I'm sort of a "cultural mutt" as I'm Chinese by blood, but I was born in Tokyo, Japan, lived there for 9 years, then moved to Northern California. I have been stuck here happily ever since.
I've been a car fanatic as long as I can remember. I try my best to attend racing events. I've attended NASCAR, NHRA, CART, and Formula One races. I also have some track driving experience as a member of the Northern California Shelby American Automobile Club.
I'm into old cars, and love classic cars of all sorts. (The newest car I've ever owned is a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS) I enjoy going to vintage races like the Monterey Historics. I own a 1962 Austin Mini, my dream car since kindergarden.
My motive for getting interested in photography was to take pictures of cars!
I enjoy travelling, as I've been to Germany, France, England, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, and of course Japan. My latest travels have been automotive-related, like driving on the Autobahn, going to the Tokyo Motorshow, and watching Formula One races in Suzuka, Japan. Did I tell you that I love cars?
My Simple Rating System I try to change my perspective as a "beginner" when I post ratings. Length of an Epinion is not the primary factor in judging a rating, but there are only so many things you can say in a short paragraph!
Highly Recommended Informative, detailed, firsthand experience, facts to back opinions, get a feeling of "I learned something new."
Recommended Somewhat informative, more speculation than fact (although it still could be accurate), common sense rather than something "new."
Somewhat Recommended Not too informative, restatement of well-known facts, although Epinion is still valid. Rely heavily on speculation.
Not Recommended Sensationalism, plagiarism, provocative tactics (swear words, "you suck"), way off-topic.
