Would be fun, I'm sure gents. Cooler weather's better though - summer's too hot to be outside much! Maybe come out during the Nismo festival, although the weather has been known to be crap that time of the year... TAS is fun, but Mick's seen that all before anyways... !

When you've made plans let us know and we'll be happy to help out with booking your hotel, etc. If you want a rental car that's easy to arrange too... I hear they rent R35 GT-R's now - could be a rumour only though mind

yep I know all about the heat Miguel, liking the idea of the R35 hire car

After spending the day at Brands Hatch setting up the Taisan yesterday I am looking forwards to the weekend. A few laps later in the day

Smokey 1 - your user name would suit you well here in Tokyo right now. At 9pm this evening 4 of us were sitting with gtrlux intending to chill at a cafe, but we could see steam coming off each other! Just rode home on a bike and arrived with my shirt all wet. Daytime it's a killer outside. Tokyo's a sauna right now...

Yeah he laps Brands Hatch in his Fiesta in 54's, 158 bhp but it does only weigh 875 kg's

Hope to see you up at Brands on Sunday dude, Harry Lamb said he will be going up as well.
