Talking My SC featured in japanese magazine

Well the japanese special edition magazine called "The Lexus File" from Autofashion should be hitting the japanese newstands soon.

My whole family had fun on the photoshoot and interview which took about four hours. a lot of the shots were taken in Old Sac.

I was honored to be in the same company as Larry Dentice's beautiful Turbo SC430, the car is truly amazing

Special thanks to Masato Tsukada for his words and arranging everything and Shu Tokonami for his skill with a camera (Tokonami-san...sorry about your sunglasses that fell off when you were taking those freeway pics)

Here are some pics of my car from the magazine.

Jeff your car looks nice........ Is that your wife on the cover?

What are the other screen names of the CL members. I picked up this issue 2 weeks ago and been meaning to ask who's who.

All the cars look great.

COngrats bro!!

What mods are on your car? By looking at the pics I can only see rims and a soarer badge. I am assuming you have coilovers as well.

Thanks

actually that summed it up at that time...chrome custom drilled Brabus Monoblock IIIs (thanks Lonely Toothbrush) JDM badging...hmmm come to think of it I wonder why they even picked me...oh well I had a blast and I have since added Injen Intake and Blitz Realize TT Exhaust...more to come...

After they saw your cute kids they said we need to get this guy in our story.

My woman was looking at the magazine she said "how cute" your kids are....... I agree. They picked your car cause its a Lexus its not about how many Mods you have. The VIP mags do the same thing its not about how many Mods folks have its about the love of the car & those reading the magazines want to see new cars/faces.

Congrats again.
