I can't seem to find the thread where we originally talked about this.
What does everyone's travelling plans look like?

If you haven't ruled out going, let me know ASAP. Our hosts are planning how we are going to get from place to place and we need to have good numbers.

Don't let the lack of recent postings throw you. We are planning this on a daily basis and most of the information is backchannel.

Still trying to get a schedule for your trip Friday.
I will be thru my meetings sometime around noon and am thinking about keeping my original agenda and heading for Narita and home or possibly joining y'all and heading back Sat.
Let me know if you have a hard itinerary as of now.

Friday reads something like this
10am plant tour
11:30am departure for Motegi and lunch
2pm arrival at Motegi
4pm departure from Motegi
Dinner in Tokyo

This is the latest I have.

JGSS2K,

I would certainly like to tour the S2000 factory myself, but the dates you are going is probably out of the question. If it were in August, then I could swing it.

The owner of my dealership toured the factory last year and was quite impressed. The S2000 really is hand-built. As I recall his comments, the factory is a small 2-story building in which the NSX is also built, thus the limited production capability. The car goes up an elevator to the 2nd floor for painting, and then back down where workers push the car along to the next assembly point.

I wish we could purchase a video tour for those who cannot go in person or take a streaming video tour on the WEB.

Yeah, if they have a video of the plant tour, would you buy one for me?? I really want to go in person, but my job got in the way.

Thanks.

John
