After my quick Christmas post below, Due to everyone telling me to, I'm finally doing a proper blog update. It's the end of 2008, so let's start by wishing everyone a very Happy New Year 2009. Another year over, and yet again time has gone VERY quickly. Where do I start, good and bad I guess as usual, but that's this crazy life we live. Personally it's not been the best year, but hopefully 2009 will make up for it. Car wise, it has been pretty good, but this year '09 im carrying on with my Hachi-Roku AE86. Here is a quick update on the '86...
Been plenty of racing and drift action, and have to say I'm loving it. I'm happy with the car side of things for now, so New Year 2009 will be focusing more on other things. Im taking a back seat from the spotlight and media of the Tuning Scene. To be honest I think everyone is, maybe its the quietness due to economy, but I think most just need a break to recharge and bring the tuning scene back to what it really is. You know, for me taking a break is probably not what most think. I just want a break from the media/coverage end of the scene, not the actual scene in general. So I guess you could say Im emerging myself more into the scene again, to enjoy and find the fun factor that we all used to have and get from cars and tuning. First stop is back to Japan, Tokyo Auto Salon, some business, see plenty of action, but mostly to unwind, recharge and enjoy time with friends, see some nice places, eat some great food and restore my faith in the world after an up/down 2008. This will be a very important time, so lets hope it goes well and is the beginning of something big. Remember, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. So let's see how things go. To then it's back from Japan for a short time here, hit up as many tracks as possible and race/drift action in the '86 and enjoy life some more. If you see me at Auto Salon or anywhere come over and say hello...Peace
Good luck to all in 2009, be healthy and happy! Talk soon..
