Well thats me out of a job now and will have to go down and try and get on the dole just dont know how I will survive as I am in a fantastic shape and was hoping to earn enough appearance money to put by for when my body starts to sag

hope you had a great day yesterday and not suffering today from it

And the Classic Z Register got knocked back for the first time in 20 odd years

What gets up my nose is people who post on here pretending to be GOMs when all they are are young whippersnappers who have not lived long enough to qualify as GOMS All you lot are youngsters who have no real experience of annoyance and are just jumping on the GOM bandwagon Why don't the lot of you shut up and stop invading my space and form your own inferior GYB group

No it bloody cant!!

and smithy you can shut up as well its taken me all my life to learn to be this grumpy and do not like people trying to take my crown away

people trying to be grumpier than me!!!

Good to see you are on your way to getting valuation

my tickets have finally arrived as well and all printed off

just posted up on the japfest website

I have just spoken to them as well and had a strange sort of conversation with a women there who said that she would ring the club rep and let him have the clubs pass code to give to people who had not received email tickets so they could turn up at the gate with their a copy of the order that was sent to them when they paid originally And guess what I have just been sent by email No not 3 e-tickets but another copy of the original receipt of payment I know of at least 5 on the Z Club who have recieved diddly squat e-ticket wise from them Is there any chance that there is a pass code been sent out for use on the gate with our original order I am going to print of my order and have it ready to take with me if the e-tickets don't arrive as promised

Oh dear well as one of the guys who started the whole JAE thing many years ago I suppose that is me off your xmas list

I remember when me and a couple of other guys from the Z Club started the whole thing back in 1994 at Billing Aquadrome when a few said "god the entrance to Billing is a bit dear" and it was cheap as chips then IMHO it grew into an absolute monster that became to big for anyone to do in their spare time an example of this was the one before last at Billing that I offered to take on again took me seven and half months of my evenings and weekends to organise and as nobody else came forward to take the following years event on it was passed over to an event company to do Billing cost nothing to hire where as the move to Peterborough,Mersea Island,Wickstead and now Newark show ground must cost a fortune to hire and the amount of staff they need to run the event must be huge and a financial nightmare to break even Although the original event had to move from Billing due to being to big and the facilities at Billing were getting old and inadequate It is nice to remember what great time were had there by everybody and it is a shame that a lot of people on here did not have the chance to enjoy them as it was the fore runner of all of the Japanese related car shows in this country Although it was basic compared to now days boy was it fun Oh and was not the year of the big storm at Peterborough Showground Bird you are getting so old now your memory is going!!

Exactly would be good but me being cynical I could see the teams using one of their drivers to hold up someone to spoil their average time They have to alter something with this latest idiotic idea they have come up with

stop insulting tosh,tosh is so much better How can Quali 3 finish with 3.5 minutes left of the 15 If they do not do something about it they will have hardly anyone paying to watch qualifying IMO they should make all of the last 10 left in qualifying have to run at least 3 timed laps and then take the average of those times then at least the punters would get value for money

I am not a Number

was not this there as well as a couple of quite rare Toyotas

lol

Well mine is not a stock body as i have had both knees replaced so does that make the NEC classic show not the place for me to made welcomed at as I don't have a stock body!!

Shame that it outgrew the place but there again the shower blocks and toilets needed some improvement but it was good while it lasted there

Oh and even had a lunch in a pub called Muddy Burns

Yep that was true On the last day we were traveling back from N Ireland to Dublin through one of the worst rain storms that Ireland had seen for years Water sucked up into KN filter and had to fly my mrs home and come back with Paul Wrangle letting the AA bring the car back If you guys want a road trip Ireland was fantastic If you do decide ask Tulip to arrange a route for you with some great hotels to stay in on the way Fantastic trip was well worth doing
