MAXlMUS Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Hey all, Was gonna take a mosey on down to Catle Combe in May for the japfest event....is it anygood? and worth going to? Regards Max Quote
martinmac Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Yes, there will be a good turnout from here and there is track time, exclusive to zeds available. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I've been for the last 4 years and it's a first-class event. Usually a few of the members come along and we share the Z Club stand. Quote
Chris`I Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Yup, tis a good show, expect we will do a joint stand with the Zclub who always get favourable stand locations Quote
geoff-r Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I have been on and off for the last 5 years. It's good to be fair. One of the more consistent events of the year. I personally prefer JAE but didn't go last year and they never seem to be able to keep it at one location which is a damn shame, Billing was good, Peterborough was okay, I think Mersea Island (spelling?) was one of the best locations. Weather plays a huge factor as well as to whether an event is good or not. I'll be going to Japfest this year, want to get the Zed there Quote

Works well for me its only 20 mins down the road at a leisurely pace. Max Quote
geoff-r Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 It was held there last year mate, apparently it was really good according to the lot I used to go with, unfortunately I was away, I'll be down there this year. Bring your car along Quote
MAXlMUS Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 I might have to bring the wife too....decisions decisions Quote
geoff-r Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I don't know if I should count myself lucky, the missus never wants to be dragged along to a car show haha Quote

Pimm Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I have been a couple of times and it has been a good day, can be a little cold and windy though. Quote
Ian Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I have been a couple of times and it has been a good day, can be a little cold and windy though. Its nearly always wet at Combe or is it just me that brings the rain Quote

3FIDDYZ Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah Ah yeh!!! Aquaplaning to the wales run!! I remember it well! Quote
Ian Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 And the action days I think the rally day was dry but I never bothered going to that Quote
choptop Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Good event although it can get very crowded. Usually attend with the Z Club as previously mentioned. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Ian is now from coming so it will be Yeah and especially if he's not got the Zed any longer Quote
H5 Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 It is usually a good event and some good track action. Will be with our Z Club buddies to expand the size of the stand and get a prime location. Details of prices will be in the meets section soon. Quote
Ian Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Ian is now from coming so it will be Yeah and especially if he's not got the Zed any longer Who says I wont have one? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Ian is now from coming so it will be Yeah and especially if he's not got the Zed any longer Who says I wont have one? I thought you'd decided on a Skyline. On another note entirely, what's the snow like with you and is it worth me attempting to get to work in Ponty? Quote
Ian Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I had but I have been having doubts, especially when I nearly sold my Z a few nights ago Not sure what the main roads are like, I cant get out onto them at the moment. Earlier this morning the M4 was running with restrictions but not sure what the A470 is like Quote
