Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Not feeling the stoke here, guys. At least tell me the asphalt is bottomless or something. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Tons of asphalt here this morning Metabo. In fact, they are laying more outside as I speak!! Or write. Up to 11C today, up to 14C tomorrow by the looks. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 And... it's smelly! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Here's something, for people going to Marunuma Kogen: they have a new tunnel opening soon, which will cut out most of the winding curves between there and Numata. So one can get to and from the beloved Kan-Etsu more quickly and with less chance of car-sick passengers. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 White World Oze too etc. When does that open? It should cut out 10-15 minutes or so perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I actually like that drive when there's no-one else in front. It's awful when you get stuck behind trucks and people going 20kmh though! Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Looks like it is opening Nov. 22. Scenic, sure, but with a car-sickness-prone kid on board it can get a bit smelly. (Which just adds to the stoke, of course, but is a bit kawaisou for the kid.) Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Mate of mine went up to Asahidake today for some x-country skiing on the trails there. Looks reasonably busy and icy after the rain! Link to post Share on other sites

If only they'd drill a tunnel through to the Tochigi side that could remain open year-round. That would rock. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It actually got up to almost 10oc in the sun today here, although back below freezing now. I washed and polished my car today, so it is bound to rain or snow or do something, as normally seems to happen after I clean my car. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I've never understood why people wash their car! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 My car cost 4 million yen cash price brand new so of course I am going to clean it and look after it plus I hate a dirty car. My old work truck on the other hand maybe gets a wash once a year if its lucky. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 That's true muika. After nearly 3 years even I'm considering that we need to possibly vacuum the inside of the car out. Rain is fine for the outside though! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yep us brits like washing our cars. But it must also be a Japanese thing because you hardly see dirty cars on the road as they wash them all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
