Jap Show 2017

[Erni902]

Apologies guys, been stupid busy recently, as Gadboy said we will be getting to Santa Pod at 0755hrs before the gate is even open. This allows us to get in and get a decent plot up by a fence/bush (ideal bog for the males) and get our little city all set up in the general camping area. Depending on the time you guys all start to arrive you will probably see my bright orange 350Z parked up next to our tents.

I should be turning up around 9:30am - limiting factor being friends driving down from Sheffield

Not sure what time we'll be in, might aim to be early. Just got to pray to the weather gods, I cant stick another raining all weekend Japshow!

[Amonlym]

Happy Days, Ill add you to the list

[Amonlym]

How best to make contact on the Sunday? im guessing i wont be able to casually sneak a barge into the campsite xD

[Erni902]

I'll PM you my number. If your getting there early you will see me cleaning the bright orange Zed in the show n shine area

[Erni902]

I might be cheeky lads and bring the club flags with me and try to commandeer a large enough camping space for us all. An unofficial club camping if you will. Not sure whether the organisers will tell me to take them down but hopefully they will stay up so you guys can ID where we are. We shall park the cars with large gaps strategically so we can try and fit everyone in. Ill stick up a map in a few days of where Im aiming to set up camp

[orionn2o]

good idea! Cant see why they would care, if there's a few cars coming. I take it its not worth emailing the pod and seeing if there are any spare club camping areas?

[hbkuk1]

There's not to many clubs going may well be space for us?

[orionn2o]

All packed up ready for tomorrow. Will be there early ish, 8-9 . I'll keep a look out for the flags

[Erni902]

Evening guys, apologies Ive only just bloody sat down! Absolute nightmare of a week. I fired off an email to the Japshow organisers but havent received a reply so assuming I wont now. I will put the club flags up but I have posted a pic below to show you the rough area we plan to set up depending on what field they open up for camping this year.

Was a good weekend, brill to see everyone even if there weren't many VR4s
Saw some runs up the strip from Paul and Jason.
And a few beers and a good chat on Saturday afternoon with Rikki, John and his son and Rich.

Not many pics, was too busy having fun

[hbkuk1]

Agreed good weekend sorry didnt say goodbye to everyone all went separate ways on the Sunday

[galantnight]

Yes indeed it was a good weekend, so much better than last weekend
Good to see everyone and a surprise visit from Paul ,was good to see him run his car, I did video it but I don't think he was happy with the time so I wait to post it if he wants me to.
Paul if you pm your number I can WhatsApp the video to you if you want and you decide if you want to post it ok

[Amonlym]

It was amusing to watch him rolling along near silent compared to the (oft slower) other cars.

Did not manage to find the bulk of you - couldn't even see the camp site, but it was good to see a few cars scattered around! I think I might be able to get hold of a video of Jason on an early run but didn't take many pictures myself (4 total...)

[orionn2o]

Sorry i didnt get a chance to meet you Jake. I think most people were doing their own bits of Sunday. Passing by each other saying hi now and again!
