[V8] Rare V8 in Tokyo, Japan

[Bryan Kamerer]

That is certainly a Lang.  The ad calls it a "Lim" model, I assume for
Limousine.  Man, that bring back some funny memories.

Asians car fans are nuts for big German luxury cars.  I lived in NYC in the
mid/late 90s and I worked for a Korean financial institution selling/trading
Korean securities to US investment houses.  When it got back to the Seoul HQ
I had a V8 Audi they assumed I was independently wealthy because they
figured it must cost as much in the US as it does there (Japan, Korea, etc.
have HEINOUS import tariffs on cars).

I cannot imagine the number of times I was being driven around Korea in some
lame Hyundai luxury sedan and wishing I had my V8 or something similar to
kick back in during the ride!

That is a rare car in ANY country.
