Twice a year, maybe thrice, I get to wear what the clothes were built for

She’s here! Last week must’ve been bare busy. Just wanna say a huge shout out to Graeme for getting this and the repair back quickly.

@Matt hahaha it’s good to listen to the devil once in awhile..

@tody its still there but it isn’t as obvious as before given the darkening of the leather through aging

@DrPat i can’t seem to remember where that spot was, and I can’t find it on the jacket now. So I’m probably gonna say it’s disappeared..

onwards to OGL/ Rugged Gentlemen Shoppe to pick up my red wings I sent off for resoling by Dr.Sole.

made use of the studio to take some photos of a jacket and of course, a fit pic.

Took a photo before I left while waiting for it to get pimped

just had this oiled a couple weeks ago..

well I hope there's something to show. not much going on at the moment. daily ride to work takes the first snapshot of this leg..

@Bridger you can get tickets from F1’s website or the Japanese site for Suzuka circuit

https://ticket.mobilitystation.jp/

They do mention you need a Japanese address, although I didn’t have issues this year. I have my Japanese mate on standby when I book tickets just to be safe.

In 2023 when I booked, the physical tickets were sent to her mom’s place and we picked them up on the way down to Nagoya from Kobe. But seems like this year they’re going digital, which is a bummer if you’re one of those that like memorabilia.

2023 I sat on the S curves, which was about 48,000 jpy. This year we wanted the high stands in section B over looking turns 1 and 2 but that was sold out pretty quick. So we’re at the end of the start finish straight just before turn 1 and 2 this year. This ones cost about 79,000jpy. New location, so excited to see what’s it like.

@Bridger yeah I have, but in 2023, that race was in September. This year will be my first in april. The Japanese fans are amazing and the most expressive when it comes to showing their support.

Bad thing about the clash with cherry blossom is that the prices for hotels and stuff tend to be sky high in Tokyo and major cities.

That said, we’re staying in Nagoya again for the F1. And heading back to Tokyo for a week after. It will take about an hour to get to the circuit. The small town near the circuit have accomodation too but they get booked out a year in advanced by teams and media and could be hard to find availability.

If you wanna know more, do message me. I can share more info

@Bridger nah this was the year I only had walkabout tickets. there's a place where you can go to wait for the drivers and team to arrive and enter the paddock. caught and took photos with a few drivers and karun chandhok as well.

the singapore gp is worth the experience at least once. night race, you could do walkabout tickets (cheapest option) or be at one of the stands with a guaranteed seat. you can also choose if you wanna go for either of the 3 days or for all 3 days, which is pretty flexible. but price wise, Suzuka will be my best pick.

heading there in a month for the GP

Good man

The wabash goes to Sepang Internatioanl Circuit but sadly doesn’t make it on track..

@NickD yes. depending on the type of road and the amount you're over by. at some stage the fines are based of your income.

a3 to m25 junction gets on my nerves every time after leaving gosport. wonder if that shit show has been completed

@goosehd in other news, just head for the border or stay away from the city and stick to the mountain passes..

@Giles that lagonda rapide on that list would be nice!!

@Giles same thoughts

@goosehd yeah I read that the Swiss bureaucracy is a bitch to navigate. technically, they've already knocked 5km/h off. for what it's worth, I've compared Waze to most new cars digital speedo and the tolerance is 1km/hr.

it's quite an improvement from the traditional dials
