About
This is a brand new car club based in Kent, South East England, aimed specifically at the Japanese car enthusiast. The club encourages people who own vehicles from a variety of manufacturers, such as Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi, to take part and help grow a new community of petrol heads.
For those who are more mature who may feel out of place joining a club such as this, even through our founding members, we have a wide range of people, in various walks of life, from 20’s through to 50’s. As long as you have a love for Japanese vehicles and have a mature approach to driving, we welcome you all to join in.
As a club, we have a number of core aims that include:
- Holding regular events across the year
- Document the best driving roads in the county
- Provide a place for enthusiasts to discuss things car-related
- To welcome anyone who is interested in joining
As the forum is the hub for all club activity, feel free to register for a free account and join in the conversations. Being a new club, joining now will enable you to shape our future and so the club encourages you to suggest any ideas or changes that will improve things for all involved.
So feel free to say hello and post a few photos of your own vehicle, everyone loves to see well maintained, loved, cars. Welcome to this club, we hope to make it something truly special.

Dear Vehicle Enthusiast,
Please except my apologies for this open email. My name is Russell Sparkes an events promoter, who last August Bank Holiday ran the successful East Kent County Show at Folkestone Racecourse, which was attended by over 18,000 people and which, as you may be aware, included over 300 Classic Cars on display, of which you may well have been one of the owners.
Due to the high overheads associated with Folkestone Racecourse and racing commitments of the Course, we have been unable to re-book for the show this year.
We have, however, located a superb site in the heart of “The Weald of Kent” to hold this year’s Hawkenbury Classic Car Show on August Bank Holiday Weekend being August 28th (set up day),29th & 30th (show days) 2010, which we hope and expect will offer in the region of 600/700 fine examples of Classic Cars on display, along with an auto jumble, numerous trade stands, craft stands, food for most tastes including a B-B-Q daily (subject to weather), a Hog Roast and many more food stalls, children’s entertainment and live music by various artists, Bouncy Castles and fun for all the family plus live entertainment each night in the Hawkenbury Country Inn & Restaurant which is directly opposite the showground.
Throughout the day there will be a regular display of exhibitors in a purpose built arena, with commentary from leading collectors, exhibitors and enthusiasts.
Also a private “For Sale” ring is available for those wishing to sell.
Entry for all trade sellers is free of charge with a donation to our chosen charity of £50 for any car sold on the day only.
We welcome trade sellers of all types and 3m x 3m trade stands for peripheral sales are available at only £20 per day.
Prizes will be awarded for the Best Turnout of:-Pre 1950, Pre 1970, Pre 1980, Pre 2000, Custom Car, Kit Car, Military Vehicle, Sports Car, Camper, Tractor and others
The weekend is open to all, camping and accommodation are available, (and most importantly the pub is directly opposite the showground).
Vehicle entries open to all at £3 per vehicle per day plus £3 camping fees (if required) 3 day car pass plus camping £15 for entire weekend (up to 3 nights).
