Anyway, I was saying to him I'd probably make a group Instagram message soon with the people I know there (like.. 5? including him) to invite them all for the group touring. He said he'd also try to invite some friends.
Next thing I know, he's added me to a new group message on Twitter with over 20 86/BRZ owners and he's telling them (in Japanese) who I am and that I'm coming to visit and we'd like to do a group drive. Obviously it's like 5 months out so I don't think any of them have committed yet, but a bunch replied and said they might be able to go and will let him know closer to that time.
I had to use Google Translate, this is how he introduced me (a couple of them already know me but most don't):

At least it didn't translate to buys ramen and eats Shiba Inu...
Next thing you know you'll be a celebrity.
