Event Thoresby 31st May

Just read that the event is not on the usual field in front of the hall itself. If anyone is familiar with the area, it's on the old Sunday market field which is about half a mile past the entrance to the hall if you are coming from the A614.

If I approach from 5 lanes end roundabout Keith, will that be before or after the hall entrance please?

Tony.
 
Super. Thanks mate.:) Are you going A1 and off at 5 lanes end?

Tony.
 
Are they smooth paved roads Paul, my car doesn't like bumpy roads.;)

Tony.
They're not paved Tony access to the field is pretty much straight off the road.

Thanks Keith, just concerned that it might be like going through the woods at Clumber. That destroyed my front splitter.

Hi Paul, I've not been on the website for a while, and only found out about the show when I got the e-mail the other night. from Classic Shows. Are we too late? I've also mentioned it to my next door neighbour who has a 2.8 Z3, and he's interested.

Also blown some creases out of the forum flag.

After getting stick about a dirty Zed on arrival at the Zedshed from one or two people (okay, one), action had to be taken before tomorrow:

Zed washed and dried - done !
Zed claybarred - done.
Zed polished - done.
Vinyl protector all surfaces - done.
Tyres blacked - done.
All glass windowline'd - done.

Enjoyable few hours, might not be to Andy or Mac's standards, but I'm happy with that.

See you all tomorrow !

Looking good Alex Did you wipe the tyres after dressing? prevents black spots all down the side of your car when you set off
 
Ready as I'll ever be.

And in between we and Gary and Izzy watched all 4 baby Bluetits fly the nest on the Shed. The last one made it all the way to next door's roof. Not bad for a first attempt at flight.

By the way I discovered by accident a way to make stone chips less obvious. My car was absolutely peppered with road grit a couple of years ago and left marks showing white undercoat. Ive found that by using Turtle WAX Color Magic ( black) on Stering Grey it almost makes the chips disappear. Huge improvement.

Paul do you know if there's any time restriction on leaving? If not then my neighbour is coming with me in tandem, he's got a 1998 2.8 auto Z3 in silver.
No restriction as their is vehicle movement throughout the day in and out of the parade ring
