Photos from Spoon HQ Japan.

[shonen]

Last year December I had the opportunity to tag along on a trip to Japan with Josh (Proconcept) to visit some friends and to drop by and say hello to the good people at Spoon HQ while we were there.


I borrowed my room mates (DanielSoAsianDVD) Canon 300D. Old but more then enough for a beginner like me !

Thought I would share these photos before I procrastinate too much !! lol

Tripod would have come in handy for a few shots.....




Outside of Type One

So what parts did you get? ;)

I like the S2K seat converted into a chair.

[shonen]

Didnt get any parts due to the poor exchange rate !


Yeah that chair was pretty comfy :)

I have to be honest, I never liked the full Spoon kit for the S2000.....until I saw it in real life. Pictures do not do this car any justice.


First some pics from downstairs.

This stock standard 98 spec DC2R is owned by a Japanese friend of ours and was our ride for the day. She picked us up from the airport and took us around for the day.

Finally, this was my favourate by far. Mainly because of the countless hours of driving it in Gran Turismo lol.

It was parked in the corner at the back of one of the assembly rooms so it was hard to get a good angle.

Hummers in Japan must be a rare site!

Don't mind the look of that Hi-ace in the background of the 34 picture. (Thinking of the potential for the work van)
