Went to the one back in 2017 and it was really good.

Is this accidentally happening in October too?

Yes!

So glad this is a thing again!

Now for that pesky WOF and Rego situation...

Just saw this up on Trademe, good luck with the sale, sad to see it moving on. 

I've been enjoying following the build, beautiful car.

Get ready for the most oil leaked by the coast since the Rena!

I've copied the program from their website as follows:

THE 2018 PROGRAMME

Friday - Grahamstown Gathering - 9am to 1pm

Yes, we're heading back to Grahamstown for the Gathering and we're starting an hour earlier - Karl from the GBD Hotel has advised they'll be adding more music to the morning and a few other surprises.  We have also asked for a complete road closure to ensure safety for all involved.

Mystery Drives - 1pm to 4pm

Yes, not one but two mystery drives.  We have the "Ice Cream Run" and the "Train Ride". For those that wish to join us ona mystery drive, pay for and pick up a "Mystery Map" and head off from Grahamstown.  Clues will take you on one of two fantastic drives and conclude with an 'event'.  Price includes attraction ticket and/or a sweet treat!  Completed mystery drive maps will be put in to a draw by lot of a major prize.

Wimbledon Comes To Brits.  In past years we have held our official registrations at the Whangamata OCean Sports Club, however in summer this club is simply too busy to fit us in, so we approached the Whangamata Squash and Tennis Club to see if we could hold our registrations there and are delighted to advise we were approved by their committee.

So what do we intend to do?

Well, we'll run an early registration on Thursday and then the Official Registration and Welcome will be held on Friday 16th February from 5 to 8pm.  At the registration, we'll hold the Inaugural "Brits at the Beach One Set Championship" featuring two top amateur tennis players.  There's a fabulous viewing platform to watch this top tennis game.  Combined with the tennis we will also hold a "Brits High Tea" featuring the yummiest of finger foods and of course the best British Tea (or a beer or wine).  The high tea will be catered by Whangamata's top caterering company. We are still processing the cost but believe it will be between $15-$20.  Tickets only and those will be available on line shortly. So Friday is turning out to be a great day!  

Friday night we will be bringing back our "Brits Quiz" featuring loads of trivia and some great prizes. Venue to be confirmed, entry fee $5 per person, maximum team of 8 people.

Saturday - Grand Parade/Tairua Day Tripper/Tops Down Run/Cliff Richard Tribute, What a fantastic day, starting with marshalling of cars for the Grand Parade, followed by the Great British Village Fete, then we head North for the Tairua Day Tripper which is followed by our "Tops Down Soft Top Run" to a mystery destination, then it's back to Whangamata for the BIG SHOW - Cliff Richard & The Shadows Tribute Show at the Whangamata RSA.

We have taken your concerns and suggestions on board and have changed the timing of events for the big day. Marshalling will start at 8am, the Grand Parade at 9am, The Village Fete will now run from 10am to 1pm, Tairua Day Tripper from 1-30pm to 4pm and from there we will head off on our first "Soft Top Run" which will run from 4pm to 6pm.  Finally we'll all head down to the RSA for possibly the best show Whangamata will see all year!

Remember your registration fee gets you access to the Grand Parade/Village Fete and Tairua Daytripper. For owners of registered soft tops, the "Soft Top Run" is FREE!

Tickets for the Cliff Richard & Shadows Tribute (featuring NZ icon 'Shane') are selling really well, so if you want to go - go here to buy your tickets. Don't delay as we only have about 100 tickets left for this show.

SUNDAY 10am - 2pm

We will be having our usual "Bonnets Up Car Show" and mix it with a "Show and Shine" and a "Brits Bits Parts & Car Sale" This will run from 10am to 1pm and be followed with the "Brits Job Tour" presentation.  The Brits at the Beach Festival officially wraps up at 2pm. 

Now, if you like the programme for our first Summer Brits at the Beach, please help us spread the word by forwarding this newsletter to your car friends and family and of course, if you haven't already done so, please get registered today!

Umm not too sure how the P76 slipped in

237 cars registered, bound to be more that didn't fill out the form online.  Really looking forward to this

This weekend!

So this is getting pretty close

We're planning on driving down from Auckland on the Friday, anyone keen on a leaky cruise down?

@crazytim

Does it need to be at a Burgerfuel?  

Just thinking of spots with parking, there's the Cock n Bull (or whatever it's called now) in Lynfield which has a handful of restaurants around it.

Tonnes of parking at Westgate for 10 pin bowling, a foodcourt, or a game of pool? Also handy that it's just off the motorway

i havnt read this whole thread, but if any of you think that the electricity to power electric cars is going to stay cheap your fooling yourselfs. the energy giants arnt going to wake up one day and say, you know what, 80% of the world is now using electric vehicles and our earnings are down billions of dollars compared to the age of gas vehicles, but thats okay because we didnt get into this business for the money. 

Some creative ways of companies ensuring they get paid.

The Renault Twizzy is a 2 seater car that you can park just about anywhere and fully electric.

The cost of the car is reasonably cheap, but you have to rent the battery pack exclusively from Renault, any alternative battery voids the warranty and probably affects insurance
