Rotary Expo
I had the chance to attend a Rotary Expo at the Transportation Museum in Hiroshima. It was primarily "old school", so I know a few in the West will like some of the pics:

In the parking lot on the way in...

My second visit to fujita engineering (feed)
Some pics from my recent trip to Fujita Engineering (FEED) in Osaka. My wife managed to erase all the pics from my last visit.

Anyway, on to some pics:

As you pull into Fujita, you see lots of FDs in different states of disarray...

I forgot to post the rear of the white FD.


And I see I double posted the Spirit R plate on the firewall. I meant to post a pic of his thick V-mount...
