My son and I stopped in there on our trip to Japan this past April.

Great showroom, amazing cars and really nice people. They let us look at everything, took a few pictures of us by the cars, talked prices, car histories, etc.

Funniest thing was when one of the owners asked me where I was from. I say "Ohio". He says "Do you know Stoddard Auto?" I answer "Sure, they're 10 minutes from my house!" He and I are dumbfounded. Turns out he buys his Porsche parts from them. He even ran to get his parts invoice from Stoddard. Small world...

Regards,
Wayne
