Administrators gav240z Posted May 14, 2012 Administrators Posted May 14, 2012 Hi guys, I got an email today: Hi I represent the publishers of a book, Samuri, The Ultimate evolution of the Datsun 240z, which may be of interest to your membership. It has been put today on UK Amazon site here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samuri-Ultimate-Evolution-Biography-Anderson/dp/0956465609/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337005229&sr=8-1 If you were interested in buying a small number directly from us, say 36 books, to direct sell to your members, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

boyblunda Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Also very interested but a little concerned at the amount of work that might be involved by anyone coordinating such a purchase - as in how the books might be distributed to purchasers. If the total of 36 is not reached then I am happy to go through Pitstop who provide an excellent service on motoring books. Regards Dave Quote
luvemfast Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I notice that Win Percy has contributed to the book. Bathurst winner and well known for racing Datsuns I stand corrected Percy found his way into motor sport through his first employment as a motor mechanic at his local garage. His first race was in 1964, in a local time-trial event driving his own road-going Ford Anglia 1200. He won, beating drivers of far more powerful cars in the process. While initially he pursued competitive driving as a hobby, his innate talent quickly resulted in many high-placed finishes in national-level races, including taking all three victories in the 1973 televised rallycross races at Cadwell Park. On the back of these results he turned professional in 1974, driving a Datsun 240Z in the British Modified Sports Car Championship. Once again, he won. Quote
PZG302 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I notice that Win Percy has contributed to the book. Bathurst winner and well known for racing Datsuns I stand corrected IIRC Win drove "Big Sam" for a season or two back in the day, as well as a few years driving Toyotas before and during his time with Tom Walkinshaw Quote
mossy Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I'm interested Gav although I checked my amazon account and it says they don't ship to Australia, thats a bit weird? Quote
Riceburner Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I got mine through amazon when it was first released not long ago. It's the biography of Spike Anderson, although not completely about Zeds it is a great read and quite funny too. I'd recommend it Quote
dalee Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I got a copy from he publisher a few months after it was printed. Great read, there is a fair bit on his development of Big Sam and road going Samurais. Plus and a lot of other wacky car related projects (427ci in a Austin healy) Highly recommended Quote
luvemfast Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 I would take 2 copies. One for each head? Oh wait................. You're a kiwi, not a South Australian! I know. That's ridiculous! South Australians can't read Quote
NZeder Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 One for each head? Oh wait................. You're a kiwi, not a South Australian! I know. That's ridiculous! South Australians can't read you crack me up Simon. I have friends....well ok one that I know would want a copy too. Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 18, 2012 Author Administrators Posted June 18, 2012 Hey guys, Probably best to order this on your own. Don't think we'll get a big enough group together for the discount anytime soon. Quote
zzzzed Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 One for each head? Oh wait................. You're a kiwi, not a South Australian! I know. That's ridiculous! South Australians can't read Quote

zzzzed Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Your mum didn't seem to mind And what's with your country roads. I was in Vic on the weekend. I almost had to stop once I crossed back in to SA to put my patrol back toggeather. Talk about rough Quote
