Just thought I would throw up the details of this event that I am attending this weekend. It is mainly based around older Japanese vehicles but is open to Euro and anything else really, anything strange that doesn't follow conventional car culture here in New Zealand, which well and truely encompasses Opel and Vauxhall

Thats in my local area so I may pop in to say hi Brad.
That is if I'm moving after BDO.

I thought someone might ask that. I'm not sure really, it's a little bit of a "scene" thing from what I can gather, taking from Japanese tuning/modification over the last few decades. I guess something similar would be if we referred to tuning our Opels as either a German word meaning "fast" , "race", "modified" or "extreme" (etc) or alternatively referred to a style of tuning along these lines. Or perhaps even simply related it back to the area in which the cars were originally tuned.

Ok, its hard to explain, especially when you have very limited knowledge on the subject.

A quick Google of the japanese names above uncovered these:
