Aqualine
BigFoot and I braved the Tokyo Streets again last night. After losing each other for an hour due to me taking a wrong turn,  we finally ended up driving at healthy speeds in a 5 km long tunnel under Tokyo bay. 
After popping out of the tunnel right bang smack in the middle of Tokyo Bay on a man-made five story parking island called "Sea Firefly" we had a second go at taking some photos. Still very average, but better than our last attempt, if I may say so myself!

Many thanks BF for a very enjoyable drive

Re: Aqualine
Thanks to you Aaron, it was great fun. I had such a rush after the drive I couldn't sleep till 2.30am this morning!
Guess how many cups of coffee I've had so far
The best part of the drive was this one though :
After our first "run" under the Aqualine Tunnel, I tell Aaron jokingly "don't go too fast on the way back" and he goes "well, I am tired and won't take my bella too fast". I say, "sure thing".
The minute we get on the bl00dy tunnel, I hear the Busso v6 screaming and he takes off at ... well, considerably faster than he was before

Good point. Too many pictures of the gorillas at the zoo on the weekend... One of them was born in the same year AND the same city as my wife, so couldn't resist snapping away.... talk about mileage too!

Re: Aqualine
Sorry BF : It's just such a recognised bouncey full squat, is the trade mark of Top Sumo's. Didn't realise you had a problem thus? 
I'm fortunate I guess, in so much as even at my advanced age, I can still demonstrate one as a 'party piece' which winds some of the younger family members up, I can tell you! : Great piccies anyway. :

Re: Aqualine
I like the excuse for coming home late: "took a wrong turn" - that sounds so lame coming from a GTA driver - who's going to believe you?

Re: Aqualine
is that the tunnel that turn into a bridge over the bay? I was there last year and I thought it would be fun to blast through the tunnel with a V6 and have the windows down. should be out in Japan again in Novemeber.

Re: Aqualine
Hey Aaron, Did you by chance happen to put the wrong shoes on before you and BF went on your drive? They look a little like womens slip ons... Just an observation
