One of the biggest and literally my first inspiration is/was Wasabi. Im a sucker for BRG Miatas, lets get that out of the way immediately. I think I was skimming through Mnet or CR and that is when I first saw Wasabis graveyard shot. The photography was well composed and the setting reminded me of resurrecting the car to its former glory.
I was smitten by the color of not only the car, but the calipers and the valve cover. Quite the small British car throwback theme. The reuse of the daisy wheels and just the overall attention to detail piqued my interest and Wasabi became a car I would use as a reference to this day. Some might think it odd, but it is the kiss principle that I enjoy the most about Wasabi. It is the simple, clean look that does it for me and what I try to emulate.
Later was the picture below. It showed me what I love about Wasabi. A tie to the past and to the future of roadsters. I used to own a TR-6 and seeing the two together just clicked with me.
I just hope that Wasabis thread keeps getting updates. Hint-hint! I dont want to have to send another message. Oh, Id also like to see more of Cherry Bomb.
