It's a little car that caught my eye when I was at the Honda Collection Hall at the Twin-Ring Motegi circuit in Japan.
If you (anyone) can guess what it is I might show more

Interestingly, there used to be a very popular City Turbo racing class in Japan. The racecars were fitted with a revised camshaft, an upgrade exhaust, injectors and copped a massive 22 psi of boost. Quarter mile times of around 13.5-seconds are claimed for these little fliers!
In a bizarre twist, an Australian entrepreneur purchased these ex-racecars hoping to continue the series locally. This idea never eventuated, though, as the cars were buried in an earthquake while being stored in Japan!

Hello all. 
It was nice to meet up today and have a bit of a chat - weather was cracking which helped a lot.
I look as though I'm holding my head on in pic five!!
You must really want a Silverstone (faster one) Neil Amanda, my car is on every pic that you took.
You must have really took your time going home as well - never saw you after we pulled out of the pub; then again you probably had to drive slowly to preserve the contents of your stomach I guess - seeing how you wanted me to turn around after having a run in the '04 for about a minute...
Will see you all on the next one no doubt.
Wayne.

And yes, let it be known that having a big meal + getting in a car with Wayne 15 minutes later is not good for your stomach
I'm becoming a terrible passsenger now anyway - must be something to do with getting old
