Well we have it! Three months after putting down the deposit we went last Saturday to pick it up. She is utterly amazing; with lots of new shiny bits. We’ve taken her for a couple of trips around the block, at one point accidently going down some very narrow residential streets which was a bit nerve wrecking.
Yesterday we decided that, with only a one month warranty, we should take her for a longer drive so set off to see Fuji-san. I’ve decided that we should take lots of photos of the car in front of iconic Japanese views. At some point we will try getting a picture on the Shibuya crossing; in front of Tokyo Tower; by some cherry blossom; Torii gates….etc
Her name(s) by the way are based around the character Totoro (From the Studio Ghibli animation; My Neighbour Totoro).
Tots, Totty or To chan (which translates as Father even though chan is an affectionate term for girls). I’ve been mostly calling her Totty.


Love the name!
looking forward to a little journey in it too at some stage, hint hint.
The back seats are now out unfortunately, but you’re welcome to lie down with me in the back 😉 Love, Clare x
