Default 30th Anniversary Z parade, Silverstone, U.K. (where your friends call it a Zed)

From the land where your friends call it a 'Zed'. We just had a 30th anniversary (of the UK Z Club) parade at Silverstone (a racetrack in England). All types of Z turned out, from the 240 to the 350 (MY07). We had a parade lap around the racetrack at Silverstone. 174 Zs turned up (subject to official confirmation) and drove round the racetrack at the same time.

I saw a guy in a '73 Z the other day. He had it in Lemans (or the equivalent color). The girl on the right is hard-core English looking.

Your wish is my command. I apologize to any female Zedders, but I do not appear to have the male equivalents on my camera. I also apologize for the unneccessary accessories.

On the parade (and later on):


The cars are running in chronological order; the 240Zs in the front, and the 350Zs in the back; as there are so many Zs on the track, you can only see the 350s.

Great Pics! Thank you. I like all the body styles. Blonds with British accents FTW! Do the Z's exhaust sound British there too?

Good to hear from a Z lover from across the pond. Incredible turn out. There are some serious 350Z racers on the track.

BTW members should now know where the US color Silverstone comes from.

The steering wheels are on the wrong side of the cars!

It seems to me that the Z enthusiasts there are an older crowd than here in Nor Cali.

I think they've chopped the unnecessary bits out; it's a pure race car.
