Weekend rec ride

Mt. Fuji view point.
Another cloudy day, hmmm.



Huji, Japanese wisteria, started to bloom.
They smell nice.



Azalea hedge.
It's nice and beautiful.



a new favorite flower, cyrene.
This magenta variety is called pink panther in Japan.



Where have all the flowers gone?
Someiyoshino season is over.



And the double cherry blossoms season comes.
They are in the prime.



I happened to meet the owner of this C&V vehicle.



This C&Ver was changing the batteries for the air conditioner.
We chatted for a while.

"Wow, it's a Lotus Europe, very rare, rarer than Esprit. I haven't seen Esprit for 10 years or so.
"When did you get?"

"I've owned for 47 years now, so, I bought in 1977"

"NINETEEN SEVENTY-SEVEN? Just unbelievable!
"How many kilos did you drive?"

"One-fifty thousands kilos(=93,200mil). I commute every day 70 kilos(=43mil).
"When I and the car get tired, we'll get to my office, hahaha"

"Can I take some pics?"
"No problem. You wanna get in?"
"I can get in? Thanks"



The odometer is in the second round.


"Thank you for your time and giving me a good opportunity"
"You're welcome. Take care and safe ride"

It was as if I had met Roger de Vlaeminck or Eddy Merckx.

It was a very good, unbelievable day!
