Visiting K-Staff in Japan
My recent Japan trip was great, I had a chance to go to Tokyo area so I thought it was a good idea to say hi to Mr Tsuji, the owner of the K-staff. We've met few times in the past, I have to say he's such a nice guy. As soon as I met him, he took me to show that SVX, the one with only 200mi on the clock...when I went inside I could smell the real new car smell. He fired up the engine for me as well. Sounded so smooth. This is his treasure, the price tag is fake, he has no plan to sell to anybody.
After that we had good time chatting, having lunch, but unfortunately I had a plane to catch so I had to leave... Thanks to Mr Tsuji, I really had a good time!

I think they wash their cars almost everyday, that's why the wipers are up for drying. Or, some do that to avoid the dust building up in between the wipers and the window.
