Default Trip to Nagano, Japan... car meet capital of the world

My wife, our canine crew, and I traveled recently to the Nagano area in Japan?cnot in the Z, but in my wife?fs new Mazda MPV (no flames, please --..she previously had a Nissan Pathfinder).

Primary purpose was to attend the Japan Police Dog Competition ?c since my wife is training our shep.

While we were there, we ran into 3 car meets that were taking place in the area along with seeing any number of Lotus?fs, Ferraris, and a few Covettes and even some Z?fs..

1/ A Lamborghini meet?c I counted 25 Diablos and Murcielagos running in a row running a mountain course (sorry .. no pictures?c I was so excited watching them come one-after-another, I forgot to take one).

2/ An Alfa Romeo meet

3/ A Suzuki Cappuccino meet

4/ A French car meet?cold-new-sedans-sports-racing cars ?c about 300 cars from Renault, Peugeot and Citroen. The number and types of cars were simply amazing.


A picture of the area....

And.... some sightseeing... This is a two lane road coming down a mountain. Luckily, the bus was leading... which meant a lot of cars coming up the mountain -- had to reverse and pull off...

Nice picks mang, although I did notice something a little strange in one of them.
