Hi Guys

I did introduce myself a few months ago under a thread with the same name
but thought I would you a few vids as well this time of my car life in Tokyo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmV5h...D7CE8C&index=0

If you click on "more from this user" you can see a few more vids!

Enjoy!

iraghava · 29th August 2007, 12:34

Nice vids Porky! Now were you doing some illegal speeds in the video?

iraghava · 29th August 2007, 12:55

P.S. You wife seems to be really enjoying the ride in the Lambo! And damn, they are really narrow roads to be driving a 4S on!!

saumil · 29th August 2007, 17:58

Good vidz porky...

Porky · 29th August 2007, 23:47

Thanks for the comments. My wife drove the Lamborghini - not many 25 years old women get to drive such cars and I am no kidding she loved it! She has been / driven everything from Boxsters to Ferrari's and the only car "loved" was the Lambo.

I am very cautious about speeding and would never do it in an environment that could risk lives - honestly. In the 4S when i saw the bike, I really slowed down and later on I had to drive at like 50 km because of the bikes in front of me.

Well your wife's a lucky woman!

I could see that in the video Porky, and my comment was not about your driving (which was fantastic btw!), it was just a general comment on how narrow that 2-lane road was with absolutely no run-off space.

Guess, this being Japan I should have expected that. Just that I'm still waiting to visit Japan so don't know the conditions first hand, yet.

Wow the lamborghini gear changes were fantastic. nice videos. drive safe man!

Porky · 30th August 2007, 05:38

Thanks Iraghava. You are right the roads are very narrow. On the video where I drive from standstill to quite a fast speed on the motorway the lane is very narrow indeed. On some of the mountain roads the road looks like ONE lane but is in fact two!!! I am not kidding, it is quite scary.
