| The Mark 2 of Makoto
Honjo
These photos were taken at a temple near my house to provide a suitable
'oriental' feel to them.

In April 1998, my son Aldra suddenly developed an urgent
desire to widen his horizons and brush up his English by attending school
in the US. A mad rush to find a school that would take him in, and cutting
through red tapes of various stripes ensued. To make a long story short
Akira has started attending summer school in Arizona from June 20. Realizing
that fellow saloon owning Jag Lover Mark Stephenson was in Phoenix, and
more important 
(I still have my priorities correct, I hope) not trusting the airlines
to safely guide a non English speaking 16year old dog tagged kid through
the wilds of LAX airport, I decided to combine a trip accompanying Akira
to Arizona with an occasion to get in touch with Mark to check out on the
progress of his Mark 1 restoration. The picture here is the Stephenson's
and Akira (in case you haven't figured, Mark's the second from left person
and Akira is the far right person) posed around the bicarb blasted and
resprayed body shell of Mark's Mark 1. Keep up the good work Mark -- however
long it takes |
The picture with the car only is the latest picture of my Mark 2 after
it went through a major (and financially painful) one year face lift (more
about that once I have the time). The louvered bonnet you see
is my "summer bonnet" which I picked up at Stoneleigh last autumn.
I'd appreciate if you could replace my picture presently on the Saloons
homepage, with the one being attached to this mail. The
sew-on patch on my sweatshirt is the Very Immature Racers of the US
(VIRUS) patch courtesy of Tom
Veale, whose article once
graced the Saloons homepage.

Makoto Honjo
