I thought I would share the pictures of Jap fest that was held at Castle Combe this weekend. It was a good show with loads of action on the track to watch.


I go all the way to Jap Fest at Castle Combe and the first car of note I see is a Monaro!



Here are a couple of pics of the other that were there cars.

Some great pics there, looks like a good day out. I'm liking the thin 5 spoke alloy look on the Ro. They seem to have Holden centres. He/she must have stuck them on as they don't look like stock wheels.

Some of the motors look a little chavtastic.

The blue Ro with the Wolfrace wheels (19" was also at the Walkinshaw open day (which I think is where he got the HSV centres from). iirc it's an 04 CV8 with the focus pac from Monkfish. I also recognise the Evo (Y5 BOW) which is a local car... reputed to be running in excess of 600bhp. I shoulda gone, looks like it was a great day. Nvm, mebbe next year.

Do the chicks on the bonnet come as standard or are they screw-ons?? (Or should I say bolt-ons!)

It's a new mod. Instead of cold air intake, they provide hot air outlet with dual airbags. Unfortunately, they can emmit an annoying whining noise if you drive too fast.

Buddum-Tish!

Doesn't that red 240Z look ace? Nostalgia is great, ie someone else gets all the hassle of owning a classic.

I did not see a VXR Ro there but my HSV GTS was there so your friend could have got confused as I have the same bonnet as a 2005 VXR Monaro.
