First off, a couple of apologies;
firstly sorry this thread is all wordy ill update is with some pictures as soon as they are all downloaded and amassed!
Secondly sorry i havent been round much, real life is spoiling all my fun, this having a full time job stuff will never catch on!
Anyway, if your sitting comfortably ill begin!
I had been planning to go to Japfest2 for a while as the KP30'S tax runs out and ill be taking of the road as of now for further mods.
So brousing the web last night some track time came up forsale (with a display pass!) on Driftworks which i promptly snaffled up!
My car was the only really really thing there bar a few 260Z's and a rather tasty s800. I was overwhelmed at the ammount of attention it got from the public and the media which is always nice!
Then there was the track time, id driven donnington before but that was in a 998 Mini and the starlet was a shed load more fun! It had rained, started drying and then some one had dropped oil on every corner on the racing line which made for an exciting few laps! The first lap i had a big sideways 4th gear on the lock stops, then later on i chased down a Colt, passed him then had a spin 2 corners later but managed to keep it going!
I really enjoyed the show, there was a fair bit of Barry on display but there is some really nice JDM stuff out there. More than anything once again the people were brilliant in particular Bryn who i met for the first time! The guy is a total 1000% ledgend
Then i went straight to the Retro-Rides Midlands meet and met Ade, Chasr and Jammzr which was brilliant! Thanks for turning up guys it was great to see you all and i hope we can get this meet growing!
Well the Starlet is off the road now for a winter of modification, I'm 99% sure I'm going the 4AGE route but need to do a bit of weighing, measuring and accounting!
Ill update this thread with pics as soon as i can, but until then heres is a pic of me playing on private land with the owners permission ;D
