Cromwell Car show is coming up soon!

Who’s coming?

Thanks for posting up the build log. Love the detail to go with the pictures.

I was also impressed with the interior paint job. Love a red coupe with a black interior!

Rad! Will be following along with interest!

I assume you are converting this to a 13b? (Sorry, inside joke)

4&R Nats died when it became more about money than cars.

Then the quality of cars that went got worse. So it died a bit more.

There are way better run events around now.

Sweet! Remember there is a cruise in the Friday night too.

Okay, time got away from me on this so it looks like it’s a new year catch up.

Anyone planning on coming up to the Cromwell Car show on the 22nd January?

What was the issue in the end and did you get it sorted?

Ouch…

The university of Auckland used to sell careless day stickers that said ‘Yesterday’

iPad Airs are designed to work like a laptop, as in you can actually use them for work. I love mine.

But the extra cost really isn’t needed if you are just going to use social media and stream content. Standard iPad will work a treat.

Is this the sedan that dude found out in the desert?

EDIT: Does look like it:

I’d been keen for nangs around the Maniototo with maybe a pub lunch?

Who’s keen for a pre Christmas hoon? Is Satdee better for everyone or Sundee?

Okay team, as the title says. Who’s around and who’s keen?

The Cromwell car show is on in January. Or we could meet up and do lunch sometime? Cruise?

But let’s start with a roll call…

The Barry in me had to car jam that to see if it was real or not.

Kiwiplates are a bunch of  *****

I bought plates for my C230 laurel and they didn't fit the JDM plate sized space on the rear so I cut the ends off one.

Less than 6 months later, they brought out JDM specific sized plates.

So I hit em up. I argued the hell out of it. They offered me 10% off the $179.00 to "restyle" big woop!

Now they have black plates. I won't go black cause JDM never had black plates anyway.

 

I ordered my jap plate and paid, then got told they can’t make plates as rego on hold. 2 weeks later they released jap sized plates.

Annoyed, I rang and pointed out that 1: wouldn’t have bought a plate if I new about the hold thing. 2: if I did order, now I could have gotten the proper jap size.

Got the same response. Tough titties, 10% off restyling my plates I still haven’t had made.

Could you swap it for an RX3 one? You can buy repros of those new.

Have you tried Retro Automotive?

Just came here to post this!

They did a skid

No guarantee that an off the shelf product would work even if you could find one.

At least with Cable Barry you know that if anything needs a tweak he will be only to happy to sort it out. Might chat to them about my clutch cable. I’ll say the Fiat Pest sent me.

I love that the cable Barry is keeping you updated with what going on. Makes you feel like they care about your cable and that it’s fit for purpose.
