At least you dont have a GTO Richard, btw was great to meet TIZER again, anyone remember him Steve with the lovely marble paint work Z, back in the day he used to give Jason a run for his money. Actually Steve was the first member I met after I joined, I had a cracked Compomotive wheel, and he was a truck driver who came to Ireland weekly, following a post on here I met him on a motorway he took my wheel to the Compomotive factory, and then collected it repaired foc 3 weeks later and brought it back to me in Ireland, Legend.

Drowning my troubles tonight people, 2 days before JAE my partner Bill was diagnosed with cancer, of course I did not want to go, but the measure of the man he is, ,he insisted, he even packed my bags. He was never going it was a girlie weekend. Those who met him at the LakeZ run will tell you what a great fella he is, he would have to be to handle me. Despite having been married for 27 years I was always really on my own, and besides my ex Bill is the only other man I have dated. So next week he goes in to have half his lung removed, nearly 20 years since he gave up smoking!!!, I am positive but its still a big operation. Also on Monday I go in to have an angiogram and possibly some stents fitted. I also knew this last week. So a shit week next week really. I dont normally put this stuff up here but feeling a bit sorry for myself tonight

was great to meet TIZER at JAE, what a nice guy Steve is

If it helps at all Paul, you are not in the Irish Region, however with 4 members in this region, on the map we are "Its Complicated" we are open to poaching members from any other region. We cannot offer meets however if anyone ever makes it to our region we will fill them full of drink and chat/good company.

lovely job Mondo, and well done on the MOT

Over here Jay you will, find its a bit of jealousy especially if a young guy has one plus with Nissans the Skyline is the popular one here

Great!!! Thanks all for the feed back on my observations, however I am now wondering what was going on, when there were mulpile heads under bonnets, people on their hunkers, and heads stuck in and asses sticking out of interiors. I am over it:biggrin:

Ok Guys, following JAE last weekend, this is more an observation but the answers will interest me I have owned and driven a Z for 12 years, I don't profess to know a lot about cars but on the other hand I know enough,and am always willing to talk and learn more especially about Zs. Over the weekend not one And I mean nobody asked me about my car or expressed any comment on it good bad or indifferent. I could have discussed my lightened flywheel, my upgraded clutch, my new exhaust made up of a copy of a Mines system at the front a d Trust back boxes and pipes, my Defi recording box, my Veilside Andrews wheels, how the SWB is so much different car to drive compared to 2+2. I know I was having fun and a few drinks but I like to show off and talk about my car just like all owners. Liz had the same observation.

Happy Birthday Lee have a good one

Thank you

I reckon what Ronaldas said about numbers is correct, although the 25 were not there for the entire weekend, some were just day visitors. With the ones who were not on the Club stand, a couple were with traders stand, some wanted to be with their local/mixed model club, and unfortunately for whatever reasons some choose to stay well away from us - - - Updated - - - I reckon what Ronaldas said about numbers is correct, although the 25 were not there for the entire weekend, some were just day visitors.

Agree about the skip, they had plenty of space in the yard behind for it. Agree about the kettle and having a tea/coffee station

Absolutely NOT..like saving the good wine till last... pronounced (faa.tum.schh) you are lucky I did not see all those lovely lights on your car on Sat night or jaikai car would have been out in the rain and yours would have been inside.. and you are joining Craig.....the club founder...without who we wouldnt have this Club...nice guy despite being a biker T.mogsy.... sorry Tom... another great car and nice guy

forgot to mention we gate crashed the GTO party tent on Friday, in our Geisha outfits and with our bamboo swords, asked some of the guys to bend for a little spanking.... they willingly obliged... some even wanting to drop their trousers....strange...... I kept saying to them when they were trying to impress us with their cars, while the cars were lovely, REAL drivers like it from the rear... oops my bad, I think I asked too were there many hairdressers in the group?.....feckin drink But to be fair they had a fantastic stand and a brilliant marquee full of events

missed you too

we missed you too, gonna start saving for next year

on the spoiler issue, the fooker will probably damage it now anyway before he sends it back, could you try the "oops, really sorry, must have been the postman, purely for goodwill and without blame" offer him £30 back, not right and would kill me, but easier maybe

Car observations. There was NOT ONE UK Spec. car at the show, they were all Jap imports Except for 3? all had 99 spec rear lights None had original wheels Only one , my sister, still had original exhaust. There were 6 SWB cars there There was just one 99 spec car Most did not have original steering wheel
