Oh I've been waiting for this one... Life is still stupidly hectic and I'm only just keeping up with the forum, let alone be able to post or admin properly. However I set aside some time so that I'd be able to make a thread for this. Every time NHOA hold their meeting I fall back in love with Japanese domestic scene all over again, like it was the first time I saw these cars. The quality is outstanding, even relatively simply modified cars have clearly had love and attention paid to them to get them 'just right'. NHOM brings out all of the cars I love and always serves to inspire (even when my own piece of Japanese metal is sat in the garage with a fairly major coolant leak ) ... I'm also very happy to be one of only two people in the country with an NHOA sticker on their car
