you could invite trade stands from England over that are jap based to try and get a name for the show people like driftworks may come with their cars and a trade stand

I only cancelled the Fb that was put up to work out interests. Same as the car culture live event was put up just to say yes it's happening.
Few more meetings to attend but aim for event to be established by late January and event date to be July. Lots of work to do.
Also car culture live updates :
Car culture live will be taking place in May at bishops court circuit. A impressive line up of circuit racing including boss Ireland ,seat Cupra cup, gt racing etc stepping entirely away from the boy racer image aiming to mature our flag ship event into a professional mature car enthusiasts event. Circuit /track time or any track activity completely closed to public. May consider auto test.
Show and shine will still take place. I believe the brand needs better regonition for its flag ship event to maintain its life span. And by closing access of the track to the public and favouring more circuit racing we will eliminate certain clyintel from wanting to attend.
I also understand this might come at a price of blow to attendance for differs or drifters but even if we offered up a area for diffing or drifting this clyintels nature has proven time and time again they can't follow simple rules and feel it's there right to diff in out of bound areas or even the road /entrance to a venue.
There actions reflecting 100% on the event /brand. Camping at Ccl is still up for discussion as is if it's 1 or 2 day event.
Any more developments il update as and when I get them any questions get me a lot quicker on Facebook like page. Here's to 2016 !

Titanic exhibition centre booked 9th July !
Judges confirmed as both orchard county detailing & total perfection. Few more odds and ends to tie up and website sub domain pages to build but yeah .. Progress !
Would love to do a retro jap concours competition. Thoughts ?

I know I'm not into the Jap scene, but I've never seen any retro Jap concourse cars at shows? Well unless you count that horrific looking blue MX5? Plus you'll need proper concourse Judges as concourse is worlds apart from show and shine.
'Concourse' category would be pretty difficult to judge... as is 'show n shine'... as we all seem to have different opinions lol
It's all well and good having detailers as judges, but they also need to be well tuned in on the proper 'jap scene' and what makes a show winner for each category! My only advice at the min would be keep it simple and it will flow really well. The base is there now, the cars are in the country, just get them all in 1 place
and hats off to you already for making a date happen... exciting times to have a proper japanese car show again! Really looking forward to it!

I'm not a great fan of showing my car, but I really do object to show'n'shine or concours, I like a clean car but really can't be arsed detailing or being too anal about it, a show to showcase quality jap metal I'd be up for, anything else I'll just visit

Yeh, i wouldnt bother with any specific show and shine bit or concourse bit, just stick them all in together, anyone who wants to win a prize, clean it more, anyone who just wants to take part, euro car wash and some tire slick.
I would suspect the best route is not to get to anal, jap cars are generally more about the driving, performance and modification, and a lot of the time the shinyness comes a close second. Especially if you wish to include some drift cars or rally cars as generally thats were some of the best performance is and funky transplants and mods
A dubshed outlook wont work.

There's something to be said about appreciating Japanese engineering and appreciating some nice rare cars barely seen on these shores.
I would imagine there will be a huge range of both garage queens and well...'others'. Who cares, get them out

For a young lad from Ballymoney you've some set of balls on you. If your attempt at shows isn't credible your ambition is.
