Good find

 

Odiaba is great. The building in the background with lots of holes in it and a giant sphere is the HQ of Fuji-TV. The monorail you can see in some of the footage is fully automated, there isn't a driver so you can sit right up front - feels really wierd the 1st time.

so ur tellin me when i stepped outta tokyo airport onto the train there was no driver??? lol

 

good vid makes u wanna get sideways on the snow

 

wots the big white limo theyre using? is it a lexus equivalent toyota?

[rich5259]

The trains from the airport have a driver, just the monorail from Shimbashi to Odaiba is driverless

 

I think you are right about the white limo being a Toyota version of what we see here as a Lexus, so it may well have a 4.3litre V8 as the basic engine.

Did anyone ever watch Drift Style on Rush HD channel ?

 

it was the american version with tanner foust and his buddies, it was really good and the 350z's were always top positions
