AK47 Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I don't need to stay over, I could take steve_b's place on the stand on Sunday maybe... if he's only staying for Saturday that is. I'll be driving from Norwich. If that sounds cool I'll get waxing tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 In previous years I have taken my cars up there they don't tend to check the regs. "Forget" to put it in the window then just wave it at them when you go in and you should be fine!! No promises though but if you go in with other z's they normally don't cars on the regs.

Removed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 guys....... what an amazing weekend! where do I start? Saturday was an early start indeed: 5am alarm just to find it started raining on my newly polished Z :dry: Arrived on time @ Donny services to meet Chesterfield & Mrs, Stve_Jones & Mrs and steve_b & Mrs! we got to Donington and started queuing: took me and steve_b TWO HOURS to finally arrive at our spot, through a very tight tunnel passage with KERBS! scary stuff to find steve_jones and chris had already put up the gazebo! well done guys. We were neighbouras of ClubCento, Fiat 500 and 600 owners' club! :teeth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 after cleaning the cars (you got to love Meguiars booster wax! ) and missing the morning D1 UK drift action, we had a walk around the track and trade stands and we decided to buy a programme to be aware off the times of anything going on... we then have a wander towards the pit lanes to meet Andy Barnes from Sumo intent in preparing his pink Z and his time attack cars (R34 and Evo) for the events, we were surprised to hear that the pink one had broken...... the driveshaft! (carbon fibre one). now we know that 700nm of torque is the limit for the oem CF driveshaft! pics when chris uploads them Andy also invites us to come to visit the pits later on, always said he's a great guy!

Removed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 we also discovered another Z participating to the D1 event to gain one of the 35 D1 UK licences needed to compete in the championshi, belonging to SVAImports. Nce design, radiator in the boot, roof cooling scoop and side scoops, white Z with Carbon Creations full CF bodykit We went to see the drifting in the afternoon (and the Jet fuelled quad bike, madness! ) to see the above Z had radiator issues and not running. The Sunday would be critical for both Zeds to gain a licence, no pressure Tim! (Marshall, Sumo D1 driver, very nice bloke, we had a chat later on) I then met NickMSM and gorgeous girlfriend, I'm sorting the SpeedRacing kit for him and was nice to meet up, now we'll just need to get your gf involved as a promo girl for the club stands mate, as she's done that sort of thing before, she said! :teeth: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 we re-set up the stand bar the gazebo, (in hindsight a godsend, got VERY windy later on) then got to cheer up Tim in his pink Z (very cautios and smooth driving, he needed to get some points then! ) meet pete jenkins (nice guy! ) and his sunset Z and bigphil with his Nismoed Z (both on different stands) Networked some more with KW, LSD, and Ultimate Velocity, who told us they install Greddy TT kits for the UK Zeds below £5k! they'll come on board and give us more info hopefully, but good news indeed! More drifting, random naked women, time attack, more naked women, ClubCento, WIND, rain, sunshine, WIND and the day came to an end.

Will Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I came down on the Saturday (left my zed in the carpark, was a last minute descision) at about 10:30, i watched the first stage of the D1 which was FANTASTIC, saw the Sumo 350 do only one drift, so i walked over and chatted to a chap from the sumo team (no idea who he was) for a while, who explained that the driveshaft had gone ! I stopped by your little nook twice in the day, once before 2pm and then sometime before i left at around 4pm, but there was no on there, just 4 or 5 lonesome zed's! I have some piccies i took here, but beware, there are boobies http://www.nixbox.co.uk/gallery2/v/Donny06/ Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
