heres my photo diary of the trip to northampton for the santa pod jap show. i was on the stand for http://www.funkypower.com based in ayrshire who ordered almost all the mods for me and fitted a lot of them. was a good weekend away and even better to get a couple of days off work! i took the zed and my mate took his teg type r, 1st pitstop was just before the border, i couldnt even make it into england without needing a leak lol
there were 3 other cars on the stand, another type r import- the current civic saloon, and 2 former time attack cars and championship winners in japan- the hks nsx (now funky power's demo car) and the buddy club integra dc5, both have to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated
made sure my car was nice n clean before i took pics, here she is modelling lol
iv been for a run in the nsx, its unbelievably fast! and thats it de-tuned for british roads lol. the wing isnt the prettiest thing but it needs it lol
the buddy club teg
the 2 type r's
hows this for a mirror shine?? lol
our friends at EP Racing were in the stand next door, spoke to the zed owner, nice chap
and even spotted jay a few stands away, didnt tell me u were goin mate!
also spotted muddy with his heavily modded chilli zed, looks good in pics, looks unbelievable in the flesh! great guy too
also seen this in front of muddy, he told me who owns it but cant remember his screen name, member on here
bumped into quicksilver from here before he hit the track but didnt see him after that. seen the 370z for the 1st time. interior is very impressive, the backs growing on me but not sure of the front...
that was beside this GTR but too crowded for a good photo
lucky enough there was a red one and a carbon modified one
not sure about the carbon but the GTR is gorgeous...
loads of other showcars there. these guys have too much time on their hands... im so jealous lol
some very nice supras
couldnt find vin diesel...
mellow yellow civic jordans...
these 3D vinyls were popular on the celica stand
and a few pink cars...
the kids around this calibra say it all... lol
the rx8 had a nice kit but the colour ruined it lol. not sure wot the older car was... but i did spot this datsun 260Z, 1st iv seen i was impressed
woulda had more pics if my phone wasnt dying lol. was a great trip overall, wont be my last at a major show in england. woulda been good if we had a club stand tho...
that night we stopped off in manchester and this was the highlight of the trip... actually if this wasnt on the agenda i prob wouldnt have went! they gave us not 1 free complimentary donut... but 2! and they got 2 new donuts lol
