20th Jan, who's in?

On like Donkey Kong

3rd Wed of Dec is the 16th

Sorry all, the Rover is still out of action and Jake's skyline is down one headlight

Also it was an arse of a day

ooooh next week

Will the brakes and Rack End be sorted by then?  Not likely

I'll find a way to get there, may well be in dad-spec Previa

So the next meet is Wed 18th Nov?

Beach Hop the following weekend   

Caffeine and Classics? This Sunday

I think "goez hard 4 wot it iz" is a good description for last night

Small turnout but great sharns, great burgers and great machines

Going to do my best to make it to these more regularly and hope it picks up to it's former glory.  Good to know that even if it doesn't pack out it's still a really good night out

I'll be leaving Titirangi at around 7:30pm after the kids have collapsed.

Will be bringing the vitesse which desperatley needs a wash and a wof

can't wait

Does anyone have any OS stickers I could buy?
Not sure how it works on meet-lite

A few clubs have registered already

Does anyone want to organise OS there?

feeling under the weather so unlikely  

it's in about 2 weeks time though? 

Blinked and suddenly it's October.  Fingers crossed that COIVD steers clear for November

A pretty decent free car/bike show for all things British and European

Sunday 7th March 2021 (unless COVID kicks those plans in the balls too)

Is the 21st of October a go?

still no Vitesse for this one, but might be able to limp in with the old bmw I'm borrowing.

Coincidentally, can anyone recommend a good mechanic in/around West Auckland with good availability? 

The problem with the rover is that there's a crack on the firewall around where the clutch master cylinder is mounted, so when I put my foot on the clutch pedal the cylinder just dances about in the engine bay rather than being useful.  Must have weakened after 30+ years of slight movement.

Needs a bit of fabrication and welding for the firewall, and probably new seals for the slave/master cylinders.  But I cannae weld, and would more than likely do more damage than good if I had a run at it.  Was going to use Bygone Autos but they closed post COVID, and Fraser Autos across the road have a two month waitlist!

My number is 0275242506

Haven't signed in for a couple of months, awesome to see a decent turnout!

More incentive to get the Vitesse back on the road

Shit oops I really need to check in here more often 

Yep keen, also legal enough most of the time

I just realised @michaelme said Caffeine and Classics (Takapuna) rather than Caffeine & Gasoline (Hampton Downs). I was under the impression that some of OS already attended Caffeine and Classics fairly regularly? 

Hi, yep sorry I meant the Takapoontang variety.

Got out there after 10 (kids took about 3 years to get out the door) and there were plenty of cars on show, and surprisingly heaps of parking in the back carparks.

However no photos so didn't happen

Since we've lost Ellerslie, why don't we shoehorn a monthly meat into Caffeine and Classics?

Cruise in together park up, wander about?

I'm out. Covered a couple of night shifts and worked through today - pretty sure my eyes just dropped out of my face

Car is running, are the meats back up?
