Concours d' Elegance & Concours Fun Run

Recommended Posts

Today was the Concours d' Elegance Fun Run/Rally. It's probably the easiest rally ever, but still very pleasant day out, with lovely roads.

 

This year was slightly different, all starting at different points, 5 to be exact, and ending in a park/village green beside the waterfront. About 250 cars, you name it, it was probably there, and tomorrow at the Concours show, will be full on, detailing oblivion, Masters Class! These cars will be incredibly clean, often quite rare.

 

So here's a few pics from the Fun Run today:

 

 

Interesting 3 front seats, which is a little difficult to see in this pic.

Ran out of disk space, so that's it.

 

 

 

Will take more pics tomorrow at the Concours Show. Kiwi Z Club has a display, along with about 80 other clubs, and about 700 cars. Massive variety. :thumbs:

Some fabulous looking cars B) So are you trying for another award tomorrow then Immy?

No, not at this show. My Z is too new, would incur far too many age penalty points for a start to be competitive. Cars must be more than immaculate, and almost surgical clean and have often had extremely costly restorations.

 

 

 

I didn't take many pics at all at Concours, was such a busy day. A few of our guys made a standing and operating S30 engine as you'll see in the vids as part of our display.

 

Here are a few:

If it makes you all feel better, was an average weather weekend for Concours, both days. Saturday, rained in the morning, and was overcast.

Sunday whilst setting up our display we had a tropical type deluge, massive black clouds. Haha, one of the guys had his windows down (no Z was harmed, :dummy: was his daily driver), we were standing under the awning, water absolutely pouring in the window from the broken guttering. Keys in ignition, drivers window up. :thumbs: Then stopped raining sort of, round to other side, window was down passengers side too. :headhurt: Guess who had a wet drive home. :lol::lol:

It rained for a large part of the day, so that chased away some of the Masters Class and Team Event cars.
