Ive started a new thread for this one: https://worldofwheels.uk/ I had never heard of it before, but it is about 10 miles up the road from where I live! I have put in an application for the club with 10 cars to be shown. Can I have a list of people interested please?

Are we entering the club again? Never heard of this one. I don't have facebook, could someone message them?

This..... ?

Got a response: Hi there, Thank you for your recent expression of interest to exhibit your vehicle club at Magnificent Motors 2021. Due to the current and expected restrictions that the event will have to operate under, we will be extremely limited in the amount of vehicles that we are able to display and also we are only able to operate over the Western Lawns this year, rather than the additional Wish Tower slopes. We are only able to allow a total of approx. 120 vehicles per day, down from approx. 700 in previous years. This is due to having to install a one-way system for all those attending, including spectators as social distancing will still be in operation. Due to this, it is with regret that we will have to decline your wish to exhibit this year. We appreciate this isn’t the news you were looking for, however we do hope you understand and are still able to attend the event in a spectator capacity. We are extremely hopeful that for 2022 we will be back bigger and better than ever and would love to have you back then. Looks like we will have to apply for next years show, sorry guys. My suspicion is that they will give priority to the "car clubs" that pay to be there, the local Jag and Aston dealership for example.... We can all still have a meet up that day and visit the show?

Happy birthday!

I though it had one... just not in the car? ? You got 15 months at the moment! The rough route I planned doesn't take into account the east coast, but that's a good excuse to do another trip.

I would, but I don't have any social media including Facebook, you are welcome to promote it for me though. I think it would be great fun to try!

Not sure of you saw that message?

That sounds like a good idea. Plenty of good places to stay round here, pevensey bay is popular. I was thinking £250 for them

Yes, not many places would ship them due to weight and length. You might have to plan a road trip down here after lockdown

I'm in Eastbourne. how much would you offer?

RIP Sabine... i think a trip to the Nurburg in honour is called for....

Ah, you may not be able to: Ill add the pictures here. They are twin pipes on the back boxes and are one piece to the decat pipe I believe. They came off my black 1991 twin turbo auto JDM. Please excuse mess in garage!

Have PM'ed you

I have an exhaust system in the garage, I think its standard, if not close to. Ill try and take some pictures for you today

Using this guide: https://conceptzperformance.com/blog/suspension-101-300zx-edition/ Half way down there are two diagrams (front and back) of which arms can/could/should/might be replaced. Its very helpful. I am using the driftworks black V2 arms with orange polybushes for replacing all the arms. I used the Tein VSN22-C1SS3 Flex Z coilovers to replace my shocks. I choose them because of good reviews, they come with the hats (some you have to reused the OEM ones and I didnt fancy taking them apart) and most importantly they were on sale whan I bought them! It was the best thing I ever did, it feels like a new car, feels much more solid! The ride is a bit more harsh, but I drive buses for 10 hours a day, fred flintstones car had more suspension than a bus...

I have uploaded the .pdf directions with maps for people. I also have a .trp file for phones and satnavs if people need, but the forum wont let me upload that file type (Jaikai). I can convert the .trp to other file types depending on what satnav you have, just message me

So I have had this idea kicking around for a while, ideally over a week in June for my birthday. It would be a John O' Groats to Lands End road trip, but visiting the REOs and members along the way. Each section of the route would be planned by different people i.e a northern Scottish owner would know the local roads and plan A to B for us, then a southern Scottish owner would plan B to C and so on working our way down the country. The fun would be that some people would do the whole trip, while others that couldn't would join us for a day/morning/afternoon drive. We could have lunches along the route at places to have "mini meets". We would stay in hotels along the route. I had in mind: John O'Groats to Oban = 220 miles Oban to Keswick = 225 miles (Would like to detour via Stranraer to see if we can get some of the Northern Ireland and Ireland guys over to meet us) Keswick to Snowdon = 200 miles Snowdon to Bristol via Brecon Beacons = 200 miles (we could have a mini meet at Jimmers?) Bristol to Lands End = 200 miles All mileage would change depending on the routes planned, but I don't think we would be driving more than 4-5 hours each day with stop offs of course. It would be 4 nights plus the nights either side to get to the start point and home after the finish point. I think it would be great fun to meet all the members that struggle to get to meetings and they will have local knowledge of the areas we would drive through to make the route/roads more fun and of course we get to drive our zeds! Let me know if you are interested in either taking part or planning part of the route!

RIP Mr Walker....

Sounds like a plan. I can do as early as people want...

Yes, headlights will be left on so welcome to join.... I'm up for meeting at either the cafe (to have a coffee while waiting for members to arrive) or the wine place (not for same reason!)

18th April it is then. Nickz32 has a valid point, having never been there are there any suggestions? I've looked a street view, there is a small layby car park before one of the hairpin turns, then there is a National Trust gate that I assume will be locked? Shall we meet in that small layby? If tha gate is open, then go straight to the top!

Happy birthday!
