Will obviously leave this to the respective REO as to whether your area would want to take part in this.

 

It's easy access for all South Central members being just off the A303 near Wincanton.

 

Haynes Motor Museum is an awesome place. We had a Z meet there about 6 or 7 years ago and people came from Wales, Devon, Cornwall, the south coast. I think it's high time another large gathering was organised for those that either don't want to make the drive up to northern wherever to where most of the large shows are.

There are some awesome cars here and it really is a great day out and not expensive. If anyone isn't aware of this place, then I'd be surprised. It's owned by John Haynes who started the Haynes Manuals and is one of the largest car collections in the UK. Entrance is only a tenner, so it isn't going to break anyone's bank. There are cars from all walks of life from classics to super cars, even a few chavy modified things that they built with Lax Power, so if you're into your filler and fibreglass, you can get your fix here too! :)

 

Sunday September 1st is actually the 'rare breeds event' and it certainly would be good to bring some Z32s to the mix and maybe of the 350z club or Zclub want to join in, that would be awesome.

Echo I should be there

Awesomeness. I'll be headed down to Portsmouth after if anyone else is heading back that way.

Well you have to go past Bournemouth so yes

Not quite, I'd be A303 -> A36 -> M27

Sounds like a laugh! I'l be heading back A36 way to Lymington

Yeah we will be with you some of the way I expect.

if i can cure my fuel leak in time count me in

This one I'll definately be coming, if anyone wants a lift then I have 3 seats spare. Must be within reasonable distance to Winchester though haha ;)

Tommo, can you give me your name and car details for registration purposes?

I will be a303 all the way

.....also, if you can aim to get to Podimore Services for 9.15, that would be great. :)

It's not a Z32, if you still need it though - Tom driving a Jaguar S-Type. See you at 9:15 :)

Oh ok cool. We will have a pre-meet before heading there, then those bringing their Zs will drive to the track area for the show, but there are plenty of parking spaces outside the main museum. The track is right next to it.

 

There are about 5 or 6 without their Zs I think? So it's great to meet before hand.

As said in general discussion....., I'm still hoping to get along to this also.....

 

.....Julia is taking part in a sponsored run somwhere for a charity I probably don't know about; and I do not have work on Monday so I could be on for this!! I just need to give the Z a wash tomorrow or Saturday - the front is covered in dead flies from a couple of recent Sunday outings

 

What time is everyone getting there?

 

Richard:shuriken:

I certainly hope to be there.... I'll wait for your notes as I have no idea where Podimore is...:lol:

 

Looks like an early start for me Sunday morning, but that's how I like it when taking the Z out:wink: Am I too late to get on the stand with you chaps - if not my Zed reg number is B5RFS!!

Nope. We've had one drop out, plus Caroline gave us an end plot, so we have room to add some more cars.

It's only an hour during the week mate, I do middle wallop to Yeovil quite regular.

Yeah absolutely, from Andover on a Sunday morning, you should be fine, an hour tops! Afternoon getting back might be another story. Last weekend of the school holidays, so bring something to keep you amused while you look at the back of an Eccles Topaz!

I'm a slow driver :lol:

Stone henge is a f*cking nightmare! Roadworks everywhere and often queuing back to the larkhlll roundabout.

 

As Si said should be ok Sunday morning.

Righty....final details for Sunday:

 

Aim to be at Podimore Services by 9am - 9.15am. It'll be a good chance for everyone to meet up as there are a number of folks who'll not be taking their Z cars. I am suggested heading off in convoy about 9.45am at the absolute latest as Haynes want all cars that are going to be on show to be on-site by 10 to register and collect our wrist-bands. Haynes Museum is only about 10-15 minutes away,

 

Now, this is a car-show, not wanting to sound anal, but please make sure your cars are clean! :)

 

The show lasts all day and car owners in the show, you're encouraged (by the organisers) to stay until the award ceremony at 4 (given by John Haynes himself). Appreciate some of you may have commitments, like myself, I have to head to Portsmouth and I'll likely be leaving about 2pm. There will be plenty to do during the day. Museum visit, a parade lap around the track, a few group runs into the country, show & shine competitions and food, plus over 100 private cars on show from MG Midgets to Bristol Fighters and so on and so forth.

 

Weather forecast is currently dry, but cloudy, so bring a sweater just in case you find 20 degrees a little cool.

 

Postcode for Podimore Services is BA22 8JG. It's off of the Podimore Roundabout on the A303.

 

If you're coming from the London direction, keep in the left lane and take the first exit off. The road kinda double backs and keep your eye out for the entrance, again, on the left - See below (Podimore Roundabout Exit on A303)

 

If you're coming from the Yeovil/Exeter way, you go right at Podimore roundabout on the A303, so get in the right lane and turn and you'll see it signposted.

 

There are a number of other country roads that join up with this roundabout, but the A303 is the main road. It's not the biggest service station in the world, but there should be parking there as there's a Travelodge, Burger King/Little Thief + an Esso or Total petrol station. I am not entirely sure at what part of the service station we'll meet as I'll imagine a few other car clubs will be meeting there at a similar time, but hopefully we'll be able to all bunch up together.

 

Service station entrance. It's slightly hidden on the slip round, so keep your eyes peeled for the left turn and this is the view you'll have.

 

 

If anyone gets there late and we're not there, the postcode for Haynes Motor Museum is BA22 7LH If you're coming from Podimore Roundabout, head toward Andover/London on the A303 and exit on the Sparkford/Castle Cary junction. Head down the hill until you get to the T-Junction at the bottom and turn right. Haynes Motor Museum is about 200 yards further down that road on the left.

 

Lastly, if anyone has any problems or gets lost, my number again is 07510169836
