It’s been nice being at home. I still have a bit to show you from our last trip to Japan but yeah, it’s been really nice settling back into a normal routine here in California. After Nostalgic 2Days in Yokohama, we still had a couple of stops in Japan before hopping on a plane back to the west. Once I got back, it was time to unpack and figure out how to display all these new collectibles I got. While that was happening, I was also presented with an opportunity I didn’t think would ever happen. I guess you can say it was an offer I couldn’t refuse. Here’s to a whole new adventure…

One of them was named Lawrence and he had a Z32 with a crazy body kit on it—I’d never seen anything like it. Even the car itself had this wild orange/copper iridescent hue to it. The body kit was from a Japanese company named “VeilSide” and he was from a car club known as the 935draggers. These guys had some of the craziest cars I’d ever seen back then, like mind-blowing. It didn’t matter how they made their money then but to be able to acquire a VeilSide kit back when the word “JDM” had barely been coined was a feat in itself. Like how did they even get in contact with a Japanese company and import a whole body kit back in the late 90s? It must have been a fortune…

Alas, my Japan journey comes to an end. It”s been an eventful 40 days here but it is time to go home! I’ve had a blast but I do have to remember that I have a life at home to live so it is time for me to depart. Before I go however, I did have one more event to go to; Nostalgic 2 Days in Yokohama! I’m always trying to see new things and expand my horizons in the world of Japanese automotive tuning so this is the perfect event to cap-off my trip! This show is specifically catered to the Kyusha, or Japanese classic car, community and there’s always something rare or unique to see here. Whenever I dive into the rich history of the Kyusha car scene, I always find myself learning new things. And this event was no different. Join me and my friends as we walk through Nostalgic 2 Days and let’s all appreciate these classics together…
