sidewaysickness

No problem at all!

I went out to an old workmates property today and talked Porsche with him. 

Good man!

Yup I'll be at Kohatu around 9 on Sunday... maybe a little earlier as the iced coffee has enticed me. 

Sounds like the grassy areas have become a swamp since the kaikoura quake so parking could be rather difficult.

As per last meet look out for the pogs bus, will probably be in the campsite somewhere.

See you guys there! 

@Willdat? @footey there will be spare seats available in the e30 or the bus with the pog

It would be nice if you can convoy with the other oldschoolers but each to their own.

Current forecast is 70% chance of rain on Saturday. 2% on Sunday...

I think Sunday is best as it opens it up to the people working Saturday. It's an early meet so that we can see the boats before those people leave and I'm kinda planning to be leaving by mid afternoon anyway. 

I am willing to change it if we get enough people voting Saturday.

Thoughts everyone? What day works for you?

Jump in with me if you want? 

Right! So as previously discussed our next meet will be at the Classic boat show at St Arnaud, be prepared for a whole different breed of Barrys.

It is on both Saturday and Sunday but I think Sunday will suit more people, its a fairly early meet and the plan is to meet at Kohatu junction at 9am and convoy out to the lakes.

Hopefully the Pog (President of the Tasman Bay Thermette Appreciation Society) can make it in the mobile regional headquarters. I think every meet nationwide should have at least one bus as its really proved to be extremely handy! 

See all you fellahs and fellahess's there!!

Fiat 124 sport on dirty south car club. He's asking  $1900 for a rusty dereg car. Does have the duel carbs too

Now that's a fun wee car! Unless you want to stick to fwd

So I'll be along in The pogs super snipe, and he will try his best to get the bus into the grounds, Just say it's for sale or something. 

Even if the Civilian is out in the carpark it will make for a great spot to meet everyone at/possibly a dry place to chill also. It's fully equipped with cooking facilities so we can still wrangle up a bbq... of some sort. 

So for those who don't know, this is the said bus

See you guys there!

I'll probably get there around 9. Bad news is that my dad took the bbq that he gave me so now I'm bbqless. Can someone bring one along? 

We don't have a site booked like last year but I'll probably set up camp somewhere under the shade of the shelter belt.  

A mate of mine is selling his 1999 Tahoe. Except it's got the 5.7l v8.

Message me if you're interested and I'll get you in touch with him

Marahau pog, Marahau. I'm sure you put that in especially for me. 

Great work with the thermette though!

I'm doing firewood today but will most likely pop in tomorrow

Hey there Andy. Good to see you're still about. Is your 1300 a white one? I saw a white one ragging it (as fast as it could) past our place a few weeks ago. Made me giggle.

I did this in a Evo 6.5 and you told me off  Mind you I know it's not British, and I know the rules now haha.

Don't forget about the flue that's yours, stop in anytime you 2 are near Brightwater. Otherwise I could bring it to the next meet, I'll cut a hole in the e30 roof so that it will look like I have a fat stack.

4th and 5th of March

I also have a 94 gtr... in black, and has a R34 engine fitted.

 Has yours also got "super hicas"? Basically it allows for a certain amount of drift before bringing the power forward and steering the rear wheels. 

As for the boost, as soon as you remove the boost restrictor Nissan say the turbos become an item that needs to be checked and serviced. It will be only a matter of time before you find the exhaust turbine in your muffler, it's generally the rear turbo that goes as it runs slightly hotter than the front.

It's such a fucking cunt of a job to do also!! Trust me! If I had to do it again I would drop the complete subframe for access.

I fitted a steel shaft/turbine/compressor  kit from oz, got them balanced and it's now running 16psi just fine with no noticeable lag from going to steel internals.

I found the hardest part of driving it aggressively is the fact that you need to enter the corner with the throttle open for the hicas to operate (if fitted). It's kinda scary when you're already hauling ass but try it once you're comfortable with the car and you will be greatly rewarded!

Fine choice of automobile!

It's ok. I have plenty of lubricant 

Motorboating all day with you Alex sounds like great fun! 

There is actually a class for seagull racing! 

Let's do this!

Oh yes it's definitely worth going. Actually I noted last time I passed through that there is a classic boat museum in St Arnund that I need to check out sometime.

I've penciled our March meet in for the classic boats.

I'm definitely keen on the classic boats, missed out last year but been to quite a few now. 

So Pohara bowls club for April meet?

Right so our next meet will be at the Nelson vintage swap meet at the speedway.

Saturday 18th February

I will be there from around 9am to scrounge around the place/ laugh at grown men hustling to get the bargains. BBQ will be fired up around 12 so bring along something to throw on. 

I'll ring the organizers about cars for sale, hopefully they don't charge for that (and it's a good way to smuggle in the BBQ)

Does anyone have a marquee I could borrow? Or even a large umbrella as it can get bloody hot out there.

I don't have anything to sell this time round but I don't mind sorting out a site if there's a few of you wanting to sell some shit? 

Otherwise I'll just bring in my bbq and we meet at a certain time under the shade of the shelter belt
