Appreciating The Culture: DB On The Quay
Another show we made our way to in 2019, just before we left for Japan, was DB on the quay.
What I liked about this event was the dockside location and the varied mix of cars. Usually, our BBQ is primarily bringing Japanese machinery through the friends we have met over the years. I’ve always wanted to include more variety, but we seem to have a nack in creating bonds with people with the same interest, more specifically Japanese cars.
Ireland has a very diverse car culture, and sometimes it’s hard to bring a mixed bag of enthusiasts together as they tend to stay in their groups. We have a show called Japfest which promotes Japanese cars, and we have VW and old Ford events with a similar style, again usually bringing people from the same crowds together.
There are not too many events like DB on the quay, which tries to bring all types of people together, so we enjoyed seeing Silvia’s parked next to Golfs. There’s no doubt Ireland has a love affair with Japanese car culture, but some other world-class machines are on display from different corners of the car spectrum seldom seen on Juicebox. Combine the excellent weather with good cars, and you have the perfect recipe for a decent event.
I’ll let the photos do the talking.
