JapShow – 10th June 2018

We had a wonderful summer season in the UK in 2018 with some of the hottest days in years. This meant that I was more than eager to take my then reasonably new Toyota Celica GT-Four to a selection of meets around the country. JapShow at the Santa Pod drag strip was a show that I had missed years previous so I made an effort to visit.

After getting lost trying to find the club stand and nearly ending up on the drag strip itself; we settled down and began to peruse the selection of vehicles on display. Along with this the event had a RWYB style event for mostly Japanese only vehicles which provided some good entertainment for the day.

I probably would visit JapShow again in the future, the selection of cars on show was a nice mix and included some models that I hadn’t seen before at these kind of shows; such as the Honda S660.

Japfest Silverstone – 29th April 2017

This was my first time of being at Silverstone. It was a fantastic day – car mecca I called it.

As you can see from the pictures below, I was mainly interested in the cars from the 80s and 90s; irregardless of power, condition or style. Japfest is one of my favourite events on the calendar.

Players 10 North Weald – 17th September 2017

Players 10 usually marks the end of the car show year. It holds a special place in my heart as it was the first show I had ever been too.

Unfortunately due to the date it is held the skies are usually overcast and makes taking pictures a little difficult.

This day was pretty good, however I didn’t take lots of pictures. I was more interested in the stock/factory cars over the modified examples.
