I’ve been to Saitama a few times.

It has been 3 years since I was last here and Suenaga-san took the day off. Once I arrived I was surprised to see an Estima at his place.

And then the unthinkable happened. I’ve become an Estima owner.

I also checked on my Suzuki Carry that he gave me 3yrs ago. I don’t know the process of bring a car over, but now I have resources to help me do so.

This day was an adventure because we went to a few different places.

 

The shop

I have never been to his shop and it wasn’t near his house. So it was a good drive down the highway.

 

Once we arrived, I looked around with amazement.

 

As we were headed to Hard off (used tool shop) we came across some abandoned cars. This looked like a tuning shop probably a while back.

 

This looks like a Diana kit… and it’s been sitting here for 10yrs.


We reached Hard Off where I got some JIS screwdrivers.


While I didn’t take pictures, We stopped by Truck Shop Jet in Hanno.

 

and lastly, A Hobby Off where I bought some toys.

It was great to see my brother again and I will see him sooner than later!
