See the famous Honda Collection Hall in Japan - on Street View

If the 12-hour flight seems a bit much, let Google take the strain…

GOOGLE has added the Honda Collection Hall to its Street View service – allowing you to virtually roam the place free of charge and without the usual 12-hour flight.

All three floors of the museum are included. You can change floors by clicking a number on the left. You can even see it all in 3D if you’ve got the right set of old-school red-and-cyan tinted glasses – just press “3” on your PC keyboard to switch to 3D mode.

Production bikes are at the far end of the 2nd floor (find the gift shop on the lower level then teleport straight up to them) while the firm’s racers are directly above that on the 3rd floor. Of course, there are also cars, robots, outboard motors and, er, lawnmowers to keep your interest.

This interweb thing’s pretty clever, isn’t it? Now all we need are those virtual reality goggles that Tomorrow’s World always promised us.
