After taking a year off last year our favourite Japanese domestic model car show returned in 2009. It seems my curse for making it rain at events I attend has now extended to events I would like to attend, as most of the photos from the event show a fair amount of dampness.
We've kind of built up the status of the
NHOA meet (as it is known) probably more than any other Japanese car show. The reason for this is that it is in every way a great reflection of what is going on in the Japanese modified domestic model car scene, it is a relatively small outdoor event, placed in a location that attracts people from both Tokyo and from towns, villages and cities that are further out. The car quality is top notch as well and covers the broad range of modifying styles in Japan, although bosozoku and granchan styles are discouraged.
It is still pretty soon after the event for large galleries to have made their way online, the Japanese car scene doesn't seem to have embraced Flickr yet. So I've had a whip through
Minkara Carview to see what we can find:
There are a nice selection of
photos on this blog entry
This photo gallery has a cool selection of pictures too, use the arrows >> at the bottom of the selection of images to move to the next page. Click on the images to get bigger ones.
There is also another
gallery of images here
We'll attempt to bring you some more images from the event later in the week if we can track some down. Al has got a
bunch of pictures here
