Great pics guys - Ian welldone for sorting it so quickly - sorry I couldn't make it. I did clean my car incase I could - interestingly surprised to find that the flames from my exhaust are burning my bumper and lights and now got to work on getting ride of the weird coating that is all over the laquer!.
Dum spiro, spero

Thanks for the invite guys :x

Only kidding, I was busy taking parts off of Sarahs old EGI FC to swap for a set of FD callipers, so I couldn't have made it anyway.

Maybe next time I might at least get an invite though lol :D :wink:

Looks like it was a gread day.
I may be getting older but I REFUSE to grow up :D

What a great day out! :grin:

I had been out for a nice quiet drive in the GTR, V early sunday AM
and then got down to some hard graft repairing my trailer when Ian rang to say how about a little drive through Norfolk.

What do you do? Hard work or a gentle run out in the motor?
Mmmm, well anyway i carried on Grinding for another 10 seconds so i didnt feel to guilty and then back to the pumps (just so Prescot can get his third Jag)
A quick detour to B&Q Ipswich for Paint so the Missus could get on with decorating While i was to be hard at play :lol:

Then a nice leisurely sunday drive to Thetford!
By now obviously my fuel gauge was faulty so i thought i had better stick another 40 ltrs in just to be sure.

I was met by the sight of 4 GTRs as i pulled into the retail park and as the other lads had been waiting for 40mins we thought we had better make a move. ( I thought it wise to go as the appitising smells wafting over from Mac Ds was having the same effect as carbon monoxide!)

A great drive followed through Norfolk, all of Norfolk!
I was a little unsure, not of the roads, but being so far across the Border without my passport :wink:

Refreshments followed the end of the drive and with only one more fuel stop when i got home (thank Christ! :o ) that was the end of of a great day out.

Cheers to all of you for such a good day and great photos as well!

Rex, great write up.

Even though I didn't come - I managed to have to visit Shell 3 times this weekend too ... Skylines really aren't economy friendly.

I wish I believed that - I'm sure the government will add a skyline tax one day.

The government may not have added Skyline tax but i know all the tuners and parts companies have!!

Nik I can only apolagise about the lack of invite mate, Come say hello next meet so i can put a face to the username!!

I will involve much more cars next time but i think its Suffolks turn now to host us!

Shame you could not make it in time Ben.
