Not good for Toyota
. Hopefully since Japan is a well developed country it can get the worst affected areas back up and running quickly, for the people and for their economy.

It's not just cars, Japan is the world leader in manufacture of electronic components, so everyone who needs something with an electronic part, a silicone chip tc will too discover they also have a shortage.

Belgium is the European distribution centre isn't it?
I ordered some bits from Toyota just before the earthquake, all were in stock 1-3 days (so in Europe at least) except one which wasn't going to be here until the 25th...
Waiting on some bits from Newera as well :o
Just hope no one was waiting for a car!

Are those the containers for cars?! Wonder if there were any cars in them. Glad I got the main parts I needed out of the way.
