Default Japfest II Sat 30th Sept Donnington

I know a few people are interested in going to Jap Fest 2 at Donnington, so I thought it might be good to organise a group visit.

http://www.japfest.co.uk/japfest2/index.html

I will be heading from the Newark area with a handful of people and then heading direct to Donnington. If there is anyone who wants to tag along add your name below......

We are going but coming from southward direction, since this is my first Scooby it would be nice to see other Scoobies & other Jap cars altogether, should be fun, well thats how I have sold it to SWMBO.

M1 would be a better place for me to meet you as i am only 5 mins from J30, so that would be better for me

Yeah sounds good mate. What route do you think we should take? The most direct route would be to shoot down the A46 to Saxondale roundabout, then around the Notts ring road onto the A453, hop over the M1 and your there

or

Tank over towards Mansfield on the new MARR A38 then drop down the M1.

I suppose it depends if we have any other people wanting to meet along the way?

What are your thoughts?

Yeah 9.00am will be fine.

Is security a problem at Donnington??? I heard they had few motors nicked from Santa Pod at the last Jap show. Turned up with a flat bed posing as AA men and just picked the car up, disabled tracker and alarm, then drove off with people watching! Nobody said anything as they were looking like they were taking it away to be fixed! Ba**ards!

Have you guys decided on a route for tomorrow? What time are you setting off? I am a bit worried about leaving the car from what I have read now!

we will all be in the same boat mate. at the end of the day parking anywhere is a risk.

9.00am Roman Way Pub Newark.
Down A46 to Nottingham then A453 to Donnington.
PM me if you want my mobile number.......

Cheers

The bug eye with the morette lights? I did smile, but the darkened windows didnt help in the heavy rain. Much fun was had pulling dounuts on the slippy grass. Andy did you get any video of mine?

Top day!
