Wow what a show! I've never seen a show that big and they couldn't have squeezed anymore in, stands, cars, track, and promo girly's were all excellent, had a chat with a few of you but who else went that I missed? Really Looking forward to japfest2 and rallyday now

 

Bloody hell two day passes in the same lunar cycle, you must have been a good boy to earn them.

So I take it then that you're all for sorting out a club stand for the later Japfest show? Start a thread and I'm sure plenty will sign up for attending.

 

Jarvis thanks for taking my seat for the day and looking after the boy :-) ... 5am start was a no no :-(
Nice job on his wheels as usual ....
Thank you for the few bits and pieces, I'm very pleased with the outcome... That blue colour was awful ......

 

I made the early start to japfest well worth it tho,what a day!!loads of subaru's seen a couple people there,and lovely cars,and after all that a trip to bob Rawle to map my car,great job and what a difference he makes to the car,very happy with the result

 

We were there by 06:45 and drove straight in, we made a move to leave at 16:30 to try and beat the traffic but still endded up taking almost an hour to just get out of the circut, apparently the police stopped access to the show later on in the day too, there was just to many cars trying to attend the show.

 

i was there early and left at 2.30 took an hour to get out of the car park some one said no more cars were being allowed in after 1.30.

 

The weather was perfect for it, the queuing was ridiculous, I've been going to Japfest with my club for about five years now and I've never experienced that, luckily though the rest of the day was good enough not to have been spoiled by that.

I was a bit let down by the lack of big power demo cars on the track, the most impressive car I saw was undoubtedly the Redbrick Racing Evo, it would have been nice to have seen a few more TA cars there spanking it around the circuit.

 

Did anyone see F7WRC? the std looking blue classic going, i did'nt see anything else as quick or well driven, he was alot quicker than the civic touring cars, later found out it had been de-tuned to 670bhp for japfest and has previously run 750

 

Stop talking about it because I missed it and I am now rather sad

 

ye i went also was a great day. hour q to get out though.

 

Jarvis, actually take your car next time!!

But I have a cunning plan for getting a good area if you do organise a stand.
I can give you a hand if you want.

Only problem next Japfest2 is Donington on July 8th, so a fair trek!!

 

So Jarvis is organising a stand for Japfest 2? Come on then Jarvis start a thread and get the ball rolling.

 

Don`t see him saying that anywhere.

 

I know I was being sarcastic, as in being humourous.

 

 

One just for you, it's so apt it's frightening.

 

Mike Latimer..awesome car, makes reduculous power and handles like its on rails, last year at Rallyday he lapped an works Astra Touring car, he was running 600bhp then and did a few sessions with no power steering..

the way it gets out of corners is amazing, like a scalded cat

 

Was talking to him at Japfest last year, said it was de-tuned to around 650 for that day as well...
Fair play it's a flying machine and he built the engine himself
