JDM event Castle Combe
Discussion
I usually go to the JDM Castle Combe event, and have been for the last few years. You usually get the usual mix of 'Jap' car enthusiasts, and the more custom/modding scene crew (similar to Japfest). But at the event this weekend it just had a weird vibe with the people there, the demographic seems almost totally tattooed-up guys and girls 19-25, most with a Cosplay/Manga sub-culture thing going on, and not from the best parts from whatever towns they live in. I really felt like an outsider at an event, not really aimed at 'car guys', overall it felt like quite a downmarket/rough event this year - shame.
But on the upside, the JDM scene seems to attract young people who are clearly passionate about their hobby/lifestyle and where these cars fit into it, so that has to be good for the future of the Jap car scene overall.
