Finally got around to walking in to Otaki Forks again

This time we just used the track across the slip, few wooden steps but no drama, then along the road. Only went as far as the old picnic area, which is now available for camping

Trabant innit?

I’ve seen it, it’s not as good as a Morris, but I like it.

So they can remember how to ride after all the head injuries?

Same setup as a Holden twin carb I suppose

Might be on a progressive linkage?

A couple of Otaki ones

I might have to get a "Not flash, but it will do" sticker made up for the bike, it seems to be a theme

Fixed that for you

Pretty keen, might need to borrow some terrible trash car from the wounders though.

Well done on getting it legal. That's a lot of work to get through in two years.

Even better is managing to hold on to the car for so long.

Why not two?

Now I know why it’s called HanMeat.

Does the second part apply to vehicles over 14 years of age?

1 year wofs on a classic car are a bad idea imo.

If your getting upset over a 60$ wof then don't own a classic car.

And if the upset is from needing repairs every 6 months then it shows the car actually needs work and isn't safe for 1 year so the 6 month is kinda doing its job 

But if jt passes who cares its probably the cheapest part of owning a classic car

It's the hassle factor more than anything.

What makes a 2000 car safer over a year than a 1999?

Nothing, that's what.

It's a stupid rule, but I don't expect a change.

Not going to happen.

Yeah, I don't have expectation of it getting better

You should get  up to 14 extra days:

Vested interests like the mta hate the 6 month wof and the 3 years on new cars so always push the other way.

Possibly the vcc lobbies for a shift to 1 year for all.

I think Neil surtees for surtees boats fame built that.

I wondered about that as it had a Surtees badge on it. Looked like a great job.
