Oh my....
First , this is nothing to do with production of the LFA.
Well I was just talking to my dealer about how things are progressing with the LFA and how they will be allocated. Well there is still no news on that front. We got talking about a test and if it would be possible, well.... Dealers over here are all invited to drive new models as they come out at Fuji Raceway and they go through an orientation of all the new features ect, ect. So I asked the Dealership manager if it would be possible to get an invite for customers(me) to test drive the LFA when it debuts. To make a long story short I was told that I may be able to get a drive of the production LFA at Fuji Speedway if all goes well. The manager said that in the past customers have driven newly announced cars in the past and since I am the first to ask for a test drive at Fuji at my dealership.
You can test drive any car, but at a racetrack with Pro drivers there to asist you, I am actually pretty stoked about this.
"Anyway, thats all I have to say about that...."  ( Forrest Gump)

No problem. I don't see why they would not allow cameras, I mean it will have been officially released by then, unless they have contracts with the media which is a good possibility.

He,he... I am just hoping the big man is there, I would love to have a conversation with him. I would ask him to get a CL account and get some real world opinions to help him with future car choices.

Man if you could meet with Akio Toyoda that would be the most awesomist thing in the whole world...I'm sure you're very fluent with Japanese. 主語なし
