I saw these photos a few days ago and I knew as soon as they were published online I just had to link across to them. The photographer in question is Chris Willson from the website travel67.com, who’s cracking behind the camera and takes shots I could only dream of snapping. On his latest trip [...]
Made a few changes to the website over the past 24 hours, and hopefully it will make for a more enjoyable experience for everyone. They’re pretty subtle, but the more perceptive of you might notice the following: First off, the site fills up a little more of the screen. Gone are the days when 1024 [...]

Read this story at work and couldn’t stop laughing for a few minutes. The story revolves around Ichiro Ozawa (see right), former LDP politician who then defected to the DPJ where he was president for a year (the usual duration a leading Japanese politician stays in office) before resigning from his post due to a [...]
For the first time in a while I have some diving to report, and for the first time in even longer, some dive instruction. Last weekend I was chatting to a couple of my friends and they were saying Okinawa is great, but they’d done everything there was to do. I instantly called their bluff [...]
Well huge props to ImaKethings and MJR for help with the clutch swap. Am confident that without them I’d still be looking up at the transmission, confused, wondering how the hell I’m even gonna start taking it out. Think even if I’d somehow managed to get the mission off, the 54mm flywheel nut that greeted [...]
Sad news to report in this update, from the hot and humid shores of Okinawa. On Thursday a 58-year old Okinawan dive instructor was killed in the north of the island after being stung by a stonefish. This marks the first death in Okinawa from a stonefish in over 27 years and any death in [...]
Summer is well and truly here in Okinawa, with the temperatures rising and the sun shining. Checked the weather report at 9am this morning and was told that it was 31°C but that it felt “like 36°C”. Thankfully the humidity was only 70% and a sea breeze coming through my apartment managed to keep me [...]
Public Service Announcement: If your brake rotor looks like this it is not a good sign: You can also play “spot the messed up wheel spacer” with today’s post: Yeah, not good. Please don’t ask as I don’t really want to go into it! But it’s back together and mobile just about. The rotor [...]
Saw this link about half an hour ago posted up in a forum I frequent, and as soon as I watched the presentation I knew I had to post it up on my site so more people would have the chance to see it. The photographer is called Brad Kremer and the video/picture presentation is [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but I drove my 1991 FC3S RX-7 home today from the garage after being inspected and registered. Yes, I am finally road legal and ready to roll. You’ve got to love Okinawa: maybe the only place in Japan where cracked tyres and stuck brakes don’t cause a fail in [...]
