As this event still seems to be the biggest annual gathering of NSXCB and as Chris has picked up the event for early organisation, I wondered how many people would be interested in attending an event after the show?

With enough notice and interest we could book a venue with sufficient bedrooms and a function room for maybe a dinner and entertainment, or if anybody else has any suggestions?

I know Paul started by bringing a social event into the club earlier this year with the inaugral NSXCB dinner,(which unfortunatly I couldn't make) but just wondered if this is something the club members are interested in or is the preference to stay with the cliched anorack style car club?;)

This is a good idea as with Japfest you want to have a look around and watch some track action as well as talk to people but it's a lot to do whilst there.

sounds a good plan to me

If you fancy something afterwards then I should be able to help suggest venues and organise.
Afterall.......I am local, for now ;)

[SILVER BULLET]

Great idea getting this event up on the board so early, lets hope we can get everyone out for this one. A bit of a do afterwards would also be good and would presumably need booking fairly early on.

A dinner and get together would be great
as some will be traveling down on Friday, an overnight venue fot friday with dinner etc would perhaps be best
we can also then arrive at Japfest in convoy.

Hi Guy,s
I spoke to the organisers at Japfest today, they are working on the basis of first come first served and there will be a cut off date 6 weeks before the event ie 31st MARCH 2012. this will be the last date at which we can get reduced price tickets and stand passes ( allows your fantastic NSX onto the club stand rather than with the micras and corsas in the public car park)
The sooner we can get money in and order some tickets and passes the better our chance of securing the same stand pitch as previous years.
Pre addmision tickets for clubs are £15 ( £20 after 31 March and on the day)
To make life easy I propose £15.50 per ticket, this will then cover cost of envelope and postage , which will be easier than arranging to hand out tickets and passes on the day. I will then post out tickets and passes around 1st May as soon as I recieve them from Japfest
Payment to me, and I will PM everyone with details of how to pay etc.
The sooner we can get a dozen tickets and passes ordered the best chance of securing our usual pitch.
Trust this is OK with everyone.
Cheers Chris

[Geraint]

Sounds good Chris, thanks again. I'm happy to pay asap, would like two tickets so amending my entry on the list.

Well done Chris. I think the idea of a get together the night before is a great idea, would be up for this as we always stop over on the Friday anyway.

Ian

[NSXGB]

I thought the do was after the show not the night before?
I enjoyed the drive to Japfest just as much as the show itself.

I was refering to one of Chris's earlier posts as a few people travel down the day before to get there in the morning at a good time. It all depends on what the majority want, I'm easy.

Ian

[Senninha]

........ It all depends on what the majority want, I'm easy......Ian

So there not just rumours then Ian :laugh:

[ollie]

i would be up for a get together either Friday or Saturday night

steve

[markc]

Can I do the get together and not the show ;)... or has it got any better since I last went?

Cheers

Mark

[Dragonlady]

So there not just rumours then Ian :laugh:

I think that my husband should get his own log on if there are rumours like that flying around.

Then again even I am worried now!!!! :eek:

Sharon

[Chris B N]

If we have a get together it can be either before or after.
I thought a get together on the Friday might be better for those travelling down on the Friday

I will fit in with the majority
Chris

[Chris B N]

Hi Guy's,
thanks to all who have already sent ticket money.
Kevin at japfest called last night and registration forms are now available.
would appreciate a few more sending ticket money
i can then register NSXCB as attending and this will help secure the same site as the last 2 years.
to date 18 cars confirmed interest
be great to reach the magical 50
Cheers Chris

Hi Guy's,
registered the club today with Japfest for Japfest 2012.
Have requested same stand area as last 3 years
To date have secured 17 advanced tickets and car passes.
So come get your names on the list, get your girlfriend / boyfriend /partner to treat you for Christmas and let's make Japfest 2012 one to remember with a record turnout.
I have also asked Honda for support with a marquee or whatever they can offer
but am waiting on their support logistic plans for 2012. Will keep you posted on this.
Cheers Chris

Dont own an NSX so i did not add my name to the list, just an 18 year old enthusiast who dreams of driving an NSX R at Suzuka :D

[Chris B N]

Now we've got all the festivities out of the way it's time to start serious thought about Japfest 2012.
we are currently at around 20 cars so only another 30 to to make that magical 50.
so come on you petrol heads put May 12th in your Diary and put your name on the list.
It may seem a long way away but cut off date of end March will be on us before you realise it.
We already have some newbies on the list, so need all you regulars out there to get to Japfest to give them a proper
NSXCB welcome.

Cheers Chris

Hi Chris,
Is anything happening or been decided about a get together the night before and a convoy in together? Time is moving along and we need to book some accomodation for the night before.
Or is it going to be the same as last year and meet at the services and convoy from there?

Thanks Sharon

[Chris B N]

As Sharon points out time is moving along so it's time to make that commitment for Japfest.
To date I have 22 cars and 34 members on my list of which 24 tickets ( 14 Cars) have been paid.
So far there is no real positive interest re a pre or post meet
As usual I would expect there will be a couple of convoys organised, one from London area and one halfway along the M4
I am booked in the Premier Inn at Chippenham ( 4miles to CC) for the friday night, maybe we can have a pre meet there on the Friday evening if anyone is interested.
The hotel does get quite full for Japfest weekend so anyone interested should make quick reservations.
The car park is usually quite interesting as well.
If you are interested in the Friday night , book your room and post your interest
I will then reserve a table for 8 pm at the Hotel for the Fri night
Cheers Chris

[Hondaboy]

Me too please plus one chris could you send me details on how to pay thanks

And regards to a meet up on the Friday night yes please will need plenty refreshment after the long drive down

[Chris B N]

To date we have 21 cars and 33 owners/passengers all paid.
Only 28 days left to get your ticket money in so that I can meet the
cutoff date for registering club cars to get the discounted price of £15
per person, and the car passes.
More importantly *** fest will not issue Car passes after the cut off date
You need the pass to get on the club stand.
so guy,s cheque books out or Pay Pal logged on and lets get these numbers up.
If you haven't got pay details please pm me.
Regards to all Chris

This is reasonably "local" for me so would only plan to stay the night before if there is any sort of gathering the night before. Otherwise will meet up on the morning for the NSX procession to Castle Coombe.

Are there any plans for dinner/ drinks/ party/ Hooley/ gathering on the Friday night??? I certainly would be up for it

I'll be there Friday dinner time hopefully and I'm up for dinner and drinks and a party, no idea what a Hooley is but it sounds like fun to me:D

I am happy to help out with any organisation that is required beforehand for:

1) Some sort of gathering the night before?
2) An NSX "drive" to the festival on the morning?
3) The stand (assuming we have a stand??)

Are HUK supporting us?

[Chris B N]

Mike (Sorepaws) is liaising with HUK
The stand is already arranged, our piece of the grass, same as we have had for the last 3 years
all we need to do now is fill it. There are usually a couple of convoys arranged for the morning.

Hi Chris,

Money's transferred, thanx for taking on the event for a second year.

regards, Paul

If all 30 of us arrived in convoy with a reasonable safe distance between us that would be rather impressive 397.35m long (assuming a 50/50 split between NA1's and NA2's) with 2 car lengths between....now that would attract some attention!


I really must do something more useful with my time!

have the japfest tickets landed yet? i ask as the cube club have received thiers....

[Chris B N]

Tickets and stand passes in first class post today.
ours were a little late in arriving due to all the stand places for the day being, sold they had to have more stand passes printed.
Unfortunately we were one of the 4 clubs that had to wait.
Should be with you by Monday.
Look forward to seeing you all there
Cheers Chris

[Chris B N]

I have a few spare stand passes if anyone ones one.
first come first served basis.

[m666 edd]

Good work Chris.

Seems pretty early to get the stand passes and tickets considering its not even May yet.

[Ewan]

Arrived this morning, thanks Chris!

I see we're in a different place than usual, though - a little further out of the way? The pass says Area QR but the club layout page has us in area F:

[Senninha]

IIRC, area F is where we were the first year we attended ... Loads of space for James to be creative with his display ....

[214nsx]

Received ticket and pass this morning, thanks chris.

[Hondaboy]

Received with thanks under two weeks to go I better start the detailing now lol

[Papalazarou]

IIRC, area F is where we were the first year we attended ... Loads of space for James to be creative with his display ....

I remember it well. there will certainly be a lot of interesting stuff around us. And luckily it's nowhere near the quarry corridor.

Cheers,

[SILVER BULLET]

Tickets arrived this morning, thank you Chris,

Cheers,

Ian

[britlude]

got the tickets this morning, hurrah....

on a more annoying note, i went to the japfest site map link above, and it looks we've moved from the 'over the bridge' location (A) to near where we were first year ( F is slightly further out than our first area E) ....

unfortunately it looks like Sarah's cube club has moved from area E to area A... bloody typical, still gotta walk miles, actually further than before!!!!!

[Senninha]

Received with thanks under two weeks to go I better start the detailing now lol

If only I had the time .... More likely to present the 'used' look than 'investment' look ... Unless nature washes it on route ...

[L696ULO]

[Geraint]

Thanks again for organising and sorting the tickets Chris :thumbsup:

What happened to the SW convoy thread (and indeed the regional meets area)? Was there a problem with it? :dunno:

[Chris B N]

Papa is organising something from the S W

[Papalazarou]

Thanks again for organising and sorting the tickets Chris :thumbsup:

What happened to the SW convoy thread (and indeed the regional meets area)? Was there a problem with it? :dunno:

Kevin never wanted a regional section, so I guess he's deleted it.
I had posted some meeting times and places on the M5.

Grrr,

James.

[Geraint]

Shame :(

I liked it, and I seem to remember it had some interesting thoughts on the Evora from your visit to the Lotus centre, has all that gone too? :shakefist:

Anyway, back on topic, I'll post in the other thread re meeting up...

[Problem Child]

What happens when we arrive at Castle Coombe. Is someone sorting out who parks where on our patch or is it a free for all?

[Problem Child]

Dont know where everyone is coming from but why don't we all try and meet and arrive together. I have suggested that the guys coming from the SAAAAff East meet up with the Tractor boys from the SOuth West at Junction 18 on the lay by just north of the B4465 at 0800.

What do you think?

and as for a running order I suggest CHris BN leads us in as he sorted out our tickets!

[Chris B N]

For those going to Japfest for the first time, enter through gate C then just bear right.
Not quite sure where we are then as last 3 years we have been on CC, this time C QR.
might be difficult to get everyone together for a huge entrance.

[Jammy]

Got my tickets, but with great regret I am not going to be able to make this now :(

Thanks for the excellent planning and organising on the event anyway, and apologies for the late notice.

If anybody would like 2 tickets and a vehicle pass just let me know, £20 for the both reasonable given the late notice?

Thanks,
James

[britlude]

What happens when we arrive at Castle Coombe. Is someone sorting out who parks where on our patch or is it a free for all?

there will be an area allocated for us, the marshals on the gate will direct you! it's just a case of getting there, and once most are there the fun arranging the cars begins, usually followed by a great display being slightly cocked up by late-comers!!!!!

[Chris B N]

just need to make sure the Charlottes stick together

[Problem Child]

So who is arranging the cars on the display or is it a free for all????

[Problem Child]

http://www.theweatheroutlook.com/forecast/uk/sn14%207ey

Forecast for Saturday is getting better.

Hope the woolybacks from Wales dont bring the rain with them too

[Problem Child]

Maybe need a spare ticket. Dropped my car off at Prestige detail in Luton today to get it ready for Japfest and the owner might want to join us.

if you can't get someones spare, entry tickets for people can be bought at the gate, car passes can't... tho i'm sure a photocopier would cope.... i think the first year we even printed our own!!!!

[Problem Child]

He'd be coming in my car with me.

[Chris B N]

Geoff,
I have a spare ticket,
see you at Swindon West on Friday
Cheers Chris

[Tokyo-Joe]

Hey guys, sorry if i've missed this but are you sending the tickets out to us?

EDIT: Ah I see many have theirs, but mine have not arrived :(

[Problem Child]

Thanks Chris, looks like the guy from Prestige Detail is coming with me so will confirm asap. He's got my car all week and then he plans to finish off detailing my car in the car park on Saturday morning, so I am mightily impressed!

[Senninha]

Hey Geoff,

Ask your valeter to bring some detail spray and he can give the group a quick top n tail whilst we grab him a coffee :)

Regards, Paul

[Problem Child]

Just spoke to him and he says he'll do what he can for all you silvers, yellows, whites etc but says they wont look as good as my RED

[Hondaboy]

Thanks Chris, looks like the guy from Prestige Detail is coming with me so will confirm asap. He's got my car all week and then he plans to finish off detailing my car in the car park on Saturday morning, so I am mightily impressed!

Mate your valeter could polish your car for the next ten years but it will still be RED :D

[scottg]

As I am a Japfest first timer what time do you guys recommend arriving for?

[britlude]

from past experience i'd aim to be at the gate at 8 as far as planning and satnav is concerned.

last year sarah met with the cube club on the m4 services (westbound, Leigh delamere) they left there at 8.30, and managed to get parked up at 10.30, the 8 mile journey taking 2 hours...traffic gets a tad busy.....

basically earlier the better!!

[sigilobaphomet]

Chris & Guys

Unfortunately a work commitment that was supposed to happen today has been rearranged at the last minute to this Friday late afternoon/early evening :no: and has been relocated from Manchester to Leeds :angry:

This means that I will not be able to attend my first Japfest on Saturday - I am gutted as I have been looking forward to this for 6 months :(

Any member who doesn't have tickets and is looking to go please PM me and I will send my 2 tickets FOC first class - at least someone else may enjoy what I am missing.

Sorry again to let the club and stand down for the day :upset:

Gents,

Paul and I will be meeting 5.45am around J28 of M25 and heading northbound ... this should get us to the M4 J12 meeting point for 7ish.

Anyone wishing to join us anywhere on route please let us know and we'll try to co-ordinate rolling meetings along the M25.



regards, Rich

[blueheaven]

This will be my 1st Japfest and NSXCB meet also doing Silverstone Classic. Coming from shropshire sat morning setting out 5am if any one else travelling in same direction would be happy to meet up. Looking forwrad to meeting you all to put faces to names Roy .

[Silver Surfer]

Hi Roy
Wellcome to the club.
4 years and only posting now?!!
looks like you are catching up with Japfest and SSC.

SS

[Tokyo-Joe]

I got my ticket today, thanks! I'll be heading down a little later then most, looking forward to meeting you all. I'm in black c7nsx.

[Tokyo-Joe]

A lovely afternoon and nice to meet many of you :) This has given me some expensive ideas.. The purple facelift was stunning.

[drmikey]

Very nice stand you had there everyone - lovely show of cars. Maybe next year our race NSX might make an appearance!

[SILVER BULLET]

Good to see everyone today, many thanks to Chris for organising the event and the fantastic weather,we also had a great Special Stage:eek: (detour) which made things very interesting.We are now at home watching the F1 qualifying with glowing faces, look forward to seeing everyone at SSC in July,

Cheers,

Ian

[Problem Child]

Agreed, Silver surfer (apart from you nearly rear ending me on the way there!)

Good to catch up with you all and a stunning collective of NSX's each with their owners individual stamp on them. Too many to mention them all but my highlights were were

Pauls exhaust noise was like a symphony!
the Beautiful Imola Orange Pear Targa
Kares supercharger
Seanh's leather interior (Hmmmm, got me thinking!)
The grey 55plate with the blue interior.....stunning
Roys Blue Heaven (as long as he wasnt referring to Man City)
Someones (cant remember who) HID headlight upgrade
Hondaboys alloys
All NSXs were great, each in a different way
and got to meet Kaz!!!!

but where are all the pictures?

[henry_mac]

Had a great day today, great to see so many great cars on display. Thanks Chris for organising.
Thanks for the lemon drizzle cake - very nice. Good to chat to other owners. Impressed by fellow Glaswegian who made it down for the event.
That was a great shortcut we found on the way in - must remember that for next time, although a little adventurous, very quick way in and straight to the gate - more by luck than judgement.
Some Photo's + vids here..http://gallery.me.com/hmckeon#100373

[Silver Surfer]

Thanks Henry for showing the way in (indeed a top short cut...in in 15mins!!!)...I think we went down Cromhall Lane joining the B4039...remember for next year!!!
Sorry Jeff...tried to have a closer look at your polished arse.
I concur the lemon drizzle cake was delicious.

That Civic Boot Triple Bass boomer was loud and irritating.

Pics on a new thread.

[328]

Hi guys!

It was a brilliant day...great weather and great people from the club to catch up with! A Big thank you to Chris who flawlessly organised a great japfest event!

The only downside worth mentioning was the 3hour queue, but was great in a way that phil, Ewan and olly managed to have a mini meet every 5-10 mins!

The other things were a car in front of me that must have got through at least 5 joints! And the very eager kids behind who were trying to cloud the skies with rubber from tyre burning, in a built up family residential area.....which was just so annoying.

Still was an amazing day and will catch up at silverstone classic.


Cheers,

Andy

[kowalski]

Shame I missed this again, was looking forward to it but only returned to Europe on Saturday morning! hope you all had a great day, hopefully will make next years...

Lets see some pictures!

Leigh

[simonprelude]

Good to catch up with some of you even though it was only brief. The queues even with local knowledge were a nightmare as it took over two hours before I could get to the back roads. Unfortunately I had to get back for my daughter who was with the other half for the first time on her own.

Hope to see you all next year properly when I'll be in something a little different. The ideas already there and someone reaffirmed it, hope it's welcome ;) Just hope the next 12 months are as good as the last. It was only when someone spoke about seeing me last year that I even remembered I was there.

[scottg]

My first Japfest and having set of early we were the second car to arrive thanks to Nigel in his stunning white facelift NSX letting us in on the roundabout. As I came with a friend and we had another at the other side of the circuit with his 450bhp Evo 8 we didn't spend much time around my car but we did meet half a dozen or so very friendly owners. Silverstone sounds like a must so I will ensure I spend more time meeting other owners in July.
Having only had my car a few weeks and also squeezing in a holiday it was the first decent run in the car traveling from Poole along some great A and B roads. The car felt fantastic so I look forward to some more days out now we appear to have a summer on its way

[Papalazarou]

Well, didn't expect to be back in an NSX for JF. Again! I was seriously shopping for a Boxster Spyder. But when the opportunity came up it seemed like an interesting curve ball.
So the highlights of the day for me was having a car to drive, Gary's facelift conversion; truly awesome. Roy's LBB and the endless piss taking about owning five cars in seven years.
It was great to see everyone again. Thanks to Chris for doing a great job organising our stand.

Cheers,

James.

[Senninha]

Its always good to have these large meetings ... they always throw up a few surprises.

The only negative was the Q's this year, absolutley terrible for some and this needs feeding back to the organisers please.

On the upside ... Andy's Silverstone 55 NSX-T ... still for me the best colour on a facelift, even though Gary's project has turned out really well and looks great, and Roy's solo LBBP really stood out being the only one on display this year.

New NSX owners are always welcome and I like to hear how they got hooked, where they found their NSX and help with intro's as necessary.

It was a shame the well organised arrival convey failed at the last hurdle; that layby \ traffic light junction was waaaaaay to scary for the volume of cars we tried to get together ... maybe an hour earlier would have worked?? Still, we have the SSC to get it right.

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, had a safe journey home and didn't get as sun burnt as Rich appeared as we parted our return journey ... he was almost the same colour as his NSX!

See you all again soon

regards, Paul

[L696ULO]

As always it was good to meet old faces and new. Many thanks to Chris for organising it. Looking forward to SSC.

Yes Paul, when I got home and looked in the mirror I was a bit red and with my grey hair an even better match of my NSX!

Regards Rich

[Hondaboy]

Really enjoyed my first japfest and was great to meet members and put names to faces etc sorry to those I didn't talk to will hopefully do so next time, all the cars were lovely especially the other White ones:)

Me and my pal were very red faced not being used to such lovely weather lol and the drive home was fine until the last 90 miles strong winds heavy rain and surface water had me crawling up the inside lane at 50 mph after a heart stopping moment at 80mph through a flooded section:eek:

Though apart from another stone chip that was the only drama in a 800 mile round trip so can't complain oh yeah apart from the crazy shortcut to japfest involving the tightest roads I've driven down and how that horse squeezed past I'll never know:D

Can't wait to see you all again

[214nsx]

Good to catch up with you all and thanks chris for organising, I had a great day even though we had queued for 3hrs is still a enjoying one as andy mention we ( andy, ewan, olly, ian, and sharon ) manage to have a mini meet every 5- 10 mins :).

Have to said it was a brilliant day would love to catch up at silverstone classic, but unfortunally wife already booked a mediterranean cruises on the 21 july.
So hopefully can catch you guys on another meet.

Phill

[andy300]

thanks to chris for organising japfest , we had a great day , and good to put faces to names on here , it was a interesting route we took to get there at least i no what the countryside looks like arond there now !!, the drifting seems like it could be fun to do , and great to see so many nsx together , andy

Haha nice one though you clearly didn't think your joke through as a downhill section wouldn't have been flooded;)
