I started a new Facebook page for only kei-jidōsha here in the islands. Appropriately, it is named Hawai'i Kei-jidōsha! We would love it if you joined. (not sure why the ō is bold, we'll work on that)
We're still small, but we're planning on being the place in Hawai'i you can go for all your Kei news, stories, and fun! Some of the stuff we've got cooking in the brain currently:
Meetups (along with monthly things like Cars & Coffee, Wheels by the Waves, we'd love to have a semi-frequent "chill" session where we can just hang out. No pressure, no agenda, no requirements.
Cruises (we'll make sure the route is posted & known in case anyone is late / gets lost!) This is something we'd like to really have fun with. We live in one of the most amazing places on the planet, and we sure do have some cool vehicles, so let's get out there! On O'ahu, we are aiming for 4 a year, or one each quarter. We're going to rotate the start and end points around the island, so nobody is stuck driving a long way every time. Plus, we've got some amazing sights to see!
This is one we are really excited about - TECH SESSIONS! We've got some great resources in the group already when it comes to mechanical work, bodywork, electronic work, stereos, etc. The goal is to pick someone who needs some work done, and have their vehicle be the focus of the tech session that time around. We're a very friendly and encouraging group, so even if you don't know your wrench from a socket, you are welcome! We can help you, and we will show you how you can take care of your little Kei. (ambitious plan of every other month, so six a year.)
"Branding" - We've got a logo in the works, and once that is finalized, we're going to have a giant Nobori made (the vertically hung banners seen in Japan). We're also thinking of some sort of lights to identify us during evening / night events.
Merchandise! Along with the branding, we're going to look into at least T-shirts for the group.
