Guys we are in the process of laying out a road trip in the summer of 2014, plans are now in action to for see a National Exhibition of our cars, we intend to start at Lands End driving up the country, across to Ireland, back through all of Wales and then Scotland and through England, finishing off at the NEC Birmingham for our National Meet, There is an Immense amount to organising with the Area Reps, Police forces and insurances in place for it to run smooth, we will also be donating funds taken towards Paul's Charity, I will be in talks with our Americam sister site and our European Reps and members, to see if they can get involved in some way, we will consider a Registration of all members and car reg numbers to be printed on our T Shirts to commemorate the event, if anyone has any ideas please post them up and we will consider all posts, this is in the early stages of organisation and thats why we will try to run this be early summer 2014.
The organisers of this event will be undertaken by Myself and Maccer.
i could be up for this providing my car is finished by then. it should be hopefully. need a new turbo and ecu before hand tho. hope i get it sorted. so if i do if theres anything i can do to try and help out let me know
Hi Guys as Keith has said we're in the early stages of planning this..... I for one will be doing the whole trip in my R34.... Looking forward to it
I'm giving myself about a month to start thinking about things and logistics once we have a good idea of what we want.... Then we'll be putting up an initial attendance list...
As Keith has said there are going to be a lot of things to take care of and folk to be contacted. Any help would be greatly accepted....
Sounds awesome! I'd love to be able to do the whole trip but it might be a bit out of my price range to be honest. I'll definitely be doing as much as possible though
I think get get the route planned with checkpoints timed for the whole trip would be a good starting point. Send all the area reps these details then we can approach our local authorities with the proposal. If there is any problems we can report back to the chief and ammendments made well in advance.
How about a world record number of skylines in one place (NEC) then the world record could be in memory of him and in the record books forever in his name?
Guys to hopefully to clarify......
To everyone that has replied on this thread so far thank you for your pledged support.... it's awesome!
I see a few people mention about how expensive this could be.... yes agreed it will be expensive to do the whole trip... I'm not asking for that..... There will be a few core group cars myself included as well as Big Chief...anyone else can join us if they wish.... We're asking for members to join us in a convoy in their respective areas headed by their Area Reps, as we pass through on the relay.... I don't expect anyone to do the full trip unless they want to.... hope that makes the situation clearer......
sounds awesome, I was planning a road trip round Europe this year but this sound a whole lot more fun, if there is anything i can do to help let me know
I would love to take part in this in some way, I just hope that timewise, it fits in with other plans/commitments. Maybe even bring a few of our German members with me for a nice long skyline weekend.
I will get in touch with our sister site skylineownersusa.com and the European guys, to see if they can run a similar siultaneous event their side, this way we will be represented in the USA and Europe, and possibly New Zealand and Australia and create a worldwide event, remember this will be a ONE OFF event of a lifetime and the more we have involved the better, we will print a one off design of skylineowners.com T Shirt to mark this occasion.
any ideas you guys want to throw at us will be considered and if we can incorporate it we will, at the end of the day "We are Skylineowners.com"
Awesome idea guys
Count me in for anything I can do. North East wise I know the roads as well as anyone so can help route wise, and suggest ideas for stopping points etc. Just a thought but how about contacting Nissan at Washington and see if they want to be involved?
I'll do some 'convoy' mid south and the meet @ NEC.
I imported my 1st Skyline very shortly after the 1st FF film - not actually because of the film, but my did it give me some respect back then, I even nitrous'd it.
I do feel Paul Walker has had an impact on my life with these cars, and I'll gladly give a little time and money to his 'good causes'.
PM me when more is confirmed please.
Andrew.
