No mate, I didn't go either this year. I think it's the first I've missed in 7-8 years as well. My car club doesn't have that many Jap cars in it these days so (over the last few years) I found other clubs asking to join and come along with us (i.e. be on my club stand). In the end I got fed up of organising for mainly other clubs with no thanks and no support in return. It was all one way so I knocked it on the head this year. If I'm being honest, I'm also getting bored of Japfest. I still love Jap cars but I'm sick and tired of seeing the same old cars at every Jap show. There just seems to be so little 'new' stuff coming through. Sure, there are some great cars; some fantastic cars. But I'm losing interest in seeing 15 year old cars that have been turned into drift cars or rice-mobiles with this stupid camber and stance thing going on. I guess I'm getting old (he says driving a Clio!)
