Obviously Ryan meant You're (meaning You are) and not your (meaning belonging to you).
The lack of a beginning of sentence capital was also fully intended of course.

Now, who was the muppet again ? :shifty:

:D :D :withstupid:

Fidgits

Monster-Mat

Fidgits
OI!!! I'm not a southerner!! :P

I'm as northern as they come.. I just happen to live down here... but that doesn't mean I don't love a good meat n tattie pie :P
IS200RJR
im new to all this jap car business! i had a MGTF befor i saw the light and got my IS200. So could someone tell me a bit more about this jae thing ?
iv been on the website and all they tell you is that its gonna be better than last year so not a great deal of help that ?
Fidgits
It is simply the greatest car meet of the year (in the world.. ever)

a 3-day event, aimed at Jap motors, sexy women, sun, beer, laughs a plenty...

If you like cars/beer you have to come...
rhaines
LOL.. if you search the forum there are a number of posts about JAE but in brief it's the biggest Jap Car show in the UK, held once a year at Billing Autodrome during the last weekend of July.

Over 2500 cars will be attending the show with most people staying in hotels or camping on site. Massive firework display on the Saturday night, massive amounts of drinking and of course shed loads of monster jap cars of all descriptions.

If your only going to do one car show a year this is defaintely the mother of all jap car shows and not one to be missed....
tony_hetherington
99% definately going to be there. I live in the Medway Towns in Kent, so will go clockwise up the M25 and meet you somewhere on the M1.

What's the name of the services at the M1/M25 junction? I can picture them - the ones that used to have the F1 shop there that's now closed down.
Monster-Mat
for club pictures from lst year look [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/JAE"]here[/url]

and for a little more info click [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=25&t=6642"]here[/url]
Fidgits
I didn't think there was services at M1/M25... you might be thinking of M25/A1??

The Travelodge is about 3 mins up the M1 anyway, you pull off the M1, head down a Dual carrigeway, and it's 200 yards on the left, just before a petrol station...
IS200RJR
thanks il be sure to see you all there two of my mates have toyota's (T sport yaris and T sport corola) So il be tagging along with them from essex
Fidgits
ROUTE HAS BEEN MODIFIED.....

Please check and confirm where you will meet us...

We currently have 2 meet points where no-one is meeting us...

If you do not post your intention, then these meet points will be deleted...
Nick-Johnson

Fidgits

anyway. with current route, we'll meet you guys up M1 luton services. J15A's quite high, but not to worry.

(like i say, we'll be going clockwise round M25)
Fidgits
Tony, maybe you could arrange with Bazza (and anyone else.. .hint hint Kavey) and convoy up to the M1 services, and then we can join forces...
tony_hetherington
That's fine with me.

Who else is going clockwise round M25 ?

What are the plans for the Friday night?

dunno about whether I can make it on the Saturday - but will be in London on the Friday (more than likely).


could meet up with the Friday nighters @ JAE around 8-9pm?

are there plans other than sitting around drinking?

That doesn't seem possible. Are you sure you've got your routings right? (assuming you're going from Purley)

you are right i had the distance on countdown
and as i had put in 2 destinations as such it counted down
then started again at first stop

but it is still only 12 more miles!
and the M40 has some lovely countryside :blush:

why you assume purley ??
i moved from there 22 years ago
you must have a good memory :geek:

:winky: Somebody say my name? :lol:

I've got JAE in my diary :) but I might have to go to Japan with work and might not be around :(

I should know in the next couple of weeks what the score is...

If I'm not going to Japan, I'll be there... with my tent... and a crate of b33r for the Friday.. :P

:P
Fidgits
good to hear it Kavey... :D
rhaines
Considering JAE doesn't officially start until the Saturday were not to bad for the Friday party people....

Does anyone have a portable stereo or something we could use for tunes over on the camp site as the cars will be on the stand won't they ?
ricky_is200
no, we'll be sitting around the cars if its like last year. Have to take it in turns to have the stereo on so as to not run down the battery!

If we have the Lexus trailor again, that has a DVD player, Plasma TV and a cool stereo.
