[Vettezuki]

Guy, I think he means not necessarily of car stuff, but of interesting sightings yo.For example,

Ron, where is that?

[Shaolin Crane]

I got it, i was being a smartass.

[94cobra69ss396]

Exactly. I meant more artsy type photos.

We hiked up the Icehouse Canyon trail in the Cucamonga Wilderness.

How hard is the hike? Could it be done holding my 30 pound 2 year old daughter for the majority of the hike? I'm tired of the CLAREMONT LOOP :(.

[94cobra69ss396]

That depends on you. My brother's family went with us so we had a 13, 11, 8, 7 and a 4 year old with us. The 4 year old hiked on her own.

[Vettezuki]

The 4 year old did the whole >7 mile trail up and down? Crikey.

[94cobra69ss396]

No, we only hiked up 1.6 miles to the Cucamonga Wilderness. But she did hike the total 3.2 miles.

These are just a few of my "Today's view from the office window" that I post regularly on my BaseFook.

That treehouse is awesome!

[Small White Car]

Yes it is. Somewhere in Sherman Oaks, off of Coldwater or Laurel Canyon, between Moorpark and the 101.

Lucky kids there, hope they appreciate it.

[mustangray]

here are some taken on my phone and one I even modified on the phone

[94cobra69ss396]

Nice. What mountain is that?

[mustangray]

Mount Rainier

[fiveohwblow]

Mount Rainier

You from Washington? Or were you just flying over?

[Shaolin Crane]

Ray is our international man of mystery business tycoon. He was probably parachuting on his way to look for his next car.

[mustangray]

Here are some more from my phone
Diamond head at dawn
my old car
and the Easter egg I made
and I was just flying over I was helping a friend do some work in Washington

[mustangray]

I didn't take this one I was just wondering if anyone seen one of these ?
if you do smash it quick! (it a spy drone)

[Shaolin Crane]

Call me crazy but i liked your PJ better :huh:

[mustangray]

I really liked the PJ too it's unfortunate that it was a POS you just gotta love Saleen build quality

Best Easter Egg ever.

[mustangray]

Best Easter Egg ever.

Thanks! I was allowed to make one and only one by the Niece and Nephew so that was it

[Shaolin Crane]

Why was the pj crap?

[mustangray]

Why was the pj crap?

Saleen cheaped out on parts for most of his builds, just bad quality you should look at the new stuff they aren't even trying to hide it any more. fit and finish is terrible.
but in my case it was suck up a qrt. of oil every 500 miles and it had rod knocks and random missfires and rebuild cost for that motor was $10,000. so it was time to go.

[Shaolin Crane]

Odd, interior being subpar is just a mustang thing. The engine thing is weird, usually the PJ mustang run hard. And i'm not sure who quoted you 10k for a rebuild on a 3v, Pacific Engine charges $1200...

actually the inter. was fine but check out the body panels on some of the new stuff . As for the engine PJ stroker 302's were very different from a stock 4.6. I looked into rebuilding it myself but it was getting close to that price in parts so thats when I said it's time to go

[Shaolin Crane]

Still dont see how it would be even remotely close to that. A 5.1l stroker doesnt even cost that kind of coin.

Here are some from our vacation last week.

Awesome pics!

I put this Derailers. Should have put them here.

Some pics from my recent trip to the home islands.

The ice ball in this Shochu is hand carved each day. It has no bubbles of any kind. The picture doesn't capture it, but it creates a kind of subtle and beautiful light effect.

Simply the best Soba I've ever had, by a mile.

Soba Shochu.

http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg298/Vettezuki/20121213_195347.jpg

A kind of Soba miso paste. Awesome!

A little video from the Shinkansen. Next time I'll get some video as they go through the station which is much cooler. Click through and go to YT for full screen if you want.

They didn't get lost, they were ignored because of how jelly I am. Might be time for a trip.

[Vettezuki]

Get outside of your head man. :)

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm seriously quite jealous. Every time I have money saved for a trip I use it for something sensible. My buddy Ken and I were supposed to go stay with his family for about a month when I was 18 and I ended spending the money on something else.

[Vettezuki]

I don't know about right now, but Japan recently had FREE flights to/from Japan for tourists. They were trying to raise domestic money from tourism to help with the Tsunami relief. I love Japan, it's a trip. Some Westernish looking stuff, but mostly quite different. Among my favorite things is simply that the Japanese are, bar none on this planet that I'm aware of, the best service oriented people around. Everything is polite, professional, and competent. Everyone cares about their job and takes it seriously, janitor, taxi driver, CEO, whatever.

[Shaolin Crane]

Shit, I wish I would have known. I would have been all over that.

[mustangray]

me too!

[Vettezuki]

Great little place in Cerritos. Legit.

Now I must walk to down to my sushi bar and one up you.

[Vettezuki]

Saw this carving today at a piano store where we were help a student pick out a piano. I just thought it was cool.

Where is that place?

[Shaolin Crane]

Bishamon Covina, CA

[Vettezuki]

Bishamon Covina, CA

Looks legit. Most sushi in CA is not very authentic, mediocre quality, and pointed at whitey. This looks legit at least. ;)

[Shaolin Crane]

Chef is Ken Okemura. 20+ Year family friend, masters in culinary arts, dedicated to traditional as well as innovative japanese food. Plus $25 AYCE for lunch.

[Vettezuki]

Sounds like one of the very few places around here I can leave it to the chef to choose; お任せします.

[Shaolin Crane]

Definitely. I don't even order anymore. I sit and he serves.

[Vettezuki]

I don't know if you know this series, but it's hysterical. Especially as my Japanese level increases I've started to catch some of the humor in the language itself. It's a clever mix of framing real culture in a humorous way.

[Shaolin Crane]

Does not look familiar. I havn't watched the japanese channels in a while. I was pretty addicted to "Dolche" when it was still on though.
