I'll be there with bells on - dying for an excuse to show my mint Z32 TT to enthusiasts, hoping to glean more zed knowledge in the process.

Looks like I have to go as a navigator again, unless I can get my 350 mechanically sound before Saturday. So just one for me now Dave, cheers.

I'd just like to say a huge thank you to Dave our trial master and his family for organising the trial today.

The weather cleared up to be very hot and sunny by the time everyone arrived at the BP, and everyone was chomping at the bit to zoom off. For some reason the line up of zeds stirred the natives a little.

Great to see at least at the 6 zeds there, few of us left our zeds at home. One very stunning orange zed wtih brand new paint, oh, dealt to quickly.

Headed off on our little trial, zoomed off up the motorway North, towards Waiwera and then inland, where the gravel roads were to provide more than a little fun.

Great to see our hard earned dollars going somewhere with all the motorway piles going into place, for the link to Puhoi. It was heaps and heaps of fun, especially the gravel, well that was just evil fun,

glad I wasn't in my car, 350 wouldn't have had the ground clearance on most of those roads.

Oh and the big truck on our side of the road on the blind corner, haha Pussycat came across that same truck too.

The ditch is your friend.

We had a scheduled break at Puhoi Cheese Factory, for everyone to gather their bits of flax flowers, goarse, straw, toilet paper (yes, toilet paper

), shell, toi toi stem for those of us who hadn't already gathered necessary bits along the way.

Zoomed through the Kaipara flats area and into the back of Warkworth and then through lots of questions on the way, towards Matakana to our lunch venue.

47 questions, and Stuart & Judith, had 45 correct, well done you two!!! Oh, and well done to 350z & Bev for winning the flashy stunning yellow dice!!

They just set the BMer of beautifully!!!

Awesome, perfect weather, heaps of fun and a great bunch of zed heads and a very well organised event!!!

We may even have some photos of the 5 zeds that actually completed the trial in Classic Car Mag. For now, I'll upload some of my substandard photos soon.

Like to say thanks for the great day, to Dave and organisers. Was a lot of fun. Even if the new paint job got its first gravel initiation, all part of motoring. Look forward to more of the same.

Thanks Dave for an excellent run. Will have to brush up on the Z general knowledge for next time.
