the ZCCA judging rules allows only the proper owner's manual to be in the glovebox for judging, but it doesn't say what is allowed in the centre console.

I just keep a notepad & pencil in there, and the notepad was cut so it fits in just right with the pencil between it and the side, so it doesn't rattle. I also keep the tyre pressure gauge in there, but I would remove that for judging.

Fair enough?

thxZ

Nothing is allowed in the console for stock class. Besides a car shows better without clutter. I like judging cars that are clean, like they came from the factory.

A crisp 100 dollar bill , top of console .

Just like Zlady said, unless it is the owners manual(and then only in the Glove box), or a properly attached and fitted Nissan or aftermarket part, take it out! Slip that stuff into your shirt pocket, or your cleaning supplies bucket and you will have no worries, leave it in and you are only inviting a point reduction.

Personally, I took a point for something similar in Mad Mikes 350Z in Cleveland-he came up behind me at breakfast the next morning put his big mits squarely on my shoulders(I was seated), and asked my wife if my Life Insurance was paid up! (that point was not the only one I took...)

If I could not find in the rules that something would not be an issue, I would remove it.

Remember: Originality, Cleanliness, fit and finish for the stock class, Cleanliness, fit and finish for the rest of the classes.

Yes, please. DO read the rules for what they say, not what they don't say. For instance, they DON'T say that the $100 bill should be on top of the console, but for obvious reasons it should be inside the console. Just common sense and standard protocol.

Beth, I'm sorry I won't be able to judge your car in Nashville.

I stand corrected . That would explain the judge's recent stink eye...:embarrass:

What can I do then, mine's a '70.......in the glovebox maybe !

If you know I am judging your car go ahead and leave the $100 in it.....I will surely remove it secretly for you and save it in my pocket.

Chris, Sorry you won't be judging my car....but hey it will save me alot of detailing work from wiping your drool off the car.

Ah, the origin of the term "spit polish"...

Hey now there's an idea....Chris you can detail my car since I'm arriving Monday and that will free me up to PLAY until the show Saturday!!!

Just need to thumb a ride from others.

Here's another idea for you Tomo. Sammie-Joe from the Second Fiddle bar downtown. She is permitted for the interior but only if you have leather seats.

She beats a pen and pad for note taking every day-not to mention a built in distraction for point deductions(leather seats not withstanding)!

for vintage/antique car shows, which includes the classic Z, the judging manuals want you to display the owner's manual, if you have a good one, on the passenger seat, as well as any other documents relevant to the car. I don't usually go to those tho.

In any case, I don't think I would allow anyone to open the glove box themselves, and at your local car show (with judging) they don't even look in the glove box.

thxZ

P.S. (Will)

everybody likes the Z key chain you sent to me.
