I’ve been loving my convertible Mini that I was allowed to play with for a few days. I’ve been broadcasting my Inter FM program Global Satellite each week from Mini Ginza event space & the lovely people at Mini let me test drive one of their spunky cars.
On a hot & steamy Tokyo night I put the top down & went for a spin around town. I discovered one great thing about driving a convertible - everyone wants to talk to you. When I was stopped at the lights at Shibuya crossing loads of spunks checked out me & my car, winked, said hi & even yelled out nice car!!
I was doing this drive solo - I love just getting behind the wheel & driving around with no map & no plan. But I had a lot of company with friendly strangers on the streets of Tokyo thanks to my sexy convertible Mini..

Once every week I’m broadcasting my Inter FM program Global Satellite live from the very cool Mini Ginza event space in Ginza, Tokyo & the lovely people at Mini gave me a convertible Mini to play with for a few days!! Together with my Mini Ginza program co-host Michael Rivas I took the spunky sporty little car for a spin from the Inter FM studios in Tenozu, to Shinagawa wharf overlooking Tokyo Bay with Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba & jets flying in to Haneda. Then we zoomed off to the lovely Omotesando..

A couple of hours before their show in the Red Marquee at Fuji Rock Festival 2010 I had a quick chat with Nicolas & Jean-Benoit, the 2 gentlemen behind French chilled out electronic unit Air.
(The gents are a tad shy & didn’t want their pic taken..)
