Castle Combe - Japfest - 16th May 2009



  Mental 172 Cup
I know this is nothing to do with Clios etc! but as there are alot of people into JDM and japanese cars etc thought it would go down well here! :)

Turned up at 9am to constant rain! cleared up after about 30mins though and it then stayed nice for the rest of the time I was there!

Few pics that I took from today! Been practising panning abit more :)

C&C Welcome

  Golf R soon...
Good photos!

Went last year with a friend with a Supra TT. Was a good afternoon, especially on there with a convoy of 30+ Supras.

Was there a a Datsun there running a Supra TT lump? I swear one was on the track last year, sounded great

2 very good friends of mine, 1 is a sprayer and the other a mechanic, both brothers, racing to get both done for the weekend

you notice what type of spoiler it was on the yellow one????

they are both not shy but the yellow one is the gifted child, those wheels aren't that big to look pretty

  Whichever has fuel
Same old s**t, different year.

I've been the last 2/3 times and it still looks the same. Deffinately not worth the £18 entrance fee!!
 
  Evo 8 Jap Crap
I was there today thought it was a good show some nice machinery on show and the track action didnt disappointment as always :)

Thats our stand!! :D

I was in the middle of the two rows
 
  Never above 25mpg
Some c**t in a red Impreza was overtaking liking a t**t on the way to Warminster from Westbury as I was on my way home from work today. Prick. If he hadnt of pulled in just at the right time I wouldve been a goner!!
He then wandered why I flashed him!!!!

Doesn't look like I missed much though. Good shots Luke.

thanks matey! there are some right nutters about! im not the last to get pissed off at people driving slow but would only overtake if its safe to do so! there are some nice long straights on the way to castle combe from my house! :)
 
I'm not bothered I didn't make it looking at that lot. Mostly ricer s**t with a couple of decent motors. Certainly not worth £18 going by the cars in those pics!

Good day out, really enjoyed it.

Luke, I think that black evo in the pic might of been the one that pretty much blew up, the one with RALLIART sticker, although there was a similar one.

i only paid 12 quid with stand pass lol! MOT u should of stopped me and said hi lol!

it was just all samey... about 5billion scoobys, 2billion skylines, s**t loads of hondas then a couple and it really only was a couple of good cars that had alot of work!

was funny sat in my rex and seeing all the chavvy kids going YES MUSH LOOK AT THAT RX7 INNIT....

i came away with a touge heros dvd and thats about it oh and some sunburn lol! saying that the touge heros stand was pretty much the only stand that had girls who didnt look like some cheap slapper lol!

couple r35's etc saw about 10 ek9 type r's s**t loads of dc2's dc5's and other civics all in all it was pretty s**t lol the trade stands were mainly cheap shitty tat... think rotorstock will be better... have to say the draggon rx7 drift car sounded f**king beasty there was a pp cosmo on our stand he decided to show off and rev the s**t out of it all of a sudden it went loud and the exhaust disintergrated lol! did have 2 HUGE turbo's on it though!
 
Lol at the 'stands', just some cars parked in a field is what it looks like?!

Quite like some of the DC5s though
 
  Caterham 270R
Great pics:cool:

I always do this event and after last years que problem and suspect overflow car park different this year.
I drove in at 8.30 straight into quarry car park and only took 5 mins to get out.

Alot of action , thrills and spills on track ,not as many drifters this year which was a shame but all in all a good day.

The blue FTO hit hard at quarry........:dapprove:
 
I went along as well. Arrived at 8:30 and queued all the way from the A420 (coming from Chippenham), took me 40 minutes to get in and was directed to the overflow car park, despite them then filling the area behind Old Paddock a bit later, very odd. Not sure if the traffic issues were anything to do with breakdowns though, as I saw a couple in the villages including one of the drift cars.

Definitely not worth £18, the 'pro' drifters were distinctly average this year and even when it dried up most were not pushing too hard on track, I find Eurofest better despite being a much smaller event.
 
  PH2 RS 172 Forsale
Was some good cars on show but again it has been the exactley the same for years now!
