      @@sayyanhmuong737 Here in Utah, we got Stradman, who has become a wreck of a person to meet in real life. I met him in public trying to film a car, and he told me that if I didn't leave, they were going to call the cops because it was a supposed private event in the public parking lot. This guy seems more genuine and real.

    As a sailor who was stationed in Yokosuka and Sasebo it was the highlight of my year to attend the Salon, cruise Daikoku, Akihabara, Ropongi, the tunnels and freeways and in the south we ran the mountains and coast roads. I had an ‘88 Fairlady Z turbo (90-93)then upgraded to a ‘91 GT-R (94-97). It’s the people and culture I miss the most, now all these years later through coincidence my neighbors on both sides are Japanese and I couldn’t be more content.

    Hi Larry, great video as always. The Martini Liveried car near the start is an Ultima. British designed car done by Lee Noble who went on to start Noble Cars. Fun fact. An Ultima was purchased and used as a test mule for the McLaren F1.

    • @michaelsummerell8618
      @michaelsummerell8618 Před 5 měsíci +2

      It's surprising how little known the Ultima GTR seems to be. I guess both Ultima and Radical are low volume niche UK manufacturers that although they produce road going cars, I guess those cars are pretty hardcore and more like track day weapons than for regular driving.

    • @michaelsummerell8618

      What's the GMA T50 got to do with this? Yes it's also from a low volume British manufacturer, but totally different company than Ultima and Radical, and the T50 is a very different sort of car. It's the Ultima GTR which can be seen in this video with the Martini livery.

Had the best time ever.

    Hey Larry. Wonderful video. It a dream of mine to visit Daikoku PA. The Martini liveried car in the video is a British kit car called the Ultima GTR. It has a tubeframe chassis with Fibre glass body that is loosely based on the idea of a grp C or IMSA prototype. They can be built with a variety of engine configurations of one's choice. Very popular is to build them with a GM or Ford v8 but as I've mentioned anything goes as long as one can make it work, we even had a guy here in South Africa build 1 with an Alfa v6 twin turbo and then years later swop that out for a Lexus v8 if my memory serves me correctly . They were even available as a turnkey car from the Ultima factory in the UK. This example is an absolute stunner in the Martini livery. These Ultimas were really and are still really impressive so much so that they can give more prominent supercars a real whipping when raced. Anyway. I love your work. Keep it up.
