[blackie_2k5]

Be reeeeet.

Mass convoy in the slow lane.

closer to you this year

[smiith]

Looks like i will never be going again.. 5 hours, and 270 miles either way.. Was bad enough it been 3 and a bit hours drive, specially since i get bored after about 2 hours looking around and set off home!

[Beaniemoo]

I'll still be going!
2.5 hours away from me
Looking forwar to it

[blackie_2k5]

theres nothing to say itll be there every year.. just couldnt get donnington this year

but if its good i can imagine itll stay there

can camp this year and stay all weekend..show is on the saturday and sunday is a chill out day..can do club parade laps etc

[ed-bradley]

closer to you this year


Meh, 270ish miles either way.
I'll be based at raf valley when FCS is on.

Fuck it, I'll still be going. Be there in 2 hours max. :clapping:

[smiith]

Thought FCS was usually at rockingham? Or did they do donnington last year? Thats the only year i haven't gone..

Not worth the treck even with camping.. I'd rather wait and go to trax for driving that sort of distance, to see a bigger variety of cars

[Davyy]

100 miles each way, niceee!

[blackie_2k5]

its a long way for anyone up north really..just count your chickens your not as far away as me ;)

[saxoboi85]

Try coming from co.wexford Republic of Ireland :( long drive for me on me tod

I wont be camping, no way. fuck that. I camped for a show the other year and it was fuckin shit. wake up damp, all sorts.

hotel for me. I'll be leaving after work at dinner time. (half shift). then get there for 6ish pm. then get the beers down :drink: then what happens after. :cool:

Show Sat. Sunday will be a relaxing day till i leave for the yawnathon drive. Ive got it planned out roughly. Also hotels next to Castle combe ready.

:fcuk:
:fcuk:

[Cam]

I'll be there Sat and going home to my bed.

At Santa pod i sleep in my car lol, best sleep ever after being awake for 3 days.

[Baz]

Must have been pretty wank last year at Donny then! FCS is pretty poor anyways, all about Trax for me

[piranhamatt]

12 miles away for me. Lololol


There's a travel lodge in Chippenham outskirts, a couple miles away.

[Jordysport]

Yes! at fucking last!!! only an hour to combe for me :D :D

[josh11490]

mark dow..organiser/owner pfc

[Sophia_Bush]

well another year I won't be going

[Ross]

First year in a while I won't be going now. Been getting progressively more shit every year. 3 hour trip has now killed any chance I'll go.

Poll added. :)

[jeffchiz]

should be back at rockingham! only 10min away from me then lol

its a long old drive for me but i have mates/club members living in oxford which is about half way so i can do it in a couple stints lol

[josh11490]

I'm unsure what stand ill be on...

[Prickle]

I'm unsure what stand ill be on...

go on the stand johns on :homme:

thats the stand ill be on :zainy:

[swampy]

thought the new location was more central?

think its yet another nail in the coffin of FCS as a show, being getting gradually worse over the last 5 years or so.

[Simon]

2 hours for us.
Which means we will get a hotel

Rockingham was an hour and donongton was 30 minutes.
These were close enough to just drive there on the morning.

So looking like we will still go.
As this was the only show we were planning to do this year.

[SAXO8VYO]

Decent only 30minute drive for me

[josh11490]

go on the stand johns on :homme:

thats the stand ill be on :zainy:

I was talking about your stand on the fb page the other day ;) yours is the stand I was thinking of going on tbh. Want to ask a question but ill do it on there, don't wanna piss the mods off lol.

[Yamaha318]

1hour 40mins for me this year! WOOP

[DAMSK11]

2 hours 53 mins :( Might still go if I have the saxo

[griff_106]

Providing the South East lot get a good convoy I'll be there - it's only 130 miles/just over 2 hours from my house. Tempted to save a bit of petrol on the way up and have a go out on track tbh... :)

How come we don't get a stand? :S

[wassy78]

2 hour 45 min me driving 4 hours lol 146 miles still going ;)

[wicked-vtr]

Not miles from me, don't have a french car though! On the plus side if none of the usual suspects go we might get some new faces winning the awards.

Edit:80 miles, shouldn't take too long, if I can be arsed to drive there to look at French shitboxes all day.

[manta]

Not worth the petrol, I'd rather put the money in the goodwood fund than go to that shower of shit show.

[Viper]

Japfest wasn't good at Castle Coombe so i cant see this being any better. One road in and one road out.

Enjoy.

[Prickle]

Any pics of that show (area). pushing it?

[Andy_K]

180 miles. 3.5hrs drive. May think twice about going this year

[0rang3peel]

oh super, like 10 mins from my old mans house.

might go for once

[jpsaxo]

Ill be there :D about 2hours from me

It's not very central in the country though which is a shame and will mean more people don't bother I'd imagine

[willsy]

Hmm 115 miles (2hr 15m says SatNav) for me

It's do able, ill buy a ticket but It'll be a decision on the day as to whether to make the trip. Long way if weathers awful

[saxplee]

Im still going. will camp aswell :)

[LSOfreak]

yeah much better! only 1.5hrs away, straight down the m4

[danny-vts]

I'm still going, will be asleep in wassy's car lol

[wadoryu]

If my delayed vts is ready ill be there, closest trackday circuit for me anyway :D

[sexy_gt]

Id like to go but its too far away now :/

[Ross]

On reflection,. I'll probably buy a ticket as above and decide closer to the day whether to go or not.

Griff - we'll (Sax-p) have a stand at FCS almost certainly - and as per usual, all will be welcome. We just organise the cars around on the day for the best looking stand :)

[MR_N]

As always there will be haters complaining about venue choice but it was always going happen, cant please everyone. Only 1.5 hours from me this year rather than 3.5! I'm happy and the circuit is top!
Does anyone know what day is going to be the main day for us? (Most people / awards etc) I assume saturday.

[welshpug]

those moaning about the distance, MTFU, what about the Belgians Dutch, Swedes and Norwegians that come to Pugfest eh? one guy did 800 km BEFORE the ferry across to Hull! :homme:

I'm glad it'll be at a smaller venue like Combe, hopefully put off the chavs. :P

Never been, might go for once :fcuk:

[iw_laurence]

Might go again this year. Only 1.5hours plus 1 hour boat so not that bad. Beats the 4+ hours drive I used to make lol

[Chr15]

This.

Too many letdowns on Sax-P!

[Bobo0907]

200 miles? Bitch please...

From google maps

556 mi, 9 hours 15 mins In current traffic: 9 hours 15 mins

[KamRacing]

Castle Combe is too small and does not have the capacity to hold a show like FCS. Nice track but thats about it!

[tweeqd]

everyone complained about rockingham, donny doubled the price from last year and MSV want bucket loads of money to use one of there tracks which would double the ticket price, putting everyone off.

im quite pleased its coombe, donny is 250 miles which is over 3 hours with a trailer
although i cant see it being there next year, im with kam, combe is quite small

[blackie_2k5]

The main show is on the Saturday

Stands Etc are to be positioned all around the track and supposed to be organised alot better with much more trade and more stuff to do this year

And if camping its only £10 per night plus your ticket for the weekend which is £15.. Ill be in hotel but have considered camping, cheap as fuck and will be a bar and night entertainment

[nicole_]

320 miles, 5 and a half hours for me, ouch :/

[AlexB]

ill be there
2 hours 8 minutes
no sterio
solid engine mounts
800kilo car on 300lb and 23mm bars
max of about 25mpg
you lot bitching need to man up lol

3 hours in a comfy car vs me youll be fresh as a daisy

[DanTvts]

Will probably go as its not far from me at all! Couldnt go last year so it would be good to try and get there this time!

[simmo]

2.5hrs for me = i'll decide closer to the time. (If pugs even back on the road :( )

[tomsmarty]

Massive 20 minute drive for me, lovely.

[MartinObviously]

200 miles? Bitch please...

From google maps

556 mi, 9 hours 15 mins In current traffic: 9 hours 15 mins

It'll no be in the fuckin rallye though will it!?

You gonna head down here to Perth again, then towards Glasgow and down the M6 like last year?

[rob_s]

distance doesn't really bother me tbh

what was a shock this year was how late on it is, i cant make it as were booked to be on holiday for 2 weeks,this weekend falling on our first week

i was counting onit being in june/early july like normal

but o well always next year!

if people really want to go they will do no matter what distance it is tbh

[griff_106]

Good man - it'll be a laugh!

Ahh right cool I must've got the wrong end of the stick - didn't fancy sticking mine on the 106oc stand (if they're having one).

Can't be arsed to camp - hotels over mullering my back anyday :y:

[Gabbastard]

more than an 800 mile round trip for me. Christing fuck!

[Prickle]

320 miles, 5 and a half hours for me, ouch :/

Going from your fb profile Nottingham to Castle combe is 150 miles? where did you get 320 miles from?

Probably round trip.

[Liamjrhodes]

This thread shows why the french car scene is so poor in the UK if this was a dub or jap show everyone would be fine to travel. I mean look at all the europeans that come over every year often with multiple days driving.

[leeroybrown]

Must have been pretty wank last year at Donny then! FCS is pretty poor anyways, all about Trax for me

Got it in one!

[knight-22]

Might go again this year. Only 1.5hours plus 1 hour boat so not that bad. Beats the 4+ hours drive I used to make lol

Are you made of money? ;)

Isn't the ferry around £40 for a car.. each way!? :panic:

[Bobo0907]

It'll no be in the fuckin rallye though will it!?

Working on it! But doubt it will be ready.

Don't know, I never went last year mine. But probably be the M6 aye. You going?

[Davyy]

[Bobo0907]

anyone know what date it is this year??

26th, 27th and 28th of July.

[Jordysport]

Japfest wasn't good at Castle Coombe so i cant see this being any better. One road in and one road out.

Enjoy.

You obviously haven't been to combe much then, there are many many exits,

[tweeqd]

the action days at combe are always well run so id imagine we wont have the complete gang fuck that was track time at donnington last year

[blackie_2k5]

You going Martin? Need to see the ax

[tweeqd]

[blackie_2k5]

Nice, so you're staying over till the Sunday? Doing free photo shoots and club parade Laps etc on the sun :)

[tweeqd]

yes im staying, trying to get my 205 gti6 done so i can use it on track and trying to get the 205 hotrod there aswell if they will let it on track

[Viper]

You obviously haven't been to combe much then, there are many many exits,

Japfest last year only seemed to use one. There was a fucking HUGE traffic queue through a craopy country lane for miles.

JohnG, no pics of the area really. Quite a lot of it is grass standing so if it rains a lot, good luck.
S15OC got the hard standing around the track so you're laughing if you get that.

[MartinObviously]

Working on it! But doubt it will be ready.

Don't know, I never went last year mine. But probably be the M6 aye. You going?

Ayeeeee should be, just need a job first :y:

I can choose whether to roll down in Rallye Steels or 15" nimrods :D

[LSOfreak]

26th, 27th and 28th of July.

ffs! why's it so late this year?? it was the begining of june 2 years ago

[t-dogg]

2hrs 30mins to ferry, 3hrs 30mins on ferry, 3hrs from ferry to show, looking forward as its my 18th birthday present, it's going to be a very long day, but can't wait ;)

[Ryan]

But nope i doubt ill bother wasting money going lol.

[jpsaxo]

Are you made of money? ;)

Isn't the ferry around £40 for a car.. each way!? :panic:

I'm flying back from oz to go to this (amongst other things) lol
