notice to all Japfest 2008 attendees
If you have been wondering why your tickets have not arrived in the post it's because I have not mailed them yet. Sorry about this, I know I said I would mail them last weekend but my new job has required me to get up at 5:00am and back home around 9:00pm so just havent had the time. I packed up everything last night and will put them in the post today. So if you dont get your tickets and passes by Tuesday please let me know.

THANKS TO... madmarco
A slight roll would have no risk of cracking the paint. Archenemy will say it's a 50/50 chance dependent on filler and the age and condition of the paint. I lost a couple of small chips on the far side edge, but I had him pull the arch pretty far out as I plan to correct the rear camber soon and mine is real low. Yours would need a very slight roll so should have no problem. They clean the area really well before begining the roll and use a sealant on the inner wing afterwords so no rust should occur. There is no denying the wing will be weaker after the roll, the stock wing has an inner lip that is 90 degrees to the outer surface. This lip provides a great deal of rigidity to the wing but also is the first spot to rub on the tyres. During the roll this lip is rolled flat to the inner wing and the entire wing is pulled outwards to the requested ammount. Here's a couple of better pictures of mine to give you an idea of the end result. BEFORE - AFTER - INNER LIP DETAIL - this looks pretty bad, but is only noticible if you get down on the ground and look upwards. I will use some touch up paint to seal it and start saving for a planned repray.

arch rolling session
Everything went well today. Three Zeds and a Skyline had their arches significantly streched. Gumball's was the biggest challenge as he got a pretty extreme roll on the front to clear his new wheels. All the cars came out nice although Gumball lost a little filler and the Skyline got a bit rippled on the nearside. Absolutely perfect sunny day, I think we all got sunburned watching the guy work!

Club Banner suggestion ?
I know I'm walking a fine line here and no disrespect intended, but which events? This is the current list of events for 2008, the only one It looks like the club is spending any money on is JAE. It seems like a very reasonable request for each region to have it's own banner.

Check this out.
That is truly frightening. You can be sure nobody will be implanting a chip in me or my family. As for the possiblity of a one world government, I will believe it when I see it.

Wow, thanks BigDave! :bow: If you could email the full size image to mark.keeney@btinternet.com that would be great. Thanks for organizing this Legrath, I'm always up for a track day.

Calling all Bikers!
Oh, I get it now! :D May be a little risky referring to a biker at the Ace cafe as a Power Ranger though...

Castle Combe Spring Action Day - April
Ahhh, thats where you went! Should have known you lot would make a beeline for the closest pub! I did notice the paper under the windshield wiper but it was soaking wet and I didn't see the note. I was trackside watching 240wookie taking some laps in his very quick 240Z. No problem, it was a great day, especialy when the track dried out for the second session. Nice meeting a couple new people along with the familiar faces. Good on Lisa for braving her first track session, she's hooked now! I took a couple pics with the phone so not great quality -

Calling all Bikers!
Good day out with the boys, several hundred bikers showed up to see Charlie Boorman off on his next adventure. Really nice guy, took the time to sign my book and posed for pictures with anyone who asked. We managed to pull in behind Charlie on the M40 while they were shooting video so we might just be on TV! The boys - After we reached the Ace cafe, Charlie drove a double decker bus to Dover - Wozzer also shot some good video -
