Hi Everyone, well after owning my 03 350z for about 3 years I,ve finally joined the club, I was getting some fish and chips up the road when this guy handed me a card, I thought oh great what does he want to sell me! but it was Dave Turner with a card for the club, thanks Dave.
He told me there was a club run on the weekend and I went along, had a great day, thanks to everyone there for making me feel welcome and not criticizing my car,s flaws.
I,ve had many cars over the years, mostly american or V8,s (nice to finally have a car that can handle ) and have been a member of a few clubs so know that the occasional member can be a little over zealous when it comes to originality or perfection.
While I try to look after my cars and make them better than when purchased, I believe they are meant to be driven and tend to make the most of their performance, I,m keen to participate in some track events with the rest of the club.

Looking forward to meeting more members in the coming months,


Greg & Tracy

Welcome to the Club and to the forum, Greg and Tracy. You will find no one will make adverse comment
about others cars. They are mostly modified in some way as you will soon see. The most fiddled with are
the 240Z and 260Zs I would think, although some of the 300Zs have some pretty nice stuff done.
We don't pamper our car too much. Once a year it gets a good groom for the club concours, and the rest
of the time its driven wet or dry on club events, washed and polished.
Couldn't come on the run at the weekend, grandchildren and birthdays.
Look forward to meeting you both. 8)

Hi Greg, great to meet you yesterday. Didn't you do well completing the trial without a navigator! 8) :D

Way to go Dave taking any opportunity to recruit new members, even foraging for fish & chips!! 8) :D :D


** If anyone wants any club cards, come along to a meet, I usually have a bundle of club cards with me. **


Sorry Greg, back on topic, welcome. :wink:

Welcome guys!

ALways great to have keen new members. Love the car - it looks great.

Is this your daily drive, or do you only go for a spin when the mood takes you?

We had a good day at Hampton Downs today.
A few spits of rain but most of the driving was done in the dry.
Lots of caged race cars today.

Had a great day, good to see you again Mike, we held our own against some serious cars and still got to drive home, doesn,t get much better than that.
Good number and variety of cars running and only a nice SS Camaro visiting the panelbeaters next week.
