That would be nice Colin. Katrina will be along as apparently deck chairs and sun bathing should be the order of the day!

Just wanted to put up the forthcoming events which i have entered. 1.Eagle sprint at Goodwood circuit on the 1st August. 2 laps of the track from a standing start with no tyre warming!(will be going easy on the first corner!) lol I've been to Goodwood many times over the past 20 years and I have to say its probably the fastest and technically challenging circuit in the uk. 2.15/16 August at Shelsley Walsh for the round of the MSA British Hill climb championship. Practice on sat event on Sunday. Looking to better my time here as it was my first time and the track was not fully dry.

I ran 245/40/18 888r tyres all round on Sunday at Gurston and she handled beautifully

What a fantastic time we had guys! Bob your chin was on the floor mate! Lol. Great company and food at The Old Thatch and also a big thanks to Netti for the evening. Looking forward to this trip so much.

Happy birthday Dave!

Happy birthday bud!

Happy birthday sir!

Cracking progress Chris!

Like the deep dish shiney ones more bud. Sorry.

Thanks chaps. Since I went to Castle Combe for a track day and then japfest the engine seems to have stepped up a gear,maybe some of the woolly stuff has blown out of the Miltek to allow her to breath more! Lol

Hi guys and girls. It was a national A meeting at Gurston Down Sat and Sun. The engine seems to be loosening up more since the re build and have noticed a significant increase in power especially at Japfest last week! Normally on the uphill drag to the finish line at Gurston I leave her in third and bounce off the rev limiter for the last 50 yards or so as it's a waste of time snatch fourth. On sat she got going so well on that stretch I found myself needing to change up to fourth as I was 150 yards short of line but it wasn't far enough to get going in the higher ratio so I found myself in a gearing dilemma! Got chatting to Simon the nutter EVO driver and he casually said "don't suppose you have any smaller tyres to lower the gearing"? By luck in the garage at home I had a spare pair of 245/40s which I run on the fronts and swapped them over for the 275/40 pair I run on the back just before Xchurch tyres closed sat eve! As you can see from the video of my fastest run on Sunday I'm changing into fourth way before the Finnish line and still accelerating as the gearing has been changed quite dramatically.

Great news mate!

National A meeting at Gurston Down this weekend. Practice runs sat and sun morning, event on Sunday afternoon. I have been playing around with tyre pressures and damper settings over the last couple of weeks and I think the car is handling better than ever as I found out at japfest on sat. Hope the weather holds so I can see if I can better my best time. I will post some pics and video.

Graham May well be able to confirm but I think these shots are of Alan Jones's car!

Cracking photos guys! As said on super car siege thread it's been an awesome weekend! Thanks once again Adam for organising the stand for us all.

Katrina and I are still in shock at what an amazing day/ weekend this was! Weather,company,location,food,convoys to and from both events and also a lot of really well turned out Zeds of all generations which is what this forum is all about! It don't get much better than this.

Cracking video Chris and love the soundtrack! Two very different cars both capable of putting a smile on your face and getting your ticker pumping!! Let's see if we can organise another group for the August session.

What a result my friend! So glad it didn't play up on your first session and ruined a cracking day. Looking forward to the next blast.

I have done the rounds on exhaust systems over the past couple of years and after a lot of failed sound tests,back pressure problems,poor build quality and power loss I have got the best combination that suits my car. De cats and a full Miltek system including Y pipe. On full boost yesterday at Castle Combe it was the system for the more mature Zedder!! Lol

Looking good Darren! All your hard work is paying off. Still can't get over the quality of the paint work.

What a good afternoon chaps! I have to concede that after wringing every last ounce out of my old Datsun (touching 140 up to Quarry) I just couldn't keep up with Chris on the twisties! That Radical handles and has a level of grip I can only dream of! It was a good test for the pilot ss tyres as was unsure what level of grip they would give me compared to my 888rs on the Rays. Very dissapointed with them to start but they just got better and better as the afternoon when on. jetpilot ( impressed with your driving mate!)made a valid comment that as they are so new they needed a few heat cycles to bed them in. Nice to see Kim driving the Radical today and seeing Harryjax hustling the big Peugeot round the track! Also you never know who you might meet at a trackday. This rather well spoken chap in his mid 60s came up to me before my last run and commented on how nice my car sounded and said" you drive the socks off that thing ". He was giving lessons in a new jaguar F-type R convertible for a well healed couple that had hired him for the day! After a ten minute chat in which he told me how he competed at Le Mans and drives a D type for JCB ( bamford) he told me his name was Wiilie Green. GT 40,Ferrari,chevron,ginetta,Porsche,Aston Martin are a few cars he has raced!

Spot on IMO! It was great to see the crew in action again. See you at Leeds Castle on Sunday Graham

Looking bloody good Darren. Wow that guy is one good sprayer,the paintwork looks deep enough to dive into!

Going to try the 19" wheels with the pilot super sports on track to see what level of grip they offer compared to the 888r's prior to Japfest next Saturday.
