Seen some really sexy WRXs and Civic Type Rs here in Japan, people go on about how polite and docile and well mannered Japanese are but then you think about the souped up cars coming out of the country and yeah. It turns out everyone is fanging it, even the grannies in their cubeshaped kei cars, let alone the guys in their real speed machines.

I realise that we have an extremely different car and road culture in Aus and it's mostly because there are too many angry dickheads who simply cannot be trusted in Aus sadly. Lots more grey areas around road rules in Japan but it all seems to work...

They truly are my kind of people!
