We'll be there :) Probably meet up with everyone at Takapuna

But not at the golf course.

I'll tell you now that on a Saturday, parking will be impossible. (Rugby grounds + Courts = full car parks)

As long as I'm not working and have money for fuel, I will go anywhere. literally. I went to Hamilton twice this weekend past. Once just for the heck of it, and then to get some parts for a silvia.

Kenneth

I dont think the poe carpark is the place to meet. Generally on saturday mid morning to mid afternoon that place is full.

Better would be albany somewhere. Anyone remember where my work is? Its probably a better place to meet. 9 Apollo Dr. It is a car park and should be fairly empty on saturday.

SHOWVR
25-07-2007, 12:29 AM

How long is the cruise gonna take, what is the plan, can maybe meet up with you guys later.......

I had a 'phone call from Andrew Simms this afternoon - they have taken out my computer and a stepper motor and couriered it down to Christchurch(?!) for a diagnostic check and I won't have it back before Tuesday, so I am out. I have clicked on "yes" so please take me off the list. Might still make it in the Colt courtesy car - I owe Carsten a rubber seal!

Gly
26-07-2007, 09:40 AM
no rush for it... so if you cant make it thats cool...

also i have a spare stepper motor if you need it?

william
26-07-2007, 09:45 AM
Thanks for that, will let you know about the stepper motor

bradc
26-07-2007, 09:59 AM
Thats no good William, it would be nice if you could still turn up though.

william
26-07-2007, 10:11 AM
I probably will, it would be nice to catch up with the gang.

GroundControl
26-07-2007, 11:42 AM
haha hopefully mine will be back from Simms tomorrow too, an expensive service its turning out to be (general service, fluids, lower suspension arm, stuck calipers, brake pads all round and discs up front)

I guess I could rock along in the courtesy Colt too (or scab a ride with det) /pan

bradc
26-07-2007, 09:11 PM
Sam - how much did they charge for front discs, and what was wrong with the old ones?

um, old ones were a bit warped apparently (I hadn't noticed any juddering in the brakes) and couldn't be skimmed any more - I think he said the new ones were normally $105 each, but I'm getting the club discount off that.
