Steve Burns

Strange now days that most relate to pictures of the S30s having extended arches and as such are modified and not standard Also not sure why people are picking the 260 over the 240 as they are basically both the same body wise

Chalk and cheese guys thats a 280ZX2+2 update model from approx1982 not a s30

reason I used Steve Burns as a user name is I didnt want anyone to know my real name as I am very shy

here you go graham picture of some of the brits who went to the Dutch International meet back in 1995 see if you recognize Brian and Brenda Baker from back then before looking at the list below. Also for people who have been to the lakez 2014 there are about 8 people who 19 years on are still going to Z Events Best I can do with the brits who where there Julie Wilkins, John Wilkins, Stuart Phillips(above), Kelly Wilkins, Mark Rayner, Brian Baker (below),Brian Kesterton, Me, Pauline Burns (next but one), Dave Potter (center Bottom Row) guy above him cant remember, next to him Jane Illsely , Grahamam Illsley, Robin Smith (above Sandar Pul) Brenda Baker front ow 3rd from left

Lexx you have aready seen the car at Lakes last year and maybe the year before belonged to Brian Baker who has been in the z scene from back in the early ninties hey if it keeps going on like this there will be more s30s owned by people on here than in the Z Club!

booked the old bank house again on the 4th October at the rate they originally showed prior to any race date being announced so now waiting for them to confirm that they will honour the price

From experience organizing club stands at both the Japfest shows can turn into a nightmare and it would seem that Trax 2 seems to have more than its fair share of cancellations and alterations than most Both Rose and Alex deserve big thumbs for their efforts for stepping up to the plate in an attempt to ensure Z Owners have a stand at this event Remember that monies that has been paid out in advance needs to be recouped be ensuring all tickets are sold on Well done the pair of you

shame the marshals screwed up the parking area When asked why they had directed the 350s away from the other Zs they said they did not realize they where all together So the A4 sheet on each dashdidn't mean a thing Glad you all had a good time and sorry for the Juke parked next to you LOL

got back yesterday after a 6 day stay in Cark and would echo all the thanks that have been stated to Martin and his team for putting on a fantastic event Like Martin I am really worried about next year how I top the gift of one purple sock that Antonia wanted on the Monday night! eek

Is that the Datsun lapping you 370Ad? Haha I only got overtaken 4 times and twice was that beast.....So at least I know pretty much everyone else got lapped too! It makes it a slightly different drive when its your daily Dont worry to much about it as it is the guys local circuit and it has a rover V8 lump in it Remember about 4 Japfests ago he had seven sessions in a day and also used go to their circuit days all the time Also he had told me quite a few years back (7 years ago)he knows he will stack it one year but he says he will enjoy it whilst it lasts

few track snaps

Hope all who came along had a great day and thanks for turning up was getting quite despondent on the Friday night with the amount of drop outs across the 3 forums but when arrived on the Saturday felt a lot better with the amount who turned up in the end Shame about the plot move from previous years and also why the effing hell why Top gear firstly doing there with the none jap cars and worse why where they allowed tracktime when any body with a none jap car is not allowed

Sorry but do spend a lot of time scanning in info about this and would seem it is not read Definite answer on post 331 I believe Sorry about posting like a GOM but been a stressful few days working on this

If you are coming from Bristol it would be better to go straight to Gate A as you would be coming in from that side rather than go way past it and then have to travel back again

This year we have been moved to a different location please note that the gates open at 6am and as you would have to travel passed the normal gate we used to use to the far end of the circuit if coming from the premier inn would advise to get there as early as possible I have attached a copy of the letter and location map

People do not worry all tickets passes arrived to me on Friday pm they were all sorted and posted into the letterbox on Saturday but missed the 12 noon pick up deadline so they should be picked up from box today It turned into a nightmare as had all the C5 envelopes with the labels stuck on to them in an attempt to make it easy then the multiple track passes and paperwork would not fit in a c5 envolope so had to handwrite the 45 of these again

cheerz all sorted re name change Been sitting indoors at home for last two days waiting for tickets etc to arrive by recorded delivery as did not wont not to be here if they arrived will give them until noon tomorrow and then if nothing will ring them to try and tie down a delivery time soon as they arrive they will be posted out all the addresses are on the envelopes and am sitting here twiddling my thumbs

Maybe I am being senile here but do not have a 370Ad on my lists taken from the information given with paypal payments I have a 350Ad that I am guessing is you (have you changed your name on here or did you put the wrong one on paypal I have your addie as 10 ***ntl*** Road and you original session is the 10.42one could you confirm asap please

Remember when the 300Zx first came out was on my way to work in the van on the A40 saw a 300 in the outside lane in a traffic jam so pulled alongside him wound down window and tried to throw a Z Club wanted card into his car my foot slipped and drove into the side of his car needless to say he did not join the club
