Got a rare day off whilst over in Japan working (It's a good ol' fashioned jolly if I'm honest) so decided to visit the Toyota Automotive Museum. Some nice cars there, mostly a lot of new technology demo's etc. I thought about giving up until a saw this out of the corner of my eye......

My faith now restored I continued round and found a couple of weird things like this....

The gorgeous looking (in my opinion anyway) Toyota 86 was there too....

But my favourite was this....

Spent about half an hour walking round in all. Not bad considering its free to enter. There is a Motorsport Exhibition in Nagoya which i will hopefully have time to visit before I return to the UK which has got F1 cars, Indy cars, NASCAR cars etc.

I was never sure about the FT-86 as it looked quite bland compared to the concept photos that were shown everywhere. But up close and personal it is a very VERY nice car. The interior is above and beyond nice which i find impressive as every Toyota i've owned has been quite plasticy in that area. The LF-A though is just an awesome car to behold, stunning from every angle. I would've driven it out but it was on its own little stand, cordened off and security was a little 'tight' lol.
