marc_p Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Well this was complete failure for me, I arranged to drop some decat pipes off for Broomie and meet a few other people down there, however, with my car currently going single, I didn't have another Japanese car readily available, so I texted my mate who has a Celica to see if he was going down to Japshow and if he was, could I jump in? He replied with an affirmative and that he was heading down with the Celica Club, great, I thought. So I wrapped up my decat pipes and headed over to his house first thing in the morning(5:30am start for me), so we loaded the car up, parked mine up and set off.............this is when things started to go wrong, we had been driving for about 30 minutes when he mentioned that a couple of other friends are coming to the show as well now they know that there is going to be lots of old classic cars there as well and not just jap cars, 'errrrrrrrr, no mate, James is taking his Eleanor, but that's pretty much it for non jap' I replied. At this point he started to argue with me that it wasn't just a jap car show, it's for all sorts, my reply was 'Why the hell do they call it JAPshow then?', 'it's not called Japshow' he replied, this is where I started to worry and asked him on where we were going...........'Thoresby Park, near Ollerton'.........................'F**K, I'm going to the wrong show!!!!!!'. After some shouting and rather large amounts of swearing, I realised that Japshow was out the window and the 'Sheffield Festival of Transport' with the Celica club was where I was now going. In all fairness though, it wasn't a bad show and was made a lot better by a couple of nice looking women both driving Ferrari F355's:innocent: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonP Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I also had a good day at the JapShow on Sunday. It was great to meet a number of fellow forum members in the staging lanes early on Sunday morning. I took part in the RWYB and ran a best of 11.87secs at 120.9mph. This was good enough to win the Toyota RWYB class and I came home with a nice little trophy! Also the sun was shining! A good day Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
