection Hall & Twin Ring Motegi, NA2-R in the wild too.

Checked out the blog, nice pictures, was curious about this hatch. You said "Captiva EG6 equipped with rare Enkei BBR compettion wheels and Osaka JDM front wings." Can you elborate on what "Osaka JDM front wings" are? There seem to be no shots of the front of it.

Ah, in the UK we use the term "wings" as in front wings or quarter panels as opposed to fenders, so yeh, extended fenders I guess to you US guys.
