Shuji,

So is your R56's name Goro Mini? Neat how you got the 56-32 Noda plate - I didn't know you could request numbers.

Aloha, from Hawaii.

Welcome to NAM! I spent 2 years in Japan on the southern tip called Kyshu in 1964-65. Stopped off in Tokyo and eat many dinners in Fukuoka! Love Japan. Nice looking Mini! You will enjoy it.

Hi Shuji. I go to Japan at least once a year for the Tokyo Auto Salon. Perhaps we'll meet sometime.
