Reminds me of when my GP bought a new Monaro back in '02. The boys at church were all "cut the mufflers off so we can hear it" but he wouldn't cos he reckoned it would void the factory warranty.

Love the engraved cat logo.

But they are rated at one ton payload.

Do you need special pots and pans for use with an induction cooktop? Heard some stories that may or may not be complete bollocks.

Numberplate. Simon Templar, aka The Saint, drove a P1800.

Needs a plate that says ST1 then.

That's a big hell yes from me.

Sounds like a blast.

Might want to clean the windscreen first.

That's horrendous Harry, but also not surprising. All about the smiles per gallon though I guess.

Just done the fuel consumption calcs for the PULS8R over the weekend. Filled up in 'clutha Thursday night. Drove 1270km with three forty dollar petrol top ups (Timaru, Amberly, Washdyke) en route. Filled up again in 'clutha tonight. Total fuel used since Thursday 81.5 litres. Near enough to 6.4 litres per 100km / 44mpg. I'm very pleased with that. Disclaimerː All distances as measured on Googlemap due to an odometer that only works sometimes.

Perhaps a downward spiral of sorts.

...with a large emphasis on the word yet.

Got back home just now after a magnificent roast dinner and a very pleasant evening followed by an early night and a long sleep in a comfortable bed all courtesy of ajg193 and his lovely wife. Thanks to the organisers and all who turned up for an amazing weekend. Was great to catch up with folk I hadn't seen in five years. Hunterkiwi01 the way I figure it if a man is mature enough to ride into camp on a motorcycle, even if it is a moped, he's mature enough to have a beer with me. Go hard young man, the future is wide open.

Hot Pools – Our group booking is for 3pm, anyone who has paid for the pools or wants to go please meet at the hot pools entry for 3pm from Karl's email

Public service announcement for all those who haven't yet purchased supplies for the weekend.

This from Karl's email earlier today. There is going to be a convoy leaving Christchurch from the Peg pub in Belfast around 12.30/1pm. I intend leaving from South Otago about 0900. I suspect many of you will have a couple of drinks in by the time I get there.

I have a full box of Ranfurly so I should be right.

I polished a pair of Perths with parade gloss once. The boys at tech were all the time giving me shit about how shiny my Docs were so one day when we had a site visit I shined my gummies too.

But not the summer gummies with the extra holes.

True that Jesse. Bare feet ftw.

Weather forecast looks a bit shit. Yr - Hanmer Springs - Long term forecast

Now you're talking. What could possibly go wrong?

And some cans of corned beef.

I'm at least half prepared. Got an extra box of Ranfurly.
