Had a great day today, had the privilege of convoying with some very nice Zeds from fleet services down to the meeting point at tescos, makes the drive so much nicer following another zed!

 

had a great day at the show right up to the point where I was just about to leave and discovered i had lost my wallet :scared:

 

I went to the main office and luckily for me someone had handed it in, and guess what?

The £200 cash was still there! :biggrin:

 

Just goes to show that there are still people in this world with morals!

 

I would love to be able to thank the person who did this but unfortunately no details were given.

 

anyways, home now, kids wiped out in bed snoring.

 

Thanks to anyone and everyone who organised today and thanks to everyone who turned up. :thumbup:

 

nearly forgot, WELL DONE JOEL, :clap:

Great ending to a bad situation. Although you could have used that to your advantage by pretending that you were £200 down to the wife.. That'll be another 200 notes in the pot for this winters upgrades [emoji41]

And thank you [emoji4]

Any pics??

I'm sure there will be a few pics floating around tomorrow, I have a few on my camera but need to stick them onto my pc. My wife took this as she was going round on the open top bus ride of the museum with the kids:

It was a great day today. I met my friend and his Z in Polegate at 6am, drove at fast (!) motorway speeds to the meeting point at Tescos Applemore, then joined a convoy of about 15 300ZXs and what felt like a million 350/370s! Took a long time to get into Beaulieu and managed to cover my freshly cleaned car in gravel dust, but once parked up we were in an excellent position, right by the burger vans and main pathway. Loads of people checking out our cars (even mine with all its missing paint!). It was great to meet a few of you from here, although I didnt get to meet you all! Had a look around and there were some great cars and some lucky people. Ive realised my 20-car garage now will include a R34 in Bayside blue, A Celica GT-4 in castrol colours and a 280Z in any colour! However the most important thing I discovered yesterday was that I can not wait until my Z is in pristine condition, Seeing all your Zs sparkling and gleaming together made my mouth drop and my heart burst. Well done to all of you for the work you put into them, they all looked magnificent and I hope one day mine will be half as good as them. One other thing I took away from exhibiting at my first car show was bring cloths and polish, you cant tell from the pictures, but compared to all the other cars, my car was filthy after that gravel car park queue!

 

Some pics for you all:

 

and some more:

Some nice pics there, from what I can see of that GTO, I would have thought Joel's car to be the show winner!

Nice pics Tom thanks for sharing.

More pics from Beaulieu...

 

Just to make sure he was in the running Joel brought along his personal car valet!

 

 

Through to the people's choice final selection.
