Please spare a thought for our PH friends and manufacturers in Japan. It makes the dilema over the Toyaburu look like small change now.

So electricity is going to be regulated now. I'm just wondering how the japanese car industry will be affected by all this. Shortage of jap cars soon?

Yep I believe there will be a shortage of jap imports soon - I was thinking about the Japanese quake today, and thought about my March Cabriolet - as silly as it sounds, It pains me to think how many got wiped out by the tsunami frown


Thoughts to the Japanese people and companies at this time, I can't possibly think what they're going through.

I read somewhere that there may be 24 months personal, and company tax relief in affected areas. Hopefully this will get the economy back on its feet there. Loosing Japan as an innovative force would be a very bad loss in my mind.

Just watching that torrent take hold on the deck was hard enough, can't possibly imagine the feelings of those on the deck facing it.
