Right so I've been thinking I should probably give up the area rep title, I'm working 56hr weeks in shit reception/data areas and really don't have the time to sort out these meets etc I'll still try to make it to meets and cruises and other oldschool activities. So I guess this post is asking anyone if they're interested? @yoeddynz You have always been the best at organizing all this!! Keen?

This is most excellent news! I'm always keen on a catch up with you Sam, you also picked a week that I'm working in Brightwater and not Blenheim so that's good. I usually knock off at 3pm so there is a couple of hours that I'll be available for a beverage or 2. I shall pm you my number old chap. As for the meets I must apologize for my slackness, new job has been taking a lot of my focus. I'm really only available for weekend's now as I don't know where I'm working for each week. How about we organize a end of year type thing? Bbq at Rabbit island maybe? Any thoughts or ideas are welcome!

I have a Bee-R Rev limiter that I can sell you? Does everything you are asking and has adjustable gain so you can adjust how hard or soft it limits. Surely it could be modded to work? I can confirm it creates savage backfires/flames/lolz

Alright so our next meet will be Thursday the 31st of August. 6pm at the good old moutere inn. I must say the location seems to be working out quite well, it really is a great little pub. I will try to get some photos now that there's a little more sunlight in the day. Oldschool Nelson has also been asked if we would like to do a meet with the Nelson Car Club at a motorkahna or grasskahna event. A few of us have been to a couple of these events and its great fun! So whats the general consensus on this? Are you guys and girls interested in hooning your oldschool car? or any car/work truck for that matter.

The whiskey for tonight is Talisker Dark Storm, The colour is golden amber and the nose has an instant interesting mix of rich, earthy smokiness (this is reminiscent of coal tar soap or freshly laid tarmac), bittersweet malty cereals and barley sugar. The smoke catches the nostrils and has a peppery chili-like edge to it. As these aromas fade a little, others come through - think of vanilla, honeycomb, caramel, fresh green apple, sultanas and a hint of candied orange and brine. On the palate, this is initially quite acrid and slightly bitter with a woody, almost charcoal-like edge. the result is drying and the similar peppery chili note from the nose exaggerates this. These notes are again reminiscent of hot tar, as on the nose, and wet earth. After this first blast, the whisky develops in an interesting way and just in time too. Some much needed sweetness comes through in the form of butterscotch, vanilla, golden syrup, malted barley plus some dried fruits (think especially of raisins, sultanas, candied orange and apricots). Two lovely notes appear towards the end and work well hand in hand with the others present - salted caramel and toasted nuts. A final sprinkle of earthy ginger powder completes the jigsaw. The finish is long and smoulders away for ages. The initial sweetness (the barley, honey, syrup and fruit) fade first, followed by the notes of salted caramel and toasted nuts. It is the warming, acrid and spicy smoke that lasts longest. This has an ultimately drying effect, which makes you want to reach for a sip of water or another sip of the whisky. Haha these reviews always crack me up! See you all tonight
