JAE 2015
What a weekend!
So as you know both me and Chloe were driving on new engines and we used JAE as the test for them both mine had only covered 80miles before the off.
But we can safely say they performed brilliantly!
No issues at all!
Arriving at the hotel on Wednesday tired and worn out from silly driving roads.
We parked up in the corner away from other cars to try and prevent car park dings.
Checked into the Premier Inn and got changed.
Chloe needed to go out and drop the rear ride height.
When we went back out I think we started a trend JAE corner this fine Glanza belonged to a lovely bloke called Nick and his partner we chatted about the upcoming weekend and showed each other our interesting ways of packing small cars.
Chloe finished lowering the rear and we did what everyone does after a long day... went for a beer and a meal.
Then spotted this in the car park!
John's R32 skyline.
Sent him a message over Facebook and he joined us for a beer! What a legend! We talked about the issues with setting up a new location and how long he and the others had been on site.
Woke up the next morning and went and had breakfast all you can eat! Take advantage of that!
Time to check on the cars and get ready for midday and the 1 mile drive we had left.
We then realised we had parked under trees and sap had spotted all over the cars!
Quickly polished them up while talking to a gent from the GTO owners club, he said he wanted a k11 as a daily so obviously we tried to convince him.
We set off for newark showground and we're some of the first in the venue... Thought we would be first micras but no!!! We saw Ed Storer a little further up and went and said hello.
Introductions over it was time to get in the showground.
John sees Eds, mine and Chloes k11s and waves us forward for a quick entry. Wrist bands on and time to find the stand... hmm harder than it looks!
Not long to wait before Joe Ralph and Iris arrive with a strange looking jap car... (Skoda) and the club HQ.
Joe tells us James had been out the night before in London... and wouldn't be here for at least 3 hours!
We made a plan and put up the tent and made our self's at home for the next few nights.
Many more arrived and the stand soon started filling up
James arrived and we put up the marquee, and got properly setup.
