Zedfest 2011 - a good day out

Went along to Zedfest yesterday and returned home about 10pm last night. First reaction was that there were not many of the usual crowd there - perhaps they'll go along today.
However just like the LakeZ meet there was a healthy contingent of 350Z members and a 370Z owner.
As the day progressed I met more and more new faces and once again thoroughly enjoyed myself. Derek's event just ‘works’ for me. There is always a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Throttleton (and his mate Steve) had brought some fibreglass wings down for me – that was fun getting them into my 240 to bring home. My rollcage didn’t help, I had to remove my passenger seat and it was still tight.

Trish (Tulip) and husband had come over from Ireland and were very welcome guests. Vaughan Hughes came up from Devon in his ex Fourways green 240 and brought his lad Rees with him. They were very good company and helped me a lot with my wings.

It was also good to see Mandy and Richard Heathcote again.

I met ‘Vern’ for the first time. He came over from Birmingham in his lovely Classic 911 and was after some encouragement and measurements for his 240 restoration – a great guy.
Also met Highway Star (Stephen) with his 260Z and Steve Burns manged to hire him a tent for the price of a years membership fee - good thinking guys.

Thanks Derek, a nice gathering in a lovely location.

I turned up on Sunday - probably missed most people but did manage to meet RichyP. Some stunning cars there! Seeing the few S30's there gave me a few ideas for mine so was well worth going down! Seemed like a great bunch of people!

Thanks for putting the show on!

Great weekend! Thanks to Derek for another succesful Zedfest. Highlights for me were the sports event and AGM, and of course the music provided by DJ and the excellent cars and company. Cant wait for next year! Must remember not to mix beer and whisky though...
