Two Guys, a Girl and a Team Name

I ponder the question "Can you have an awesome experience without an awesome team name?" I am of the personal opinion of no. So we have been set the challenge of finding a team name that suits our group dynamic. So what name would you suggest for a short asian, a tall white women and a small little blonde tag along... After some brain storming we came up with the following 

Team Tampon - Stuck Up C*nts
The boys in their brilliance feel that this is the best name for a team, sadly I do not so much agree with their sentiments. While its guise is clever, the connotations not so much. I can see the general populous coming to the general consensus that as the only female in the group there must be some disturbing story pertaining to tampons and my existence. And jokes about  menstruation aren't funny - Period. Though in saying that a white car with a string hanging off the tow hook would in some ways be amusing, I will give you that

Team Bad Touch - It Never Happened 
This team name was suggested by Derek. The general idea is that by the time we are finished with you, you will be sitting in the bottom of the shower and wishing to never mention it again. I stand by my excuse that the beer made me do it (yes all of it). If Japan did not want me to ravage it they wouldn't sell large cans of Beer for 300Yen at ever 7/11. If you ask me, they are asking for the bad touch

Team Gropezilla
This one doesn't really need any explanation... I am tall and could be mistaken for Godzirra and I like to touch young men. I look upon this as an genetic disposition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Thank you mother for my passion (and possibly my perversion?). If it happens in another country, and a tree falls in the forest, and someone pisses in the ocean does it actually really count?


Team Zombie -  We Need Brains
Who flys to the other side of the world, buys a car and trys to drift with no experience. Other than Mr Miyagi we are a green crew. We ain't got shit and other than my whoopsie street drifting back in the day I have nothing!!!! I am not afraid to tell you that I cant even do a skid (well there was this one time at truck stop... and then a man came... then my car stopped working... the end) I am trading my kidneys in for money to go with all possibility that I am going to Bin the car (or one of the boys will) and then its game over. Clearly not my brightest brainiest moment. And what would Mr Nissan think about what I am going to do to his creation.... why wont someone think of the Mr Nissan!!!!!!


I think we are set on Team Zombie, with a personal name of Gropezirra for me (hence the ingenious blog name. Oh yeah see what I did there!!!) but hey a rose by any other name would still as sweet right, so whats in a name... what ever its called, its gonna be called awesome. 

On the final count down now, 39 days to go, a car still to source and some fears to get over, but hey -  BRING IT!!!!!!!!!!

Until next time

If we break it, never fear!!! Matsuri Mechanics to the Rescue



In the beginning....


So here is how it started.... I went to Japan last year. I came home. I told EVERYONE (yes everyone) about how amazing my adventures were. I put the thrill of the track in them and there has been a burning need in me since (no not that burning, they have creams for that you know) to dive back into a place that embraced me and stole my heart. And the rest I guess is history (well lets call it history because I am unable to remember that part of the story). I decided that I wanted to drive Matsuri this year, but as I haven't driven a performance car in about 18 months I needed a teacher, cue Kev (we can refer to him as Mr Miyagi, I am sure thats fine and not in the least bit racist) I some how convinced him that it would be a good idea to come to Japan with me and teach me all his ninja ways. The plan was set, we would go to Japan, we would drift Ebisu and we would be famous (may or may not happen.... stay tuned for further updates on this)



The Ticket that was, then wasnt, but now is again!!!

Happy Birthday Jetstar, thanks for turning something and having a take a friend for free, it just so happens that I have a friend and they surprisingly want to go to the same place as me. Yay lets book tickets!!!!



JUST BOOKED JAPAN!!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEE JAPAN NIGGAS

Fast forward two weeks, another Japan planning party to book the next leg of our trip. Oh wait, panic stations I cant find the email confirming our flights, surely I wouldnt have deleted it, surely. I turned to Mr Miyagi to get him to check if the money for our tickets had come off his credit card....


hahahahahahahaha so turns out dont let the asian handle your Japan tickets!!!! Kev forgot to push confirm so now we have no tickets. What a doofus

Disaster!!!! No tickets. Lesson Learnt, never let a man organise something important (clearly though we have rebooked because otherwise this pointless blog, would be more pointless)



So we are off, we leave 30th October and what is set to come  is a rediscovery, a destroying, a learning and hopefully an awakening. My motivation is different for this trip and I am interested to see how this changes my experience. Also after doing my last trip solo its going to be a whole new experience travelling with other people. On a positive I will have someone to hold my hair when I spew and I am excited to show the boys the exciting things that I found

So stay tuned, keep updated and I will leave you with this. This video gets me excited every time I watch it... this video was shot at the Matsuri that I was at last year. LETS DO THIS SHIT!!!!!!




Love and Excited Peeing
