unfortunately one of our planned show cars cannot make the classic car show. details of why will be posted later today i am sure. is there anyone with a show ready car able to give up their car for the weekend, at very short notice? we have 3 cars already but had planned and have space for 4 if you are also able to stay with it, then a hotel room is already booked. our stand entry time is 10am, but can probably still get access for an hour or so after, depends how many other stands arrive early. call me on 07885 852047 if you can help.

just got off hone from Lee he broke down on way to NEC, pulled onto hard shoulder or side of road. went looking on foot for road or place name to give RAC while gone, car was hit by a lorry, and is a write off, but he hasnt seen it yet luckily had a witness as lorry drove off, witness found Lee down the road and they chased down the lorry and stopped him then called police police dealing with him now and hopefully they will take him back to car 2 miles back up the road so he can see it very lucky that he was not in the car and that he is alright. he will post when he gets a chance to

got an immobiliser? do i need to bring mine as backup ;-) be the bad egg in the box lol

Exactly what I was thinking

scary stuff, glad you are on the mend!

not trying to milk the provenance at all are they.... at most, half of the asking price, imo, and thats generous.

elements of lots of nice cars in there, but still distinct enough, very good.

i think this might be the standard uk yellow, there were only a couple around that i remember, a member called jez from high wycombe had one. although i did think it was slightly darker but that might be 15 year old memory at fault? none of the pearl effect ones were uk colours, iirc? found this on ebay, but it has the blue missing for uk spec, and shows the yellow a bit darker http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-rare-UK-market-Colour-Guide-card-leaflet-brochure-c1986-/230745318582

i think the combination of raised spoiler and boot lid spoiler, along with the lower diffuser/spoiler makes it look very busy, and very old school. removing one or the other boot spoilers would de-clutter the look quite a bit.

the pink ones an opel rekord olympia or p1, inspired by the bel air. havent seen one of them for ages, had a few opels in my early years.

epic! and jealous!

thats quite a serious first shakedown run :-)

oh no Lee. what a nightmare. other than that noise query, it sounded like it ran fine, not smoking or anything? what are they saying?

nicely done Lee. fancy a go at mine now? :-)

saw Lees car yesterday. looking and sounding awesome. final push of the last few man hours, and you can change your username to chesire cat for the rest of the year, as thats what you will look like :-) the sacrifices look well and truly worth it

haha. busted. :-)

best wishes Andy

We might not arrive until Saturday morning, will we still find a spot to pitch a tent? Either that, or arrive and try to do that at 11pm Friday, lol. My sons birthday, so still negotiating what he wants to do....

Motorcycle chain cleaner and tooth brush, or the oven cleaner method, for the least amount of elbow grease required I think.

You could always go old school (and cheap, lol) and just get some shims made up to go on the mountings. I am sure that's what I did on my first zed when adjustable components were not so readily available...

I plan on riding up on Sunday after my bike weekend. Will you be there most of the day Sunday Gary?

Had the drivers side rear sill repaired in plenty of time for next mot, where passenger side was done last time.

we had a few of those back in the early days, at Streatham a couple of times, and next to City Airport (no longer there), and possibly buckmore although not 100% sure. would be good to have another, agreed! :)
