新東名高速道路

December 11th, 2012

The day we drove from Miyagi precture (Sendai) to Tokyo and then to Kansai (Osaka). It was the last day of being a teenager. Arriving in Tokyo we spent the evening to an awesome western dinner in Shibuya with good friend Park. It was then time to set route for Osaka. Slowly making our way down the Tomei Expressway we thought we’d change the route to see Fuji under the moonlight and headed directly across to the Shin Tomei Expressway which runs directly parallel. The best road I’ve ever driven on and probably will ever drive on. It was only very recently built, this year in fact and runs for 253.2km. No sign of traffic, super clear Spring night with Fuji-San shining it’s snow-capped glory under the moonlight. Cutting through mountains end on end and witnessing some amazing cars. Best times, something I’ll never forget, spent with a car full of best friends x

Rolling RAUH-WELT

September 27th, 2012

Here is another shot of a RWB rolling along the Expressway en route for Idlers at Tsukuba Circuit. A few months ago I posted this front angle of the same car you can see it here. Always puts a smile on my face seeing cars to this seriousness rolling along main roads without any looks from ongoing people. It’s one thing to see the RWB cars inside the workshop or at the race track for that matter however I think it was best to see it rolling along the expressway x

Japanese Sunsets

July 26th, 2012

This is the メイシン 高速 Meishin Expressway. It runs for 193.9kms precisely between Osaka and Kobe which is in the Hyogo Prefecture. Whether we were driving to or from an event or just on a road trip in general this is where we found ourselves the majority of days during the sunset. In so many ways it was great. With Japan being a non-stop craze it was one of the very few times you were out of the cities, could actually witness the unbelievable gradients the sun produces at this time of the day and cruising along some of the finest roads in the world. Starting to really miss Japan. Hoping to get back over there for a few weeks just before Christmas. Casey x
