Fumio's car has just clicked over 50 000 km. He has owned the car for 14 years and it
is regularly serviced by Toyota, Tokyo, every 3 months. Toyota recognise the car as being
very special and they encourage Fumio to drive the UZZ32 for as long as possible. Toyota
have told him they can keep the car in top shape for another 10 years easy. Despite the
increasing costs of owning an older car in Japan, Fumio would still rather drive his UZZ32
Soarer than get a new car. Fumio's car can regularly be seen in the Shinigawa Bullet train
carpark. Fumio describes himself as a typical Sunday driver - the photo below is in front
of Mt Fuji. |
