Posted a few posts, but probably should have posted an intro first. I recently purchased a new Subaru Sambar truck in Tokyo. I live just outside the larger Tokyo area, but use the truck for hauling my bikes or for the building work i am doing out on my land in Yamanashi. I had actually been looking at a used truck for around $7000 which had the supercharger, 4WD, central locking and electric windows. My wife is Japanese and she did the comms for me. The dealer told her for a few grand more he could sell her a new truck. I was stupid and did not ask the questions I normally would, so ended up without the SC or central locking or electric windows, still it was about $1500 below the list price so not too bad. Might do some upgrades down the road. Here is a picture.
Welcome to the forum! Nice truck. Seeing those concrete ditch covers on the ground brought back lots of memories. Throw up some more pics of your area.
What part of Yamanashi? Our top secret Yokohama Motors BBQ testing grounds are located in Kawaguchiko. If you want to test that truck climbing beer can hill your welcome to join...lol Cheers, Don Store: www.yokohamamotors.net Main: www.yokohamamotors.com Yokohama, Japan
Nirasaki. There is a small track called Sportsland Yamanashi and i have some land nearby. The Chuo is my "top speed" test ground for the Sambar Beer can hill sounds interesting. Would like to try it some time but have a race in late October so most of my weekends are tied up with practice.
The shutters are at the back of my office building. Not much to see there other than a concrete jungle. But i`ll post a few images of Japanese countryside.......... Out in Yamanashi
Yes, Beautiful Photos! Thanks for sharing...please post more of the landscape if you have time! What brand of rim are those? 13x4.5"? Looks like volks, but I'm betting they are knock off because volks are $$$!
