Totally agree with you Chris. Your not allowed to drift at any organised track days or any of the time slots at the shows we attend. Unless you have mega deep pockets and can exclusively hire a race track for the day then where can you gain experience.

Sorry you can't make the show Mark.

Bump!

Ok guys I'm going to give you the heads up. As National Event Organiser for our club I made contact with Steve Burns who as you know is a Z legend to support the Zclub in any way we can to make the 50th anniversary a success with all the Z models in attendance with a parade lap. The idea they have is to attend the Silverstone Classic next year which is over the three days 26/27/28 July. As you some of you may know this event is huge,possibly on par with the festivals at Goodwood. Many hotels are already booked up in anticipation. As I mentioned before I have offered our support in this event but at this time there are no final details.

I'm on it chap. Have access to the group chat of all the z clubs and as the date for the Classic at Silverstone is only provisional on their website many hotels are already sold out! Huge event in its own right which means it will take a massive effort to pull the Z gig off. Will keep you guys posted.

The legendary Z Shed Barbecue was as ever a fantastic afternoon. Chris,Kim,chef Beb once again made the annual summer meet in Ferndown top drawer. Not wanting the event to go stale the guys went upmarket this year with the addition of ranch style extra parking on the driveway,Marquee on the rear lawn including automatic sprinklers and a plunge pool for cooling guests down after the mountain of food and cake! Legend

Need to pay for your tickets guys or we will be in the outfield.

Well done Rene' Glad to see the recognition for your hard work and patience with a bespoke build.

Top service from Chris Bob and the team. ordered an undertray,led front reflectors and brother Rich new discs and pads for his 370. All arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Awesome.

Please read my final instructions guys and most importantly do not arrive before 9.30 as we are not allowed in before.

It has been in September before but I suspect the organisers couldn't get a date with Silverstones busy calendar. Folow the easy steps on the web page and purchase a ticket.

Final instructions are the one to read. Looking forward to seeing all you guys from 9.30.

I know this thread has gone cool for a while but I spoke to Steve Burns yesterday and it looks like we have all the Z car clubs on board to support this potentially massive event next year. I have assured him we will be attending in great numbers.

Add your details to the list please.

That's bad news Roddy. Hope you can get a refund on the hotel.

Very sad news. Katrina and I send our condolences to you and your family.
