Title: Convoy to Japshow?
Post by: carlbrainiac on May 22, 2011, 02:46:14 PM
Hey. Just wondering if anyone from Surrey area is heading to Santa pod on the 19th June for the Japshow I could tag along with. Gonna be the first car show I have been to since my boy racer days lol. How does it work there? Do you just park up and walk round. Or do you choose whether to exhibit or just park in the car park and walk round? And what about entrance fees etc? I have never even been to Santa Pod so have no clue. lol. And is this a good show?

Have a search for the thread about the show. There\'ll be a link to the club shop so you can buy a ticket a geta stand pass and so park up with the rest of the club.
There is usually a convoy meet at J11 of the M25 in the lay-bys by St Peters hospital (if you know that area)
It\'s a good show with plenty of gap cars to look over. Drifting and drag action to watch too

Sounds good. I did look for a thread on the show but couldn\'t find it. I guess I didn\'t look hard enough

Better off getting a ticket and stand pass through the club mate so you can park on the club area when you get there. Unless you have a burning desire to park your pride and joy in a gravel-strewn muddy field amongst all the proles lol

Ok convoy to the show...

Meet at 7.30am at J11 of the M25.
For those that dont know the spot come off the M25 and head towards Woking on the A320. There\'s a bit of a Duel carrageway before the first roundabout with laybys on either side. Come back around to the M25 bound carrageway and park up there :D
We\'ll leave at 7.45ish so dont be late :p

Yeah sorry decided not to come to this one now. Just a bit of a trek. If the weather was looking more promising then maybe to make the show more worthwhile but if its just weeing down all day will be a bit pants

Erm don\'t know what country you think you\'re in but I\'m afraid I have to inform you that it is in fact England which means highly likely bad weather lol

Ahh I see Merlin\'s Plan. When his engine does finally give up at least he is in a convoy so plenty of cars to tow him lol Thats obviously why his mate Tom permantly has those tow straps on his car. Just in case lol

Ahh thats ok. Just tow with some really strong fishing line. Hopefully no one will see it then. And then just have the engine sound track playing on your stereo and it\'ll all be good. lol.

Of course thats only if your car continues to run ok too. You know until either your air filter falls off completely and sucks dirt into the engine. Or the filter itself breaks up and sucks into the engine lol.
 
Oh but of course thats why you have tow straps front and rear. So you can tow Merlin (sorry cant remember your real name) while someone else tows you lol

Glad to hear it, Rob. That was a jolly good wheeze on the way up the M1. I rather likes those young laydeees in the Skyline, not sure they quite knew what to make of us lot though

Was a good drive up with just the 4 of us. Don\'t think the 2 girls it the skyline knew what hit them when we were playing round them :p
