77 Liftback

I was in the Z Club (and TEC) back in the early 90's , and the Z Club organised the Japanese Classic and Sportscar Days at Goodwood '92 and Aintree '93 ( I went to both ) They were not called Japanese Auto Extravaganza From memory , after those shows things then moved to Billing , with the Z Club Convention and the TEC National , when they started inviting other Japanese car clubs , which got bigger and bigger and ended up being billed as JAE in 1997 I'm not normally so pendantic , i just think it odd they saying it started in 1991 , wen it didn't althou could just be a genuine mistake , getting a 1 and a 7 mixed up

Looking at the T shirts on the JAE website and see they have got Est. 1991 on them I am pretty sure that JAE started either 1996 or 1997 , not 1991

Oil and filter time

Thankyou The weather was total opposite to Clumber Park couple weeks ago ! It was very windy and raining all day , which spoiled it , other than that it was good , i was suprised how many cars were there given the weather ( guessing about 300 or more ? ) can only imagine how much bigger and better it would of been dry.. The Motor Museum was very good Here a pic for general idea of the weather

Ready to roll for Simply Japanese at Beaulie tomorrow
