Cheers bud, I am chilling out after some superb seafood at the local in Spain. Very much looking forward to the meet and meeting some new owners. Sat night drinks still an option ifanyone wants to comeup

Get your blades on Jonathan

Not on topic Nixy but I must say he is lucky, not many mothers would take the time. You must have a lot of around your house

What make of wheels Nixy. I was almost in a similar situation recently and everyone I asked fond it very amusing. Didnt get any answers though.

Just a few directions to make it easy. From J36 of the M6. Signposted Kendal. After a couple of miles take first sliproad posted Barrow. First exit at roundabout. Continue down dual carriageway. Speed cameras just after becoming single lane, 60mph. Then becomes dual carriageway again. At first roundabout take first exit for Grange. Continue on this road. After entering 30mph zone and passing Hadwins VW on your right take first exit at mini roundabout. Continue to Grange. Take first exit at mini roundabout just after railway station. Beware, idiot driving warning in Grange Through the town and up the hill, first exit at mini roundabout. Keep on this road until you enter Allithwaite. Stay on road as you pass the Guide over Sands pub ( narrow). Keep on road bearing right at Pheasant pub. Take care as you go up this hill and round the corner, single file traffic but you have priority. Not a good line of sight though. Accelerate hard down through the single file bit ( it sounds awesome ). Entering Flookborough. Pass the Crown then the Hope and anchor ( pubs again ). Just as you pass the Hope and anchor you enter a sqaure with parking on your left. Turn right at the Chemist shop. Follow this road into Cark in Cartmel leaving the Engine ( nother pub) on your left ( watch the next bend) and the Rose and Crown on your right. continue on this road for about 1 mile to the entrance to Holker Hall. Sat Nav around us is designed to get tourists lost so dont bother. You can however follow the signs for Holker Hall Right, home from work tomorrow then off to Spain on Friday. Will still have limited net access ( blacky) but if anyone wants anything text me. 07932004259. Will sort outsatnding accom issue before I go Jacko and text you, have a plan B in place though so no sweat mate. Hasta Luego

Just put a small sign in the real zed to remind you thay you arent in "game play" mode, there aint no save game if you push too hard

Definately better than "other possible winners"

Davej is from there. Car sounds right. pics in the intro section.

Busy with tankers till bout 4 am. Bout 2 hours on last one. lunch at pub then off bout 1.

Look forward to seeing you Matt. Do you want the room in the pub, Zzzz has the other one so that will be it full and I confirm with the landlord. Pay on the day bud.

A wayward afternoon for scousers is the norm - isn't it? I really like your wheels Martin ( Born Aigburth, Liverpool)

Very nice too Dont worry, will sort something good out.

Dont worry mate, the drive out will be a lot less, Tony has to drive back south after the meet so I think something a little shorter will do. In the region of the Chester meet-ish I would have thought. ( unless we put Matt at the head and we can do it in half the time)

Sounds like a plan mate. With people driving up on the Sunday morning I didnt want to start too soon after they had arrived. Will leave the drive route to you as stuck on the Thames at the moment. Kirkstone is definately a good shout. Martin

I like it, difficult call though, as xStric9x says its a variation on the 350. The pre-release for the 350z did however say that they were trying to retain the underlying Z concept and just update/upgrade it. As such it seems like they have succeded.

The meet is on Sunday 16th September. Meeting up at Holker Hall which has a cafe, Motor museum and massive car park. Very nice setting too. http://www.holker-hall.co.uk/ Some people are staying the night before, others arriving from mid morning. I will be around from about 7 pm on the Saturday. The local pub does a carvery from 12 noon until 7pm. Its about half a mile away with good outdoor seating. Suggest we get out fro a drive early afternoon. Max has driven a suitable route, it will be going up the A6 from M6 junction 36 to Penrith B5305 to Caldbeck along A595 back on the A66 on to the B5292 Honister pass to Keswick then A591 to Windermere and on to Kendal. It will include http://www.kirkstonepassinn.com/ ;http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/nw/nw_forecast_weather.html For those who believe the forecast it is looking pretty good For those who wish to stay, my local pub has two rooms which the landlord has kindly offered me for £20 per night. I am waiting for Matt to confirm on one, the other is free. Its a great pub but closes when the locals have had enough Anyone wants the second room pm me. http://www.eeabanklodge.co.uk/ is close and a nice guest house. May have a room left. http://www.masonsarmsstrawberrybank.co.uk/default.asp is a fantastic pub with very nice accommodation. Its about 5 miles from the meet. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/revie ... revid=4803 For the hardy outdoor types. If anyone is staying several miles away from the meet I am happy to pick up for a few beers at the Rose and Crown, Cark in Cartmel (LA11 7PF) on the Saturday night. Can arrange taxis back to save driving. Should anyone having any special accom requirements ( which are legal) pm me. We have a lot of hotels up to Michelin star if needed. My mobile number is 07932004259. I will be in Spain until the Saturday evening but have phone/blackberry with me. Any other questions, you know where I am. Any other takers amongst the new members

Was just thinking the same bud, it has become rather spread out, gis a few minutes and I will post a summary.

From somewhere else, Lives up the road from me.

Slightly dissapointed as I thought this was a job advert and after the week I have had I was going to apply. People still dont know what Zeds are. On the other hand I was ashore today and a couple of lads of about 12 did the "Hey Mister" thing. One said " is that the Supercharged one", I replied no, he came back with " wouldnt have a standard one"!! Keeping the 206 then mate

to the forum. Sounds like you have been very busy already. Nice car mate. Quite a few owners in your area, sure they will be along soon. Enjoy the forum. Whats the next mod If you want some Z badges BigPhil will sort you out.

Hi Max, Some guys will arriving much earlier than others so will get everyone down to Holker and chill out. Some staying in the area too. Can then move off when everyone is there if you are agreeable. Will meet Mike and team off J36 and drive them in as I will be bored by then

After reading this yesterday I happened to catch a programme called "Road wars" on Sky 3. I was particularily interested in the sentences handed out, for instance a 16 year old, driving without permission, carrying a Knife. Give a referral order or something. What the hells that. Then had a drunk 16 year old assaulted 3 youth club staff and the police when they arrived. Police had to call in dogs as backup as a crowd of his mates where tring to help him. Worlds gone mad!
