This past Saturday, I was invited to a get together for my friend Teramachi to celebrate his recent marriage. Teramachi actually drives this S13 I posted about way back, here. A few weeks ago he got 2nd place in the advanced class at the Meihan round of MSC. His car:
So the night turned into a huuuuge party and we had around 20-25 people, all drinking, talking, having a good time. At one point, I turned to my right and sitting next to me was Mr. Takatori, driver for the SA-Kyoto FD team (and former D1 driver). We talked for a while about FD and such…best of luck to him in Vegas!
It turns out all of these guys are into cars, and drive or used to…in fact I’m told a few of them used to complete with the likes of NOB and Orido back in the day. I guess a few of them are in those old DriftClub vhs tapes (before Doriten) and they often went to BM Hai comps..cool!
I also found a new favorite drink… Tantakatan Shiso Shochu:
After dinner, those who didn’t drink (and me since I wasn’t going to be driving) headed to Sasayama for some touge. We stayed for a good 4 hours, as it was raining people didn’t have to worry about tires (or making too much noise). It was a fun night indeed!
So a few weeks ago the guys at TF/Origin/Stance sent me some stuff along with my helmet I needed for the Rally…one of them was something I had almost forgot about completely…SPAM!
Of course no care package containing Spam can be left w/o sweet nothings written all over it!
So I had been hesitant to actually eat the Spam, only because..well..it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! But I decided that actually being inside me is where it belonged today. So I set out to re-create a typical lunch at Touge Factory….complete with thin, crispy slices if Spam covered in mass amounts of ketchup over a steaming plate of rice (damn that sounds good!)…..but as I was cooking the meat, I realized I was out of said rice so I was forced to improvise. I tossed an egg in there with some pepper and threw it all on some bread and gave it a healthy red gold covering. The end result:
It was quite good, but sadly my electric stove doesn’t get hot enough to really crisp the Spam to my liking. But I have 3/4 of a can left and I shall make it happen…a small gas burner may be in order. Oh and one for pic, just for Eric….EAT IT LIKE AN APPLE!
Thanks again Mike / Dave / Bruce / Earl / Mo / Scott !!!!
