Samuri Gathering V 2017

[Woody928]

Woody - yes that's the place, Watford gap services on the M1 between junc 16 & 17 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search.../data=!3m1!4b1
Meet and be ready to roll at 8.45am
Also meeting Steve Zclub7 at Watford Gap.
I've got phone numbers for Steve Zclub7, Woody928 & Chris Vega. If anybody else joining the M1 train wants to swap numbers pm me.

Great, will meet you guys there

Ok then, I guess it would actually make more sense for me to go with Woody as he's got my ticket and my place is closer to the M1!

Works for me dude, drop me a PM with your address that you need picking up from. We can then work out a time so that we can meet the others at Watford Gap before heading in. Could also meet Maxim and Tim at Newport Pagnell assuming your close?

 

[Woody928]

Shouldn't take me much more than half hour to Newport Pagnell so let's say 7:30 ish and then onto Watford Gap?

Both myself and Mr_Tenno will meet you at Newport Pagnell services for 7.30am and convoy to Watford Gap if you don't mind as we're driving past anyway.

Thanks Woody a great offer much appreciated, let's wait to hear what Mr.Tenno has planned and take it from there.

Hopefully Tim can sort you out Chris as I'm all set now, sorry I can't be of more help.

 

[TimW]

No problem Chris. I can meet you at MK Station. I thought I read somewhere about you arriving at 8.05am MK Station, but can find find it in posts, likely mistaken but anyway, yes it's no problem.

I'm hoping to tie up with MaximG at Newport Pagnell Services say around 7:30 ish. Watford Gap is about 45mins from MK Station so 8am latest ideally or before would be great. Not essential, just let me know timing.

 

[chrisvega]

Thanks Tim, collection from MK station would be great if it fits in with schedule. Earliest train I can get arrives at 7.50am so will aim for that to ensure we are on schedule to meet Jake at 8.45am Watford Gap. Will then collect my Z from Donington Moto services which we pass on way in to circuit.

Looking forward to meeting with you guys over the weekend and seeing your cars. I do however like to watch many of the races so I have been know to disappear for a few hours. Also Stewart Middleton will be driving his 240Z on the 'rally stage' which is on the outside of the circuit behind Redgate Corner. It can be viewed from the Redgate banking.

The Club entrance is from the Donington Musem entrance and is a long drive which can dirty your car. It might be worth taking some water and a sponge just to clean the wheels/sills.

Thanks for the tips, sounds like Goodwood tucking the rally stage away out of sight. I'd certainly like to get over there to see the action particularly if there's a 240z being driven in anger

What a fantastic 'turn-out' of Zs!

Great day as usual - our cars and 'tent' did us proud.

 

[Mr Ex Jnr]

Saturday pictures from Donny was a good turn out. Very enjoyable day on club stand

[johnymd]

What a great turn out. Wish I'd come now as I've only been pottering about with the zed.

 

[Mr Ex Jnr]

Well it was another good day at Donighton Sunday weather stayed dry but windy still enjoyed it and seeing new faces havin a good chat about z

Weird as Saturday on way home near Meadowhall Sheffield I saw my old mk2 golf on a recovery truck. I sold it over a year half ago in Stratford bear Birmingham how strange to see it back in Yorkshire

 

[Garaculas]

Thanks very much for a great day on Saturday guys, was really nice to talk to a few of you and get some inspiration for the next steps of my Z!

I know my car (VOY) is hardly in a "show and shine" condition, but she's done 300 miles this weekend with only a couple of fueling issues (which i had expected) so just for my car to get there was a huge accomplishment for me!

Massive thanks to the kind gent in the Z who pulled over to see if i was OK when i was replacing my fuel filter for the 2nd time that day, just goes to show what a nice community it is on here!

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Great day, even guys from other Clubs commented on our Z showing.

All down to JK (and Steve Burns for the 'tent').

Thank you JK for organising another top event - perhaps the best yet.
