National Roadtrip 2022
I like the idea, seems not too many other comments though? The route down would be difficult to include East and West, but through the middle should be fine. June this year might be a little ambitious though?

300zx desert spec. Anyone know where Darren Bowden of Dasstech garage is?
I did end up with a complete car at least, but with a lot of faults that need putting right at my expense now, which he should have resolved. if he did have any self respect or decency over what he has done, then he would have been in touch long before now to try and resolve it with everyone. his lack of contact should be making that loud and clear

I saw your car in the workshop at the time, and some of the fabrication work did look pretty good. having also been left with an incomplete build by him, i am not sure i would want to entrust another car to him, as it would only get done in his spare time while not earning a living, because he couldnt afford to do it otherwise.

The F1 Thread
The halo saved his life, for sure, but he also had a lot of luck on his side as well. If the car had got wedged just a little further back in the armco, so if it had rebounded back a little after the roll bar hit the armco and stopped him, the armco across the top of the halo would have made escape impossible. That's not a negative on the halo, just an observation on the circumstance. Lucky he didn't get knocked unconscious too, as already noted. The gap between the rows of armco should be removed, by designing them to interlock, unless they become a one piece section. The gaps, or even a missing bottom row of armco that you see on many roads and motorways are a massive danger, especially to a sliding biker too. The armco was mostly going in the right direction Tony, it was a blunt hit purely because he was veering across the circuit at that point, if he had just run wide earlier, and was still going in the right direction, there would have been a much simpler deflection. On a lighter note, it was strange to see him escape and jump from behind the barrier over to track side of the barrier to get to safety, when he was already on the safer side. I am sure that was instinct kicking in, when stood up in the cockpit and feeling the armco to hand, jump over it away from the fire, as well as seeing someone trying to pull him clear. Did you see that his visor appeared to have melted a little too, although i am unsure if that would just be the tear off strips that melted, making it look like the visor had too, as i would expect the visor to be a bit more resilient than that?

RIP Des O'Connor
Very likeable unoffensive guy, not looking for shock factor and reactions like people do nowadays. the entertainers for our generation are getting on though...

Foolishly removing turbo
Do you have them in an open folder or changed permissions on them Jeff, to allow viewing? Many sites show 404 error (not found) rather than authentication error, to dissuade further attempts to access.

New owner of a TT Manual SWB
Welcome Tony. Am sure someone will come along soon with aerial help. Does it just not extend? Broken and half out? Does it make any noise?

All these zed sales?
So many sale posts recently, that i presume everyone wants in on the 400Z when it is launched, and needs to save purchase/import fees to get the "first in UK" kudos? ? I had given thought to trying to sell my lot, simply because i have no room or time to do anything with them at the moment, but looks like this max exodus and saturation will have a bit of an impact and might as well go to welding/painting night school instead ? Seems sad to think that so many great members are selling up though.

What did you do to your zed today?
nice little trip Richard, and car looking nice. Had a couple of exterior rust spots sorted on mine this weekend, front and rear arch on driver side. Need to sort rear passenger side another weekend.
