Japfest pics!

Hi guys,

Went to japfest today with Gibbo and rjk in the jag! Was a cracking day, weather was awesome.

However me and rjk had been to a 22nd birthday party the night before so feeling a little bit rough we stopped at mcdonlads on the way. The wafted straight to castle combe courtesy of our driver Gibbo lol.

Anyways here's the pics.

recovering from the hangover, not sure this really helped but it was a good idea at the time!

I loved the bronze RX8 but not keen on the Bentley wheels and air ride. So many awesome cars there, a lot of them I didn't get to take a picture of as my phone died on me!

Did you wander into civicfest?

I like japfest but they let some marques overrun the show and the more interesting cars just get left on the sidelines.

All the good cars in the photos are at least 10 years old it seems.

Have Japan given up on making good cars or something?

I blame the Prius.

Yeah spoke to buster briefly, wasn't in a talkative mood tbh. Hungover and being social doesn't really work

Yeah it seems that way, only recent cars there are 350z/370z, R35 GTR and new shape imprezas + EVO X

Or have EU regulations stopped them getting here?

Some awesome cars there

Something Else · 12 May 2012 at 23:42

it was the first ive been too, was very very hot at times, burnt my face

i feel like i didnt see the whole show, there was a lot of club stands i just couldnt find and trying to get pics of everything was exhausting so i just gave up and strolled around taking pics of things when i came across them

floatindolphin · 12 May 2012 at 23:46

and some right shockers!

Housey · 12 May 2012 at 23:49

there were plenty, i didnt get any pics of them though as well tbh i wasnt that interested in them. they are great cars though

gigeorge · 13 May 2012 at 01:13

Loads of nuggets/chavs there today - same as every year i guess. Only a handful of really special cars - skyline/rx7/gtr/lambo/r8's.. As usual the knuckle draggers from the Subaru clubs from every corner of the earth ! Thank god for free tickets and the ability to get out there, fast like !

Morba · 13 May 2012 at 01:53

Seeing these makes me happy I didn't go tbh!

Dr Who · 13 May 2012 at 04:05

Nice pics, wish I had been able to go, but was working.

Rotty · 13 May 2012 at 04:56

some nice stuff but also some utterly horrific
