xStric9x Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Can we please keep all the Wales aftermath discussion in this thread please
Rentech Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Sorry to start off on a downer, but was there was an accident on the way home (A5) involving at least one member of the Wales drive out. Hope all involved were OK. The Zed looked very very poorly. Quite a few others had already stopped to assist so they will most likely fill us in. Think it may have been Sunset 350z. If that's the case hope you're both fine. On the plus side it was a very well organised day as usual. I'll join the others in posting all the photos once they're sorted.
xStric9x Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Sh!t, this must of happened after i turned off to go towards Wrexham Hope everybody involved is ok.
marzman Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Oh man no way... i hope everyone and their cars are okay...
kta Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I believe it was sunset 350z, from what i heard when i got back to Chester Services he and his lad are ok but the car is probably a write off couple of pics:
IanS16 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Sunset is fine guys, seemed (obviously) a little shook up but at least he is ok
clarkie34 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Holy S**t he passed me as we turned back towards Chester,he carried on with a few others.He also sent me a text about a lower plenum he has,that was sent at 4.50.
xStric9x Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 That is good to hear that they are OK. +1 Please keep this thread to discussion only and use this one for pics and vids viewtopic.php?f=19&t=22914

nurrish Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Would just like to show my appreciate for all involved today and those that made such a wonderfull day. Hats off to you all and was also nice putting forum names to faces Bring on next year
stanski Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Just wanted to say a big thanks to the Mods for organising this especially Beavis. Yet another great Wales run - even though we had the Wales Police everywhere(I did bribe them with cakes at the Services - I think it worked! ) and the rain on and off it did'nt dampen spirits and I think everyone had a great time. It was a great sight to see so many Zeds there - the car park at the pub at the end looked like Nissans parking lot at the docks! Nice to meet you all folks - put a face to the web name so to speak and meet up with old friends Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Squarehead by the way , good to see you both and with wedding cake in hand (by the way - its all gone Mark - sure its cost me about £10 extra in fuel - the weight of it! We heard at Chester Services about Steve and his son thank goodness they are ok. Hope the rest of you arrived home safely. Just a couple of pics on the other thread too busy gassing this time. :bye:
clarkie34 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah big thanks to Beavis and his team for organising the event. Just get Micheal Fish on the team next year.
IanS16 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 +1 to the previous comments - Thanks to everyone who organised this event and also thanks to everyone else for going, had a great day! Knackered now though
xStric9x Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Its just a shame you don't get chance to introduce yourself to everybody

nurrish Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Lets just say rear wheel drive with crappie conditions is a recipe for disaster especially coming off a roundabout
IanS16 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Fair play to Steve though, it'd only been crashed 10 mins and he asked me if I wanted any parts Hopefully he'll be back soon with another Zed
H5 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Steve was a couple of cars behind me and I saw it happen in the rear view mirror. It was just an accident and the car stood up well, the driver curtain airbag went off but Steve was fine. Am sure he'll get a new car but the main thing is he is OK. I'm sure he'll be by at sometime soon to catch up. As for the event itself, it was certainly big. I drove for about 24 of the last 36 hours. Covered 755 miles, burning about 130 litres of V Power! All good fun! Thanks to Dave for rolling his sleeves up again and the support from the rest of the team and the members in making it what it is - the biggest known drive meet in Europe for the 350Z. Thank you all for driving sensibly and keeping the reputation of the club at the highest possible standing. Now it will be great to see you along at some of the other shows, you can even get your Zed on track at these.
