Taddy, did you get my PM?

 

Is my Dad ok to come?

 

Do you need any money sending?

 

Your both booked in for the weekend, think you owe Taddy the cash.

 

See you at the show

Matt

Thanks Matt your a star

Thats not the worse bit, this car is totally wrapped and was the demo car for the company. Looks pretty decent from the distance I took the picture but if you get close its totally crap around any kind of edge. They haven't tucked it round the gaps so you can see the edges and they are peeling away!!!

That's what I thought, not a very good PR for a company who's sole business is to wrap cars, but their demo is wrapped shockingly.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I look like I've been put in the oven on gas mark 7

Bright rad ace and arms. Took suncream too, but only used once. Serves myself right I suppose.

Evicted...........................................from a bench!!!

LOL

....sorry Chris. But it's making me chuckle just thinking about your rant this afternoon.

Cracking Pics guys, good to chat with everyone - bit fed up of having to stand next to car most of the day but it was worth it in the end....

Won Best JDM

.....and £150. For some reason Tanya found out about that though.

Is anybody up for this?

As I may attend on the Saturday?

I will contact the organisers to get a club stand area.

There are too many speed bumps and uneven entries onto grass for the Zed2010 show so am opting for this one instead.

Let me know if you want to go too.

Thanks for the help and tips.

Just paid via the donation button. And popped the Japfest details in the comment box.

Thanks all.

Lets hope the weather is good for this one.

Hi Martin, thanks for the PM and heads up.

Just gone on zclub forum to try and pay for tickets but can't find the paypal bit. Any ideas or a link to the page please (Sorry for being thick)

Looking good buddy

 

Why the metal polish on the wheels though? Surely they are painted not metal?

Just what I was thinking Chris.

Stay away from the metal polish

Get some Poorboys wheel sealant or Chemical Guys wheel guard. Both excellent wheel sealants.

I'm on orange broadband and recieving emails ok.

If your going to clay, then use DD lime prime, it will get rid of any marring caused by the clay.

Lime prime lite may not get all the marring out.

Plenty of time Craig.

Thanks Martin I'll book mine and Tanya's ticket next week then

Looks a hell of a line up, will be a cracking club stand. Looking forward to it now.

Thanks for clearing that up everyone. Sometimes I feel a right dope

I'll get on the z-club forum and get the tickets ordered up, Martin or Chris do you know if there is a dead line for these tickets. Might have to wait until Pay day which is next Friday (Can't believe I'm skint)

And I'll update the list to add my +1

1. martinmac (+1)

2. Ian

3. H5

4. StephC

5. CaptainSensible

6. R35LEE +1

7. Muddy +1

8. Madmarky

9. Geoff-R

10.S77 CRV

11.Chris`I (+1)

12.Andy +1

Regardless, as long as it drives the price of 997 gen2 C2S's down when it's released I'll be a happy man.

Or even the C4S

Looking good Ian, can't wait to see it finished.

If I was keeping the zed, I would have gone down the HKS route too. JDM all the way

Thanks for the reply Chris.

I think I know where you mean with regards to stand location.

I'm sure there will be a way to get on to the grass

But just to re-ask Where do we purchase the tickets? Is it through 350z-uk, z-club or Japfest themselves and quote "z-club"

Sorry for the million and one questions

I will bring the planks again.

LOL Martin

Dosnt the Gilmour just fit on the end of a hose? ie Hoselock and it dosnt need a power washer?!?!

 

I'm pretty sure that's correct, I was going to get one for the garden hose before I got a pressure washer

Yup, just fits to the hose. If you have good water pressure in your area they work fairly well, but nothing like a pressure washer with a proper foam lance. However the Glimour is about 1/4 of the cost!

The Gilmour used to be more expensive than foam lances around the £60 mark compared to a foam lance of £40 (It seems almost everyone is doing a foam lance at the moment hence why they were cheaper)! Gilmours are primarily designed for easier use with a hose and for those that don't have pressure washers.

I used to carry one with me all the time when detailing just in case I couldn't use a pressure washer for some reason or other. Ideally need very good mains water pressure though, but works a treat none the less.

Good luck with the sale Ian . Just trying to help.

Sorry to be a pain. But haven't really paid attention to this thread.

I'd say I'm 98% certain of coming so what are the correct ticket prices and procedure to purchasing - according to pg 1 it's still to be confirmed.

Ohh and can I have a +1 please, Tanya would kill me if she thought I'd missed her out.

Is this a dedicated Z-club stand and do we know it's location within the show yet?

Will car passes be issued or is it turn up and find the clubs stand?

I've been to Japfest several times before, but can't quite remember if there are speed bumps around the place could some nice person who has better memory than me let me know? I know some of the areas they tend to stick car clubs is a bit ropey regarding grass verges etc.

Sorry about the hundred and one questions. (Wish I didn't have such a low car )

I'm no newbie when it comes to car photoshoots.

The photgrapher was very professional, but most are free lance and out sourced anyway.

It's just Fast Car's approach to the article was shoddy and poor at best.

I might as well have just added it to their "readers cars" and would have had similar exposure.

So won't be buying Fast car mag anymore (Not that i did anyway) and will persue other avenues in the future.

You live and learn I guess.

And Shaun, every photshoot I've done I have persisted in getting "some" copies of the originals for my personal collection from either the editor of the mag or the photographer direct. Most mag's just say they can't be used for public distribution.

Thanks for the comments guys.

To be fair I already had a gut feeling it was going to be crap before it came out, so wasn't too disappointed when it was.

I'll contact the photographer and get some original pics, at least that's a bonus from having a mag feature you get cracking pictures (Eventually).

Well after over 6 months waiting they've finally published the feature in the current issue of Fast car.

It's on pg112 if anyone's interested.

Nice pictures, that's all I can really say about the feature as it's a bit pants! They had no writer attend the shoot and I pretty much wrote the article myself

I may sound a bit petty but after waiting so long and badgering the editors to find out when it will be published the end feature doesn't do the car justice IMHO. Especially against the same ol' same o'l euro golf and polo that's featured in the issue.

That's the first and last time Fastcar get an exclusive on the any other show car I build. Wish I had gone with Maxpower, at least I know they provide writers AND photographers.

Really want a copy of the Chargespeed bumper/diffuser. Any comments from people who have copies fitted??

No such thing as a copy of chargespeeds bumper and diffuser. You have to buy the real thing

Good luck Craig, looks like plenty of takers, shame I missed the early list!

Still potentential to pick something up if someone drops out. Drop me a PM if your interested in something.
