kiwi808 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Caffeine and Classics is held on the last Sunday of every month. WHERE: Smales Farm, Auckland WHEN: 10am till 1pm. WHAT TO BRING: All cars are welcome. This has proved to be a popular event and there can often be over 300 cars in attendance. Everything from V8's to Rotaries. Hot Rods to Vintage. Euro to Japanese. Everything. What tends to happy now, is that most people show up by 9:30 if you want a spot in the front car park, as this is usually pretty full by 10:00am, although with an average of over 300 cars a month now, parking in the back car park is usually sweet, as this is often pretty full too. It also makes it easier for groups to park together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 For those that are interested, a bunch of us meet up before hand at Parts Master on Wairau Road. We usually meet up at about 9:45 and roll out at about 10:am as it is only a 5 minute drive to Smales Farm, and hey, it's Sunday. With the event how it is now, it's actually easier to roll in a bit late, park in the back car park as that way we can park together. Also as the weather gets better we may do post event cruises for ice creams, fish n chips or beersies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Everyone should come! If anyone East or South would like to meet up we can meet at the Greenlane McDonalds carpark at 9.15 and we'll depart at 9:30 to meet the masses at Wairau Parts master. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Removed the offending part from the lada today. Hopefully I can get the broken stud out and everything back in for Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Sounds lovely. Yes it does. In for cruise/luncheon post event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi808 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, so it looks like rain on Sunday so could be the first washout. Good news is the West Coast will be pumping all weekend, so plenty of waves on offer instead. Will update surf report later in the week... It's early days, but coffee and cars does have this uncanny knack of being ok on the day despite heavy rain the night before etc. Also, next months C&C (September) will be the first one of the spring, so I will try and organise a nice little cruise for after that one. But if you are really really keen, I think C&C will be on even if it rains haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Don't say that. I got the broken stud out of the lada today so she will be ready to go for Sunday. Watch me go anyway wooo!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm all over it, rain, hail, or shine. This will realistically be my last chance to take mine for some months, really looking forward to it. Besides, the forecast this far out is still pretty variable, I'm hoping for a rainy Sat night and reasonable Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkoutnz Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I guess if it rains it means I wont have to wash the escort... Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi808 Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Colin sent me an e-mail confirming the presence of a mobile coffee cart. Also, those easterlies are picking up and swell is building out west. Looking good for the weekend.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
