bronzee Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just so you guys don't think I've forgotten about you over here. Here's what our Z summer has been like. Seriously had my head down, with mega hours working and 3 weeks in a row of summer events. Galaxy of Cars show two weekends ago, Concours d' Elegance on Sunday just gone and I spent 9 hours detailing a 370 for the show. Wasn't up to where I would have liked, really need another couple of days given the state it was in when I started. I couldn't even have the bonnet open to show of the 370's Stillen supercharger. 9 hours isn't long enough to do a full Concours type detail, that takes weeks of intense detailing, but it was almost passable. Pics here of the before and after of the 370. http://zclub.org.nz/...t=4072&start=15 Video of Ellerslie Intermarque. Unfortunately it doesn't touch on any Zeds. Skip to 11.40 for some of the Z Club cutaway engine running, and a fleeting glimpse of 'Doc'. People in our club have built this standing engine, everyone is always very fascinated by it. It's been off to a number of tech nights and university events. Oh and the theme for Concours d' Elegance this year was "Back to the Future" and yes there was Delorean there, didn't take any photos of it. Then on Saturday we have our annual pilgrimage to Taupo from all over the country and some come from overseas to our major Track Day. Stacks of prizes I've organised, dropped them off yesterday and they filled the whole trunk/boot of the car, and it's a big trunk. Ricey if you're reading this and near the middle of North Island, find your way to Taupo on Saturday and come to the track. Will be an event to remember. You could go for rides in some of the hard out race car Zeds. Some very good peddlers in the club, with some extremely quick, powerful Zeds.

bronzee Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 You have been busy That cut away engine is rather cool Somewhat, and being Club Captain, is my role to organise these events. Frantic would be quite descriptive. The cut away engine is very cool. Everyone is absolutely fascinated by it. We usually have about about 15 people standing around it at any time. Oh and for those of you that don't know old school Zeds, this is an L series engine. Im im taupo for 3 days over 2 different occasions in the next 2 weeks and bloody none on Saturday :-( I know Ricey, bad timing dude. You should bunk the bus tour and stay in Taupo .

Ricey Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Having spent the last 5 hours in Taupo I would wholeheartedly agree. Wow what a stunning place. Saw the advert for the drift championships on the way to the hot springs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ricey you really missed out, Taupo track day, was immense fun as always. We had our annual track day on Saturday. People come in from overseas (well apart from Ricey ) and around the country. We were down on numbers on the track a bit this year, but was an awesome weekend, they always are. We had an over abundance of prizes, with 8 event sponsors, so everyone received prizes, even helpers. :thumbup: Here's some pics, there were more pics but they seem to have disappeared this afternoon, if they reappear will post a link. There were some great pics too on the track. http://zclub.org.nz/album_cat.php?cat_id=146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
