Whilst we were at the Utilitas (http://www.utilitas.co.jppurchasing our Land Cruiser FJ62 the boss, Ikegaya-san, invited us to join him in attending this year’s annual meetup of 60-series Land Cruiser owners. We, of course, took him up on his offer and agreed to go. We did feel a bit weird that whilst we do technically own a 60-series, we’d be turning up empty handed as our car was going to be at Utilitas for the next month having various bits and pieces attended to.

The weekend got off to an early start because we had to be in west Tokyo by 7am to meet Ikegaya-san. At 07:00 on the dot Ikegaya-san rolled up in his pristine red Land Cruiser FJ60 and we hit the road.
