Toyota Crown Picnic, Yokohama, Japan Nov 20 2005 Sun, 30 January 2005 23:20 Go to next message
OK deadly serious here.

I am arranging time off work to attend this year's 16th Crown Picnic in Yokohama Japan.
It is going to be held at the Yokohama Grand Palace Hotel on November 16 2005. I figure on going there a week before, do a bit of halfcut shopping, maybe buy an MX41 and visit the Crown Classic shop (also in Yokohama).

Would anyone be vaguely interested in heading over?

This will also be posted on the Classicrown website.

Oh and here's a sample of what you'll get to see:

sweet temptation stay away from me!!! Shocked

Serious consideration will be going into this! I have been thinking about a "sourcing" trip to Japan to make a few contacts, and this would be the perfect excuse!

Dave you Bastard !

I would love to accompany you on the treck but unless there is an unscheduled lotto win in my favour then as close as I'll get is the pics you bring back.

We are actually hopeing to hold our own Crown picnic this year as a follow on from last years Crown Cruise. Once the new board is elcted we can finalise its details so those of us stuck here duringthe main event can still have a weekend of Crownies Smile

A flight to Tokyo, then a connection to Yokohama.

I was figuring some cheapish (by Japanese standards) hotels - see if there are any deals going.

I was hoping that by being incredibly polite, looking totally helpless and carrying a Japanese phrase book I might be right.

I have been chatting to some Crown collectors in Yokohama in broken English and they say the Crown Picnic is the place to be. They want to come down to the All Toyota Day at some stage....so I linked them up to the ToyNats site instead.... Laughing

and I quote one of them:
Quote:

In Japan is very rare to see so many extreme conversion...

I have already sent them pics of the various Crowns here.

They're actually amazed that Crowns have a following at all outside Japan and seem to be blown away by the fact that there are guys doing conversions and even racing them!
