Oh man, this is so rad. Are you going to make it into a camper surf mobile?

I have a chat to dad about getting paperwork sorted. He manages to get all his old bikes back in the system, so there is hope.

 I messaged him a while ago and said if he got it wof/reg’d I’d buy it (not really, was just testing)

He said if did it the price would go up. I said I’m fine with that, but want to drive home legally.

Never got back to me.

That’s why I am so sure it’s suspect. “Just needs a cert, but will never get one”

There are a few sedans, not sure how many wagons.

As for that wagon above, I’ve always wondered why the guy doesn’t get it road legal.

There were rumours before he got it that all the fabrication of the firewall and trans tunnel would need certifications etc and that it would basically need to be stripped back to bare metal for that.

It was for sale for ages then old mate got it as a shop car, obviously pent a lot of money on it so why not finish it.

if it had a Wof, Reg surely at 60k it’s an okay spend.

There is a few pests in Dunedin too. So bring a Rolla.

Spotted, but I don't think its been left to rot. But its been here for a while

@kyteler Looks like a Prince?

A few of us up in Central Otago too.

Bring a Rolla.

@kiwi808 Whats the go with this for a single day visit? can you just rock up on the day and put your car in or do you have to pre register? Might come up for a day trip not sure yet

I don’t think you can enter for just a day. I think it’s a set up Friday take home Sunday night deal. But you could email them a check. They might have a day paddock?

It’s worth coming up for a day to check it out. There is so much to see and so many demos

Buying cars as an investment seems like way more fun than buying shares. It’s why after the GFC classic car sales went up. People liked looking in the garage and seeing their investment as opposed to looking at a computer screen.

There have been lots of articles written about it too. Google is your friend.

The golden rule here is to buy something that will appeal to a wide market.

Rotaries are going up in value, but might not have the same appeal as a Holden, Valiant or Ford.

The market in NZ is much smaller, which I think makes it riskier.

A good clean FC might be a good buy. They are still under $50k. (Couple of okay ones for $35k but will require rebuilds as per standard rotary ownership)
Good clean Batty’s are $50k which is a big chunk of change.

My money Is on Rotary Bongo Vans.

wow my fc made the cut, only decided to take this on the Wednesday before RE as the rx2 wasn't quite ready, so had some issues as its been sitting since 2006.

Can I ask what size wheels and offset they are?

STALL!

Nice! I like the coupes, they have some good lines.

Will grab some popcorn and follow along for the ride.

So this will be the second running of this event and promises to be a great day out for everyone and every barry.

I hope to have all 3 Mazdas on Display.

Be cooooool to have a few more people come and play.

Not an expert here, but I get the feeling if you offer even a small token amount, even if just trying to be a GC, an adjudicator might see that as an admission of liability.

Id go with not paying unless a person with authority orders you to pay.

Even if you did cook it, and suspected you did, the new buyer is supposed to do their due diligence. If they didn’t have a pre purchase expectation done, then there is no proof it was cooked before he bought it.

You also have no idea what he did since purchasing or how it was treated.

+1 for Ctek chargers. 

Okay, should we do a sweepstake on how many cars have Titans?

My FC won’t be ready in time... 

Weather is looking good!

Then we can rinse and repeat!!!

Sooo good that this is starting.

12 slots and eagers first up please.

Also, I’m off to visit dad soon so I’ll see what Cleveland buts I can pilfer.

@Toddy415 I’m still on annual leave if you want to come around on Friday for a car wash.

I’ll be doing the cruise on the Friday night, but can’t do the show on the Saturday.

@TimShadboltfan27 is a major pest on Social Media.

Bronze looks cool. But I’ve always wanted good wheels (think Simmons V4’s). Silver would be my last pick. But as mention above would look good with the Targa top
