Hi all in true Zed Shed Tradition and to celebrate Junior Keysers birthday the Zed Shed is having a BBQ (Beb B Q hopefully Beb will be the chef again ) Date - Sunday 26th July Start Time - 11AM End Time - Whenever Location - The New Zed Shed - well actually it will be the building site where the New Zed Shed will be built Open invite spaces are limited(ish) think we had about 11 Zeds and a few locals on foot last time Please register interest below so we have at least a rough idea on numbers................... 1, Keyser and the Zed Shed Crew 2.

Could be the compressor is a bit weak or the pulley isn't engaging correctly, the pulley has a slip release system to reduce drag at high RPM. Just a thought - I have a spare one laying around if you want to swap it to test that theory

No completely down to me Not going to try and excuse it - I was driving, yes it was tight but I should have missed the curb, no major damage just peeled a bit of the wrap of the side skirt, looks worse than it is as the wrap tears unlike paint. I hit the same side skirt on a speed bump a few weeks ago so I'll just take it off and get them to wrap it again. The downside was the drag created cost me time on the ring

It's good that bank 1 and bank 2 thing - they do it as you look at the engine from standing in front so Bank one is on the left - which logically is the right if you are sitting in the car

Well thank you sir I rather like her as well

Few more pics Andy worried about his wheels on the tunnel on the way out - But we had booked as High Sided so it was not needed in the end Errrr well yes ................. Get to Hotel hit the bar Bennet Beb Lewis More to come

Don't get me started on planning the council and the parish council Played that game for 2 months recently. So I will simply wish you luck and say keep at them as just because one officer says something it does not necessarily mean it is right! Ebized has given me loads of advice on planning bits over the years as have others on here and not one of them has led me astray (yet ) Good Luck

Good Morning from The Sunny South, Today the sun is coming up over the Zed Shed "Hissing Sid" is sitting outside the window in need of a good wash and some serious attention to bug removal But to start you off with some pictures of the trip I thought these would help you over breakfast. Me being the healthy eater I had a small salad We wanted something big enough for all the candles so Buster goes for a small pizza - Let the feast begin Still going strong He is into his stride now Still going Nothing is wasted I asked buster if he wanted dessert Victoribus Spolia (to the victor go the spoils) More pics coming not of the pizza though

Quick update, As Bennet has said we left him to fend for himself He had several options to get back and had a later crossing booked than us and we were not sure how well Andy was going to get on with the clutch. Well 4 left the ring and kudos to Andy for getting all the way back using only 3 gears and half a clutch - the other Zeds kept him safely tucked between them and apart from a somewhat shaken Mrs Andy James he got her all the way home Absolutely awesome weekend was had by all and even with a few little hiccups we all still had an absolute blast. Well up for something similar again Mrs Keyser had a great time too and enjoyed her drive around some of the amazing roads near the ring. 1008.8 miles clocked up and apart from the 6 in a traffic jam I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Pictures, videos and stuff to follow very soon. Keyser and the Zed Shed Crew.

Good morning for the final time on the Birthday bash. The sun seems to be trying to make an appearance again as we load the cars and get ready for our 400 mile homeward trip. What will make this more fun is we have 2 Zeds injured or out As you know already Andy will be nursing an iffy clutch but Bennet has a bigger problem. Yes on that chase for the sub 8 minutes (8:05 his best so far) he did the "just one more lap" so now he has a couple of scratches but most annoying a buckled front wheel Phone calls to the local Nissan dealer will be commencing shortly. Of course in my excitement I forgot to post my own slight mishap at the track...... The damage is not to severe - yes I clipped a curb, in the car park Scratched the wrap on the underside of the drivers side skirt (I did call my self some choice names) Still everyone seems in good spirits as we eat our European breakfast and plan our route back trying to take in a stop in Brussels (tobacco, alcohol and chocolate run) while finding a way of doing it that allows for as little gear changing as possible to give Andy a fighting chance. O NO tragedy has struck I just heard "O no I've eaten all the Nutella" guess who I may not be able update again before tomorrow so be safe all. Our Journey Begins!!!!!! Keyser and The Zed Shed Crew.

Quick update before the evenings entertainment, Bit of sad news we hit the track early although it was already hot! As we headed out of the pits Andy stopped dead in front of me, Kim took over in my car and I helped get Andy off pit lane. The problem was no clutch Investigation seems to indicate a leaking slave cylinder so that was an end to Andy's track time Buster had already gone out at this point so when he got back he took Andy to get some fluid and we went out for another lap, I will admit that the second lap was much more fun, mainly as you know what to expect of the other cars and feel less intimidated. We managed a respectable 9 mins something, more than happy with that. We got Andy back to the hotel and in true "we are all this together" spirit of things me and Buster left him to go and put in another lap at the ring Onto "a lite bite" for lunch OMG Buster impressed me on that one I have never seen a Pizza that big eaten by one before. There is a pic on Mrs Busters face ache page I'll post mine with the rest on my return. But it was 50cm accross Spent a bit of the afternoon watching others on the ring and wow they take anything round, motorbike with pillion, Dodge Ram (rolling road block), Renault Traffic van, a scooter and Mercedes ML complete with 5 kids in the back Anyway more soon off out for some food and beer now Keyser and the Zed Shed Crew

Sorry about that, panic attack over several croissants munched feeling better again Where was I - O yes, back in the pits all high on adrenaline we jabbered meaningless waffle at each other trying to work out who did what where and on which of the 73 bends It would appear Andy's pax was not over impressed with the speed and the number of other cars trying to trim the nose of your car into the bends, Buster seemed to have a blast though. Time to do it again Buster insisted I had a passenger lap in the Ginger Ninja (with dodgy steering) I must say I loved it with 3 major highlights 1. YouTube corner Buster hit it way of line and the corner did what it does best and sent us into a tale slide, I had visions of us appearing on the next upload but Buster turned it into a beautifully controlled full on drift round the whole corner may of even made it look intentional. 2. Out running Andy James apparently Andy hit a wall at 110mph letting us leave him behind. Possibly a traction control fault or more likely inlet temps getting way to high. 3. Racing the Renault Megan sport to the line with buster muttering "no, no, no way he is passing me" So all in all a great day rounded off by a superb steak in a local restaurant with some great company having such a laugh my sides hurt and a big thank you to Lewis (Bebs +1) for coming up with a great line as I took a swig of my colabeer, most of which came out of my nose Have a great day all more soon, Keyser and the Zed Shed Crew

Good morning once again from sunny Germany. A beautiful start to the day as the sun comes up over Nurburgring! So a quick run down on yesterday's fun....... After breakfast the three amigos (Buster,Bennet and myself) headed to town and the local Nissan dealer Bennet needed his AC re gassed to try and stop his boots melting and Buster wanted his tracking checked after that very bumpy road yesterday. The outcome was Bennet has a blown seal and no one could look at Busters problem so Bennet decided he would just live with it and open the window while buster found an incredible set of twisty bits and tweaked his driving style to accommodate a slightly od centred steering wheel From there to the nordschleife So in the ticket office was 3 new to track rather nervous looking ring Virgins deciding on how many laps to buy. 4 was the magic number then back to the car park where the others basically forced Buster to have a sighting lap with Bennet. 10 minutes later a rather pale and near enough speechless Buster returned to us OK time to pop the cherry - out we went, I can't speak for the others but my first impression of the nordschleife Circuit was OMG, WTF, WOW, REALLY, WHAT WAS THAT And back to the pits Yer it certainly isn't dull is it Just going to go have another panic attack as we are doing it again today, will try and update again shortly.

Good morning from the Nurburgring. Celebrating Busters 50th birthday a trip to the ring was in order so yesterday morning bright and early we set off for the Euro Tunnel 160 miles later we boarded the train and were whisked under the channel to sunny France. A quick spin through France and into Belgium where we hit the traffic from hell and spent over an hour in a 6 mile tail back. Not to be beaten we did a few more miles on the motorway fuelled the cars then switched from Nissan premium connect to " Bob Nav" A few villages later, one of which had a Nissan dealership displaying a Nismo 370 convertible "Bob Nav" found what must be the bumpiest road in Belgium . I think he was bedding in his new suspension ( or destruction testing it) But after that he led us onto some awesome roads up through the forest and into Germany what a great drive! After a few stops we arrived at our hotel around 9pm local time. With a total of 470 miles covered so far. The "Crew" now consists of Keyser + 1 Buster + 1 Andy James + 1 Beb + 1 ( his mate as his missus screams to much at speed) Bennet ( no one brave enough to pax with him) I am now sitting in the bar with Mrs Keyser waiting for the rest to join us for breakfast , I'm only up early as Andy's car alarm outside my window went off at 5:45am and didn't shut up until 6am Weather is damp this morning hopefully improving later so it's either sight seeing today and track tomorrow or vice versa Got lots of pics but on the iPad so up loads will have to wait. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and the weather is good at the lakes. More updates (and pics soon) Keyser and the Zed Shed Crew.

I have spent many an evening chatting in there - but as I'm doing 16 hour plus days at the moment not had much time of late. Don't worry though I have one of these new fangled mobile phone things and NeilP called me on it and it's just like chat but you don't have to type
