tarcase Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just got back. Thanks to Lui for the convoy. Only live 5 miles from Castle Coombe but went to Reading for the trip back - fantastic but exhausted. As usual the Japfest, I think, should have had more stalls and the driving was a bit tiresome (if you are a regular to the track). Anyway, did anyone see that 6 wheeler Citroen on the M4? Weird. Thanks again Lui. Lovely car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Also just got back. Really enjoyed today, fantastic crowd of people and a friendly atmosphere The 100+ Jap car convoy on the way there was quite a sight (even from the back of it!), the show it'self seemed well organised, though it was a little crowed. It was kind of a blessing that our club stand was away from the main thoroughfare as we had plenty more room than most of the clubs. We had 110 cars on our stand, so was the largest there by some margin. Shame to hear about the Supra smash on the way there... someone ran into Jody T's brothers car Thanks very much to Lui for organising today I'll put up some video later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waderz06 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I just got home. Really impressed with the huge convoy from the south, Felt good to be a part of it No rain was also a bonus. Good to see everyone too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well done to Lui for organizing this Good to see many of the regular faces and meet so many new ones, glad the rain stayed away this time. More stands than normal to look round which was good. All in all a good day. Even managed a spirited drive back home with a subaru which was nice for me, and not so nice for him as he kept getting left behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DevilsAdvocate Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well, despite the forecasts and contary to the predictions of the 'prophets of doom' the weather didn't turn out too bad after all. An excellent Soop turnout - I didn't count them all 'cos I'm not quite that sad. The convoy from Reading managed to stick together quite well, arriving at Castle Coombe at about 08:30 ish. A Jolly good day all round, thanks chaps and chapettes. Reading Castle Coombe Smokin' Roy and Kaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
