If you have a 'pass', you can get into the SIDC allocated parking area, whatever time you turn up

That was a great convoy and my first one as well as a Subaru owner , having been to the last 3 Japfest's i can see why not so many people want to go this year, IMHO the show has got worse year by year and as someone has said unless your going on track there's not much to do as once you've been around the limited trade stands, i also think the new parking arrangements for the SIDC don't help

Excellent. I'll be there.
Does anyone have a spare pass that I can buy, so I can get into the SIDC parking area.

Guys,

Father in law is still very ill in hospital so I'm not going to make the trip tomorrow. Nothing bad should happen to him but I'd rather not risk a few hours journey incase I'm needed here. I'm gutted that I'm not going to make it, but family comes first I'm afraid.

I spent the afternoon detailing the scooby incase I came. I's so show ready bufty wise:



Have a great day and take me plenty of pics please.
