Cheers guys.

Did my best to have a relaxing day, and managed to have a good one.

Happy Birthday Al!!! A bit belated considering I'm ahead on the clock over herel!! All the way from NZ.

The Bengals are very cute Pete. Little tigers.

As it's almost the 2nd of January over here, happy new year from the NZ Zedders!

Still can't believe this has happened.

 

If any members on here would like further information on the funeral please contact a member of the team and we can forward the funeral details on.

 

I will be going up to say goodbye and pay respects to a great man.

 

We will not make it down Will. I've asked Al and Nix to pay our respect... Those of you that do go please raise a glass on our behalf to our lovely lovely Mr Mac xx

Same for me too, rather a long way over from NZ. Will be there in thoughts though.

Here's just a wee snippet of what shall I call it Mart'ness. About 4-5 years ago, Mart had friends who were visiting New Zealand. So Mart organised for me to meet up with his friends to collect some UK Z gifts. What a gem!

Absolutely gut wrenching. Martin was a top bloke and was one of the first people I met on the forum nearly a decade ago. Always very friendly and went the extra mile. A massive loss to the car community. Liz, my thoughts are with you and family. x

 

I remember on my first Wales meet in October 2008, at the carvery in Bala he stood up and said a few words, including wishing me a happy birthday, and he'd had a card made for me, and i'd only met him once before at that point. What a gent.

 

A couple of pics i've got of him...

 

 

I just about fell off my chair this morning when I read Tim's post on Facebook about Mart's passing, was absolutely staggered.

Thanks for posting this pic Chris. Mart's wearing one of the Zclub NZ tshirts I sent over for him. Think this particular tshirt is one I sent over about 8-9 years ago.

It makes all those 350z-uk.com calendars that I've kept that he's sent over all the more special.

Our thoughts are with you Liz.

Awsome I've been lucky enough to drive a few of those

 

Unfortunately the one in new zeland was in a van

That's a pity. And more reason to come back and drive the roads again in something fun to drive.

Must admit, surprised there aren't more female drivers. Their loss!

Welcome to the forum Sam. Not too many of us here, the boys call us "Sprinkles" as there's only a sprinkling of us.

Welcome. I bet you'll enjoy the stock out the box extra horses of the Z. Happy hunting.

Lol, you lot, thought you'd be relishing in the warmth, will be bloomin' freezing over there again before long. Lol, try an mid Summer day over here in Kiwiland, humidity of about 95-99% and 30+ degrees.

The thing is that houses over here are built to keep the heat in and that very few houses have A/C (around 0.5%) . Temperatures of 30 and over are quite unusual, maybe 1 or 2 days a year around here and up to 5 to10 a year in London and the south. With The U.K being further North than NZ is South our nights in mid summer are very short so the heat doesn't get to dissipate and temperatures can remain at 18-20 all night making sleep quite difficult for some.

Hey Pete, lived over there in the past and spent heaps of time over there too, got the passport. Make the most of the good weather while it lasts.

I have just arrived in Tokyo . . . 28C and 100% rain

Hey how are you? Was going to say how's Canada, guess you don't know right now.

Hey Dave, great to hear you're back with your new Zed on the way. Enjoy! Really cool to see past members reappearing.

One of the best bonuses is you have a great forum here to ask questions of. Good luck with whichever Zeddy you end up with.

Hey Paul, glad to see you're back. So the twenty million dollar [pound] question, what colour and which kit this time????

Jay, Jay, Jay, ya mad man! How are you? Must be time you got another Zeddy.

First one could be a calendar shot.

Always one of my favourite threads on this forum. Awesome pics guys, and love the Elephant Rock, beautiful.

Wow, that year flew by. Have fun guys and girls.

Gee I'm so behind the times, miss out on all of what's happening on here. Nice job Ricey!

If it makes you feel any better had a puncture yesterday too, on the almost brand new tyres, well a whole month old. At least puncture was repairable though. Poor Doogy.

I rarely have time to login these days, but it's fantastic to see you making progress with Pumpkin Darren. Keep up the momentum.

So cool, well done Ian.

Great to see you guys that have been devoted to the community for so long, stepping up and helping look after the forum.

Wow, haven't logged on for ages. Nice one Will!

^{Cool little car Nix. Even better now petrol prices are coming down (presuming they are over there as the barrel price is half was it was), will be super economical.}
