It was brilliant.
FRIDAY
I knew it wasnt going to be packed, but we got there to find only Bird & Neen camping on Friday night and Arkwright with everything set up in the club house enjoying a beer with Rita, his dog.
We pegged our dog Syntax to the ground on a 3m lead and me/Alex/or 7 yr old Michael put up our tent, Mikey put up his and all commenced a damn good drink which finaled at 3am with car music and all silly undercar lights going.
SATURDAY,
more turned up in the day time. A van turned up with lots of 240/60 bits for sale. About 6 350's, a few 240/260's and Ceejay decided to do a random check later on. He just drove around the field and buggered off while we were settling in for a BBQ and didnt stop to say hi. I counted 14 different comers and goers through the day in all. Maverick turned up very early hours Saturday morning to set up camp, and later, the 260 pitched a tent (apologies for no username lol).
The BBQ is basically half an oil drum on a frame with a grill to go on top. The camping ground has a MASSIVE stock pile of wood/logs, so you are tempted to find the biggest log to chuck on... beware the arsonists haha.
SUNDAY
A proud show of 350's rolling in, and one lovely grey Z31. Finally saw a Z31 in the fresh! Unfortunately, the 240's/60's that turned up Saturday and said were coming back, didnt. Candyred and the green 260 were the only representation of the breed. In all, Sunday filled half the field, the sandwich truck hadnt broke down like it did on Saturday morning and showed up. Ceejay and Shell turned up and put their nuts and bolt stand up .... which consequently cost us a fortune. 240/60 bits for sale again, although I would love to have seen the purple Z31 grrr. The field was 1/2 full, and that's a LOT of cars, but we can do much better.
Candy Red - best in show, best of class - Hands down. I just want to fall into that paint work, it puts you in a heavenly daze just looking at it.
ShellZX - the white 300ZX with the Brutus Boot install won best z32. I have to say by one vote that came in late against Maverick.
Only 1 Z31, and only one 260
That Vielside - Orange and black 350 is SO well executed. ... and won best of the 350's as well as 2nd place in best of show.
More vote cards came in than there were eligible voting drivers tho ... tut tut lol
