Overall both cars are very nice! I'm sure you'll win a lot of shows with the doluck the color itself would be a winner in my book.

How the heck did you get your hands on a demo car?

I'm trying to track down the ATS-BMS Matsaurayama <Spelling demo car in Japan... I contacted ATS direct and they were not able to help me of getting the ATS-BMS kit or know the whereabouts of the demo car.



Anyone know the notoriety of the ARISTO overall in Japan? Did they match up to the Skyline, Supra, Soarer, Silva as far as recognition for a high performance car? Just want to get a sense whether this car will some day have equity. The JZS147's are getting harder to find but the OE parts can be acquired but man, even with discounts the parts are very expensive!

I fired pm back to you with my email address for those pix.

But im sure you've all seen the many issues of Hyper rev with aristos right ?
To me that says baller status with as many cool rides as there are in each issue.

I need a photo editor! all my pictures were taken with a 10 mega pix digital camera but my scaler and editor screw up the picture quality and with limitations of file uploads in CL I can't post. Time to cash in some trump cards and get me a copy of photoshop. I'm doing it later today! so Pic's will soon come.

Speak to this guy. So far he has managed to get three or four demo cars (endless and trial supras I know of from the mk4supra board in UK) and is in a few weeks going over to Japan to meet some more of the big hitters (this time at top secret I think) as their VIP guest. He has an incredible knack of finding very special cars. The two aristo's I have had and the widebody one Michel lane has (that when side by side with the do-luck really outshines the do-luck).
I was also offered the veilside supra fortune demo car from veilside but mechanical issues put me off that.
He imports cars for alot of non UK buyers now admittedly European still but if anyone can find the car you are looking for its him.
