BLACK ON BLACK: NOB’s 180SX

By in 09-03-2009 12:30 am

When we were at Mizunami Circuit the other day, I noticed that NOB rolled in with a car that looked like his Vertex Ridge-kitted 180SX, but in black instead of red.

Turns out someone had rear-ended him, and the panelbeater had suggested repainting the whole car with something new, so NOB decided on “makkuro”, or “pitch black”.

FAMOUS PEOPLE: I met them

By in 06-03-2009 4:02 am

I don’t want to seem like one of those people who tries to be cool by standing next to famous people and showing photos, but I can’t help it. This is Japan, and meeting these people is why I came here.

The D1 driver I’ve known for the longest time, Tsuyoshi Tezuka at Kids Heart.

That’s what I look like, by the way. I know I haven’t put a picture of me on this blog yet. Shattered your illusions, did it? Or were they confirmed? You tell me.

NOT DEAD: This blog.

Some of you have expressed concern that Noriyaro will die off due to my new association with Speedhunters.

I assure you that is not the case. If anything, this site will get even better.

I’ve been doing so much stuff with Vaughn Gittin Jr. here in Japan that I’ve fallen a day behind on my Speedhunters commitment, and haven’t even updated Noriyaro. The last two days have not yielded much in the way of sleep, time to sit down and process photos or write words to the kind of standard expected.

I just arrived at our latest hotel, and I have to leave the room almost immediately. I only turned the computer on to check the internet was working.

Later tonight however, cool stuff will go up on Speedhunters.

Back to normal soon.
