    Leadfoot Festival 2020

    in Upper North Island Region

    Posted

    Late to the party but here's the Leadfoot thread

    That time of year again so save the dates, book your sick leave, and book accommodation early as it always sells out!

    Leadfoot Festival

    8th and 9th February 2020

    280 Link Road, Hahei 3591, somewhere just outside of Whitianga but really just in the middle of nowhere

    Same details as every other year. 1 mile hillclimb event which brings in some of the best drivers from over the world, a few sponsors with some cars, and thousands of people. And also the carpark gets pretty full so bring your OS car for reserved parking (let's face it, this reserved parking area is probably the main attraction).

    volunteer spots just opened up on their website, yep OS have visited & my 2 weeks there as a volunteer for the event is an experience I will never forget

    would highly recommend, have you ever been invited to Rod's mine shaft (wine celler) for a BBQ with his guests? I have :P 

    I second this. Highly recommend volunteering. Next year will be my 3rd time volunteering - I'm in charge of social media over the weekend which should be epic again. Hospitality by the Millen's is always on point. Apply, bring a tent (sites usually provided free of charge at the campground), a few boxes and you're away laughing with all the other gc volunteers

     

     

    Always drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive

    Also slightly before Wagnats which means roadtrip of epic proportions?

    Open pits to talk to every Barry in the country

     

    Top tip - buy tickets online rather than at the gate

    Всем спасибо!Апгрейд удался.Информация с вашего форума была очень кстати.

      Прошу прощения за нецензурную лексику в предыдущем сообщении-про наше правительство по другому не скажешь.

    Сложилось чёткое мнение(у меня) ,что люди нормальные в любой стране,а вот власть жаждет денег и насрать правителям  на граждан своей своей страны.

    And again in english

    Thank you all! Upgrade succeeded. Information from your forum was very handy.

    I apologize for the foul language in the previous message-about our government on another can not be said.

    There was a clear opinion (I have) that people are normal in any country, but the government wants money and shit rulers against the citizens of its own country

    Здравствуйте.Меня  зовут Александр.Живу в России.У меня нет бороды и шапки ушанки :-) ,и езжу не на медведях, а на : 1.PONTIAK TRANS SPORT 3.8V6

    2.Crysler Concord 3.5V6 :doubt:.    Прошу прощения за чёрный юмор ,но в моей стране живут обычные люди-симпатичные девушки и трезвые мужчины.В Голливудском кино всё несколько иначе,точнее совсем искажён образ русского человека.А вот правители наши суки редкостные. 

    По существу:    планирую внедрить 1UZ-FE(toyota)  на  Wolksvagen  Crafter(у нас очень низкое качество дизельного топлива,поэтому ставлю бензиновый двигатель и,подключаю газовое оборудование-эксплуатация намного дешевле получается). На этом сайте планирую скачать мануал подключения электрики;подсказали друзья из Португалии.

     

     

    and in english

     

    Hello. My name is Alexander. I live in Russia. I do not have a beard or a hat with earflaps :-), and I do not ride bears, but on: 1.PONTIAK TRANS SPORT 3.8V6

    2.Crysler Concord 3.5V6: doubt :. I apologize for the black humor, but in my country there live ordinary people-pretty girls and sober men. In Hollywood cinema, everything is somewhat different, more accurately the image of the Russian man is completely distorted. But our bitches are rare.

    In essence: I plan to introduce 1UZ-FE (toyota) on Wolksvagen Crafter (we have very low quality of diesel fuel, so I put petrol engine and connect gas equipment-operation is much cheaper). On this site I plan to download the electrical wiring manual, suggested by friends from Portugal.

    Who's going and wants to take charge of organising if everyone wants to park together??

     

    ***The Leadfoot Car Club parking area is designed for groups of 10 or more cars or motorcycles. You will need to arrive at Leadfoot at the same time to be guaranteed parking together. Each person in the car MUST have a Leadfoot Festival entry ticket for scanning to go into the Car Club area. If a passenger does not have a ticket they will need to get out of the car and purchase at the gate and meet the driver inside. If the driver does not have a ticket they will be asked to park elsewhere.***

    Looks like they've opened up an area designed for car clubs to park together. I helped with parking at Leadfoot this year and so many people wanted to park next to each other but due to the layout it couldn't be guaranteed, so this seems like a good idea. Maybe gauge some interest around OS to see who's going etc then someone fill the form in so everyone can park next to each other.

    Wheels on Windsor 2017 - Hastings CANCELLED

     WHEELS ON WINDSOR MARCH 12TH 2017

    Wheels on Windsor was a huge success in 2016 now let's see what we can do in 2017.

    Sunday 12th March 2017

    Book your accommodation NOW.  In 2017, WOW is on the last day of the Horse of the Year Show in Hastings.  Come to sunny Hastings, make a weekend of it. Windsor Park is the perfect place to hold a car show.  Plenty of trees for shade, plenty of sunshine to show off your car, good coffee and food available for purchase and a huge amount of prizes to be won throughout the day.

     

    Last year attracted somewhere around 400 cars of all various makes and models. New and old (mostly old). Hosted by Hawke's Bay British and European Car Club - previous year's photos on their website. Only a $5 entry fee which goes to a good cause.

    are we going to be able to park inside like last year?

    would be super pissed to have to park outside and not even be able to take in a bottle of water. 

    Think I remember reading somewhere that you can't take water in but you can take a bottle in and fill up on site? Not 100% on that. And as for parking, Classic Cars (pre 1975) get designated parking, and the rest park where directed. As shown on the event map
