The cheesy grin was after finding out the twin lambs were both ewes... rams are pretty much useless apart from eatting/selling!

This is Brandi, she'll be available for bigger kids and adults to have a ride... Will upload more of the actual Party Ponies and Lollie the Unicorn when Photobucket stops being a bumhole!

Not really car related but my wife is putting on an open day to promote her pony party business www.neighponyparties.co.nz Somewhere back in this thread we were talking about having a family day... this could be a kickstart for a summer packed full of good old family fun with like minded GC's... There will be free pony rides so I thought it was a good opportunity to meet some other oldschoolers with short people and others young at heart. We will be opening up a paddock for parking so I also thought it could be a sneaky little park up.... bring your niece or nephew, son, daughter, neighbour kid (ask first) etc etc... feed the animals, bring some coins for a sausage sizzle and we are trying to arrange a mobile coffee kiosk and icecream van (that again you'll need to pay for) bring a picnic and a blanket and let the kids run wild in our yard which has been described by our friends as a kids paradise... and also there will no doubt be some other fun things for littlies... will announce as we think of them! Anyway being a family day it isn't the usual crazytim BYOG and get krunk and set FIRES type of event although you won't be asked to leave for having a few quiets on a sunday arvo with your mates. I however will be on my best behaviour : ( lol The Open Day will be running from 11am-3pm at our place Thunderhoof Ranch 67 Muriwai Valley Rd Any profits made on the day from sausage sizzle and any donations made in donation box will be going to assist a very sick little girl and her mum get to the UK for a bowel replacement surgery (link below) Poor kid has battled all her life, is an awesome cause. www.madisonmerrick.org.nz or https://www.facebook.com/#!/MadisonMerrickNZ?fref=ts If anyone has any ideas for additional fun stuff we can do on the cheap or is interested in helping us out for a bit on the day holler out! Will post a bunch of pics of the animals and so on... need to upload them to photobucket first! Hope to see some of you there!

Good luck with this bro, biggest fear of mine aye... other cunts driving

Saw this at the engine shop... they are pretty spendy there. Was a real beauty too have car there and they had some tasty vehicles onsite!

Welcome back... ain't no Torrie but old and weird ticks at least two boxes

All good man. Will you be needing accommodation? I had a chat with Rod the other day, they are flat out enlarging the pit area but nonetheless less keen to accompany the cruise. I'm planning on wagoneering in my panno maaaaate... so whatever the charge for vehicle sleeping is and if I'm that flat broke will sneak in for drinkys and sleep in car at beach after (was walking distance was it not?)

Im broke as fuck but going no matter what... still havnt regd sorry karl but will be there in the newly painted red gem of doom (which still isnt finished ; )

yaya exciting... only what 5 weeks away?

Out in the sun- engine bay done just needs a polish will be reassembling today! Plating looks against the paint (black zinced bonnet spring) Cheers to Rigg Electroplating!

not me... still a slave to the spray gun, learning lots. Will be worth all the extra time I have spent in prep will hopefully make for a sweeter end result. Next month I shall be there with newly prettied up Gemini : )

haha don't know if wifey coming yet... don't know which car I'll bring... really just don't know... bit like this guy:

Head is at West Auckland Engine Reconditioners. $450+gst which is poo but had to take two heads in as first was cracked. @nd one had worn exhaust guides so price incl sorting those and pressure test, strip x2, cleanx2, bead blast head and intake mani, reassemble etc. Grill is at the Grill and Bumper Exchange in Glenfield getting a crack sorted. Got a bucket of bits Black Zinced bolts/brackets etc... look all good and will look great against the new paint. Heading back now for MOAR!!! Still need to desperately purchase side mirrors, lowering springs, oil/fluids/filters etc etc etc and other stuff that has been forgot. CANT WAIT!

Photo Dump time: Metal flake under the flash on my cell camera... gana look so sweet in the summer sun!!! Note Pic# 2 of photo dump.... has Escort Van roof mocked up for future Gemini Panelvan project... virtually a perfect fit, my man Tristan reckons it will be easy peasy!

My red gem is receiving the treatment at the mo nedmond...pushing poop up hill for it to be all go next week... struck rust but tristan is allover it

Hahaha so nice you refrained. But I'll let you off. Lol I'm an interested party for somewhere to party (I mean sleep)

Private party... so where are the rowdy OS'ers stayin at?

biggest problem will be deciding which T car to drive... maybe rego/wof and gremlins will decide for me! PS Snoozy Poo... will def want in on some form of overnight accomodations... where were yal thinking?

Congratulations! I had beans on toast for breakfast this morning. It was yum.

Oh yeah me +1! (birthday weekend, excited muchly!)

may have a freshly painted car (on skyscraper suspension) if we can pull it all off on schedule... will make a spirited attempt to attend...

Completely normal to own several variants of the same car- anyone who tells you it isn't is LYING! : ) Love the Vauxhallness of your posts, subscribed!

So... have just paid most of the bill in advance to have this thing painted. Will be going into a paint supplier to pick colour tomorrow. Excited much I am! It is going to recieve panel van panels over rear side windows and chrome front and rear bars and ASAP some lowering springs and sweeter wheels... CANT WAIT!

I miss you chaps/chapettes so will be making an effort... xo

Wow... havn't updated this for a-g-e-s... it is driven daily by my worker. Not much has changed... needs head replaced ASAP as 2 of the spark plugs have reamed their threads, have spare just need to get it checked and tidied up. The rusty red gem pictured here: has been exchanged for a years worth of tattoo sittings which I have already done 3 decent sized pieces on my right arm over 6 sittings... Anyway plan for my red Uber Clean wagon: Repaint As soon as I can spare the funds! Looking at a nice candy red of some description, shade hasn't been decided. The back side windows will also be paneled over. I did indeed steal the chrome bumpers from the tattoo wagon before making deal with him... so the end caps will be restored, new filler strips front and back sourced (or likely made) Needs low... this will wait for paint first though before any money gets spent on it, unless it is to keep the thing on road! Wheels, the wide steels I picked up that are currently on green wagon will likely end up residing on this. Will not be able to go any lower than green wag though as I discovered last night it scrapes on judder bars Anyway I'm hoping I can get this painted in next few months, been sayingf it for ages but it is a fucking terrible representation for my business!!!
