TAS 2013 (72 of 80) If you've been following my blog for a long time, then you know when I do an event coverage, there will be more than 1 part to it. But that's just me, not how my blog's contributors do there event coverages. Charles was actually digging through his SD card to see if he had more photos from Tokyo Auto Salon 2013 and luckily, he found some that weren't posted in our part 1 coverage of TAS 2013. If part 1 was favored by many of you guys, then I guarantee you will enjoy part 2. To start it off, here are two powerful beauties from the kick off of D1GP.


  TAS 2013 (1 of 80)Before I take you guys to the opening of D1GP, let's start with the parking lot. Charles enjoys checking out the cars there as if he was inside a convention center checking out a show. Unlike events here in the US, you won't be able to spot sick rides like the ones in Japan. Seems like this Mark X is slammed on BBS RSs.
