I recently attended the Japanese Auto Extravaganza held at Wicksteed Park in Kettering. This was over the weekend of September 10th-12th 2010.
Although the weather forecast was poor for all 3 days we decided to still go but take a small caravan. However, as usual, the weather was brilliant. So I'll never be put off from attending again in the future.
We travelled down on the Friday, arriving late afternoon. We shared a pitch this year with http://www.japcars-uk.com/ who invited members of Prelude UK who for some reason did not have a pitch. In previous years the turn out had been excellent, so this was a little disappointing. However the guys and gals from Japcars-uk were very friendly and welcoming, so I had no issues there. It showered on the evening a little, but come Saturday morning beautiful blue skies, with the odd cloud here and there. Sunday was sunny all day.
The show itself was fantastic, with a good selection of cars both old, new, retro, modified, and even a few concourse examples. Good firework display on the Saturday evening too!
Trade stands were there, with some good stuff, but could be larger for the size of the show. May be some car boot sale for parts would be a good idea. Bring and sell or something.
Will definately be going next year, just hope the weather is as good.
Anyway, enough waffling, here are the pics http://www.preludeonline.co.uk/jalbum/index.html
