no nobutero tamagotchi............therefore no HKS altezza, but theres's hope yet as its is dated as of 15th august. still ueno's soarer drift slag is going to be there!

[Monster-Mat]

ive heard a little insider infomation as to why he wont be there, but i am not going to publically post due to "legal" reasons

[OLI_EP3]

hmm. interesting I would have thought HKS would DEFFO want more publicity here in the UK as they do have a presence, unless HKS uk are using the the S15 with a UK driver?

[Andy_F]

Damn, that was one of the cars I really wanted to see. Oh well, theres still loads of other great cars and drivers. I can't wait for it after the taster at GT Battle.

[OLI_EP3]

Need to get Zee to sort it out! :)

Yeah the japanese D1 drivers rock - they could drift all day with their eyes closed....

Oh yeah latest jap option dvd features gtbattle, so expect the jdm option (international with engrish subs) to come out soon with that feature ;)

*****edit******

so not to get people wrong way

[Andy_F]

So surely then would he not be better protesting in one of the D1 rounds in Japan? I highly doubt the judges are going to be there anyway. Isn't that where most of the problem lies?

[lexus boy]

hes not protesting, just not invited

[Andy_F]

Oh I see, I totally mis-read that. All I know is about the disputes with the judging as of late.

[Monster-Mat]

sheesh, and here was me being diplomatic
