Phil · Post by **Phil** » Thu 29 May, 2008 20:25

It would be great to get a large number of Zs on display at Gaydon this year. It is also possible to arrange some off site drives around the Cotswolds if anyone is interested.
I need some idea of interest please.

I would like to make this one as it is my birthday

Will have to see if I can get a release pass

BTW Dee does your hubby sometimes drive a huge lorry with a yellow cab. Someone honked me a couple of times on ? Friday when I was driving Sharky towards the Lincoln end of the A15.

It looks very good, I'm thinking taking my goodlady for a long weekend away & calling in on the shown on the way home on Sunday (nice move??)

My car is not as pristine as you guys here & on the pics and will probably be covered in dead flys etc by the Sunday, is their a sperate place to park for us "not just yet concourse" models?

whiteminks · Post by **whiteminks** » Mon 14 Jul, 2008 12:36

Sounds like a good move Bally

Yes there was a seperate parking area last year so if you want to go off roading beforehand it doesn't matter!

Bally · Post by **Bally** » Mon 14 Jul, 2008 12:56

Nice one!!

Thanks

If I am around, then I might let my arm twisted into going, as it is not too far for me.

Cheers R.

Bally · Post by **Bally** » Thu 17 Jul, 2008 08:29

Just booked a weekend break near Warwick so weather pending I'm going to have a look round on the way home.

So how exactly do you get on site to display your Zed?

texasjohn · Post by **texasjohn** » Mon 21 Jul, 2008 17:57

Hi Phil and everyone!

It's a date!

I will come and show my very rare BMW 118d! Unless of course it is sunny and then the bike may have to come instead.

MarkOliver · Post by **MarkOliver** » Mon 21 Jul, 2008 18:16

Hello All

I will likely travel down early on the Sunday morning, starting off from J20 on the M6. Is anybody else travelling down on the day?

Perhaps we could meet up?,

I guess its quite hard to get all the cars togeather on the day ?

texasjohn · Post by **texasjohn** » Mon 21 Jul, 2008 20:06

I have cross posted this in babybmw.net, hope that is ok...

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Mon 21 Jul, 2008 20:12

It is my intention to have a Z display at Gaydon.
What I dont know is whether you have to to a BMWCC member to be on it or not.

Jon Miller · Post by **Jon Miller** » Mon 21 Jul, 2008 20:33

I'm heading over for this. What time does it open up in the morning?

Cheers

Phil: Can't see it now, but I am sure I posted on this thread quite soon after you put it up (we spoke about it on the Cat & Fiddle run) to say that I hoped to be at Gaydon, but couldn't be certain until nearer the time because of a family commitment.

It now looks as if I will definitely be able to make it, and I was wondering the same as Dav.

I had never looked on my Zed as being particularly concours, but at the Harewood House meet the other Sunday I was persuaded to enter. Would you like me to be on the Zed stand, or just in the main parking area? If the latter, will there be a separate section for Zeds?

Talking of the Cat & Fiddle, I will be off out in the Zed in a couple of minutes to meet up with some friends from Cheshire there for lunch.

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Tue 22 Jul, 2008 21:21

I am still looking for Zs for the display. However to be on the display you have to be a car club member, obtain a display pass from the club office and be there fairly early.
As of today there are only 3 passes issued.
Anyone can attend the event but only members can display.
There is a separate show and shine event which i believe non club members can enter and that might give the opportunity of being displayed.

JAY · Post by **JAY** » Tue 22 Jul, 2008 22:18

stick me down on the display Phil

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Wed 23 Jul, 2008 06:59

Looks like there is some interest now. Please contact the club office for the ticket/pass and mentionthat you want to be on the Z register display. As of yesterday there were only 2 passes issued plus me.

Hi Phil,
booked a display pass and tickets.

That's all done, Phil. I spoke to the office this morning, and they are sending me my £8 admission ticket plus a display pass. We have to be there by 7.30am, by the way.

It's a blooming good job I rang the office, not only to enquire about the above, but also to ask them why I hadn't received my July magazine and why I was unable to post on the club forum.

Despite the fact that I paid my current subscription by debit card on 25th July 2007 (went through my bank account on the 26th), and despite the fact that my membership card clear says that I am a member until July 2008, I was told that my membership had been lapsed because I had not renewed it!!! The lady said they had sent out reminders in May, but I certainly didn't receive it. Even so, it is highly questionable whether my membership had in fact legally expired when it was a case of the club apparently moving the goalposts and deciding that all renewals should be by the end of the previous month (a bit like car tax). In the past, I've always paid on the anniversary of my first joining, and there has been no break in the magazine being received.

When a lot of people are questioning whether it is really worth coughing up £40 to be a member of the club, when we have this forum to exchange news and views, this sort of treatment is surely going to put a lot of people off. However, for the record, I have "rejoined" for another year.

PS: Having dug out the paperwork, I see that the smallprint I received when I first joined says that renewals are due on the 1st of the month in which you joined, so I have to admit that, strictly speaking, they may have been correct. I still think it's a bit heavy handed of them, however, especially as my card says "Vaild until 7/2008." I couldn't even get into the member's area of the club website to renew online. How daft is that?

Check this link, from tomorrow. It is the nearest Met Office weather station to the Heritage Centre postcode...

...however, whatever it says tomorrow, or Thursday, Friday, etc, it will be different for Sunday!

Dee,
Unfortunately I'm not a member of the BMWCC so I don't see much point in coming all the way up I in Rodney just to stick him in the car park.
I will be there though and Russ is coming down from up North so we will be coming to to see you as usual.

I'll be there, but not early enough in the morning to show.

See you there!

Post by **Robert T** » Thu 07 Aug, 2008 20:46

I will definitely be coming down for the show now, but as I'm not in the CC I won't be showing. So see you all there.

What time are you going perhaps we could meet for the drive down J20 M6...I am thinking about a 9ish start.

Mark

Post by **Robert T** » Fri 08 Aug, 2008 13:02

Hi Mark,

I'm staying over on Sat night, but I might be up for the drive back if we're both leaving about the same time.

Cheers R.

MarkOliver · Post by **MarkOliver** » Fri 08 Aug, 2008 13:58

OK I am sure that our paths will cross on the Zed stand...

Post by **Robert T** » Sun 10 Aug, 2008 20:59

Sorry I didn't manage to hook up with you, Mark - I did look for you in the car park before I left.

Was lovely to meet/re-meet some fellow zedders. A big hi to Dee (Roadmonster), Graham (100GRA), Nero, Dav, Russ, Robin, and everyone else.

A special Hi to the owners of the purpley blue zed with the hardtop - it was me that waved to you on the M6.

More of a Lo to the owner of the red Z4MC who refused to even look at me on the M42.

Anyway, onto the customary pics. I need to do a bit of editing on some of the others, so here is a little taster.

Cheers R.

Sorry....didn't make it today.
I got distracted by Stella, a reasonably late night and a very big breakfast.
I blame Bloke.
By the time that was all over, it wasn't worth starting out to Gaydon.

Hope you all had a good day.
