[Trow]

Hmmm wonder if this is going to be a ppatteren, my box dies before the first meet, DickyTim's clutch dies before the second.... KiwiTT and Ken, you guys better look out for the biggy in Rotorua :-)

[Kenneth]

[KiwiTT]

[p1_]

So after the mystery cruise was it waterworld then watch the balloons?

Who is planning to do what?

Mentioned it to the 'better' half and she seemed keen to make it a day trip for the family.

:thumbsup:

[_simon_]

I'll be giving water world a miss but will be going to the ballons.
For those coming from out of town, the Gallagher car park is a good place to park, maybe we could go past as part of the run so people know where it is.

[Trow]

well folks, we will have a professional photographer at the meet this time and for the meet in Rotorua, Sandy is coming down with me for both runs. Woo hoo, no more crappy photos from me !!! :thumbsup: (stress relief)

[Kenneth]

Who wants to convoy to the meet?

Anyone from the north shore, ill be at the takapuna golf course 8:20 to approx 8:30.

South of the bridge, I am thinking eithier the BP before the Drury offramp or the BP at Bombay.

[ShadyNZer]

[KiwiTT]

10.00am: Huntly Information Centre, State Highway 1
10.30am: Shell Te Rapa, Te Rapa Road (next to Mc Donalds, across from Burger King!



We can add Takapuna Golf Course at 8:20-8:30 to the above time table.

[i3ooyah]

cant make it to this one, car is still in pieces

[Pescha]

Just remember guys, these times are estimates, the key to a successful run is communication, either texting of phoning each other. So once leaving Bombays, text me so I know where you are all up too.... If anyone is meeting us at Te Rapa Shell please let us know so we can swap cell numbers so we can text you to let you know where we are up too.... PLEASE no speeding to keep to these times, again they are just estimates.....

Cheers,
Pescha!

Anyone who wants my number, PM me or use my detail to IM me on ICQ or MSN

[v8killa]

Mine one died before the first meet, and as far as I know - still is - 106 days and counting.....

[KiwiTT]

. PLEASE no speeding to keep to these times, again they are just estimates.....

If we get to them too soon we will wait and use the times as a departure time+5 mins.

[Trow]

well I will be on the shore, not far from Taka, Ken if you want to meet at the golf course that sounds fine to me!!

[dickytim]

dont really need one... its pretty hard to miss... take the TAKAPUNA offramp, then turn (if traveling south turn right, traveling north turn left) and its the carpark on your right almost immediatly. if you are going north, you have to get over a lane of traffic very quick.

[Kenneth]

here you go...

This was a great run - with 5 Legnums and 2 Galants at the meet. Plus one suspicious looking Legacy, that I think was trying to masquerade as a VR-4 :rolleyes4

Thanks Pescha for organising this, and taking us on a tour of Hamilton, family enjoyed the day out . :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Have some photos - do I post them up here or how do I get them into the gallery? :inquisiti
