View Full Version : Convoy to Japfest :D
Right, ive seen the other areas have one of these knocked up already so i thought i would stick one up for Anglia as well :thumbs:
Myself, Chris918, and a couple of other non members (read cheapskates) from Ipswich will be driving down for this on the saturday morning obviously :D
Unsure of times yet, but we will be heading down the A12, hitting the M25 and im presuming its down the M4.
Anyone wanting to meet us along the way post below and where you all will be! :thumbs:

Ill be heading down from Norwich, but ill be using the A11/M11. Could meet at the M25 services but might be a bit of a chore if someone gets delayed etc
This was a great show last year!
I'll be in the Caribbean then!
Have fun guys! I think Jim might be going?? Might see him this weekend, so I'll mention it to him

To be honest mate, I don't even know exactly when it is :eek: however, the S13 needs bits doing to it before it's going to anymore shows! lol! Those bits will be done within the next month though! :D
Tutut, its May 16th!
What you got left to do mate?

19-03-2009, 22:51
well, at present I have no seats in the car, the clocks are in my bedroom and the dash is in the conservatory! :wack:
Basically I need to finish off fitting the coilovers, test fit the roll cage, put a seat and the clocks back in and then send it off for an MOT! Should be done by the end of April and fingers crossed it won't cost me too much either! lol!
