Picture 1 & 7 my lad, picture 5 me, picture 4 Mike Wow!

Great quality thanks, in fact better than the official photographer!

Girls, don't know!

Glad you like them. The pictures of the cars I mean! Did not get to meet so many of you. May be next time.

I hesitated (smoke) but decided to go for it - you can tell when 'cos I take the two Z32s alond ther pit straight that I'd been cruising behind !

Great Photos Hatari! The pics my Dad took have all got railings blocking the way!!! I think this pic of my car is featuring in the mag (if you don't mind)

Chunk looks like he's having fun!

Rob, your car was very quick-I was impressed! Don't know if it was you or your son that lapped me!!! My first time on the track so I hope to get quicker!

Hmmm, but he HEARD it - he wasn't there was he and neither where you AND i still didn't see a 260 2+2 on the clubs' stand ! Getting rare are they, made of salt or just not their place ?

Wont be long before the custard tart gets a nudge from a 2+2.

Gotta be there before you rub with me boy ! And you AND your car have a weight disadvantage.........

Cheeky sod, i've had me hair cut and my cars probaly weighs the same as I dont have half a ton of steel plates and bird sh1t underneath....

Mines' a US car - no welding and unless you've got plastic panels - you'll always be behind me ! You've probably forgotten how to drive a Z anyway it's been so long......

Still, if yours breaks down - you won't need to wait for the 'very nice AA man' !

The follow up (for Skiddy and Slacky) !

I forgot this, the next day I stopped off on the M4 to get a sandwich and was hailed over by a couple in a Mitsu. Estate.

"You were at JapFest yesterday weren't you ?" Yes ! "But you were racing and now you're just driving home as normal !" I gave her a charming smile and said "we weren't racing - that was just for fun" !

God, I love these cars ! Gimmee an L6 anyday !

I've got some good Video footage of Japfest both from in the car and outside. Features Sean, Steve Francis, and myself mainly, but others in shot too. Russ are you still the man to publish this? Biggest pain in the arse is to convert Samsung Digimax to Windows Movie Maker.

 

[SeanDezart]

I have a man in Paris 'what does'. Send it over to him and........

He has two 240Zs !

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I can do it Sean, off work this week so will convert and send to Russ.

Dependent on size, I think if it's less than 10mb you can upload it direct to the gallery, but needs to be in a suitable format. Sometimes Windows media encoder is pretty handy for this (I think this is the right link)

Or e-mail it to russ.taylor@zclub.net and I'll see what I can do.

Looking forward to seeing it !

Why were there NO 260Z 2+2s, 280ZXs and Z31s out on the track ?

Do the owners themselves consider them lardy tubs ? Or are they considered only good enough for straight line performance work ?
