Thought I had better throw these on. The tram barns are accessed off Bridle Path road at the Ferry Rd end. I'll be there at 7 to open the gate, drive in and find a spot to park either up on the grass or hiding in amongst the buses.

Okay, I'm going to lock it in for Thursday night....I thought there was a smidgen of hope there for a minute or so that Wednesday was going to work out, but the forecast is incredibly changeable. Top paragraph changed accordingly.

Its been pointed out to me that the long range forecast for Wednesday is a bit shit....would it stew anyones noodles if we changed to Thursday?

I can confirm there will be limited Barrys in attendance.....unless you bring your own.

Hi Guys, I've managed to tee up a visit to the Tramway Historical Societies tram barns at Bridle Path Road at Ferrymead for any interested OSGC's. The evening will definitely include a dig around in the sheds to see what we can find (Oh look! Another old tram!) but if there is any interest we can extend it to include a BYO BBQ, a look around the bus collection and taking one of the trams for a bit of a hoon. I'm suggesting we do this Thursday the 21st of January with gates opening around 7ish. I realise It would be great to do it in the weekend but we'd have to fit around everyone else in the park and that would be a tad awkward. Please let me know if you want the BBQ on or if a different day/date suits everyone better and I'll start getting things arranged. Ev.

Fuck thats a sucky install..... Let me try and work through it.

Are you able to point us to a web page that has the docos that came with the TP-Link? Or let us know what model it is? I'm keen to see what they expect you to do.

Keen....soldering and beer, what could possibly go wrong.

But seriously, I've always been a fan of the Mk I styling over the MK II. I'm sure its possible to retrofit the panels (Karl even knows where we could find some) but would it really be worth the effort/time/repaint and would we have to re-cert it anyway?

Maybe we turn it into a Drift Pig.....

....or call me a loser....or something.

You all know how bad Karl is, right......he's like a crack dealer for old car people, always knowing what your weak spot is..... The vehicle in question has already featured elsewhere on this forum, I had made slightly unseemly noises towards the owner that could only really be described as "Car Fapping" (Cor, its gorgeous, lovely,etc <eyes roll back>) so when he announced he wanted to sell it I was a pretty easy mark. When I was a teenager these things were the schiznit; a friend droves his parents white Mk I and we called it "The Space Shuttle" cos it really looked like something out of Nasa. Telecom had a whole fleet of them. They were the biggest selling car in NZ for a few months at one stage. A days work at "Honest Jesses Used Mitsubishi Repair Depot" had her looking mint although I will still need some of Harrys labour to fill in a few holes. Sure, she is a MkII from 1988 and has the slush box attached to the 2.0 Pinto rather than the manly 5 speed that every man and his dog lusts after, but she runs like an absolute tank. She has been my daily driver for ages and has taken me everywhere...... We did Cromwell 2 weeks ago (via Dunedin and Roxburgh, then home over the Lindis) and this weekend she took me and the bride to Dunedin for the long weekend, eventually clocking up 890k over 4 days. There are a few ideas on what to do next on her (Karl definitely has a few) but the biggest problem at the moment is trying to find a spare week or so when I dont need her for it to happen!

Sure, but you wont be able to park it in the driveway....

Agreed........should have stayed longer, but being a school night and all....

Lots to do between now and then unfortunately....

@h4nd and I are debating whether to ride share in the Dai or the Sierra.... Max outrage points either way.

Meetup at @DoBro Jesus and then convoy over?

So bringing them on trailers is an option?

Hire one off @DoBro Jesus

Top marks on getting a CG13 one....did a bit of looking ages ago, they go quite easily into a mini.

I'll bring the Sierra. Which technically means I'll be walking from about Woolston.
