I found the best way was to drop in and have a yarn. Leave whatever with him and go back a week or so later.

Yeah I went to Howats.

Was reasonably priced - got him to set up a new CWP and LSD centre, fitted new bearings etc. 

Something wasn't quite right first time around so he put it right at his cost with no dramas.

Would recommend.

Why not fix it and drive it?

Sheepers you put too many photos on each page. Too slow to load.

PS your car looks fucking choice and I concur with the others in that you are making very rapid progress on this thing. I wish I had motivation like you.

Ha, I was there until about 3 hours ago.

/ling post.

I'm double booked again.  Will try to make it, but who knows.

If I do then I'll be in newschool daily and a suit, won't stand out at all...

To maintain my auckland vs wellington meet attendance ratios I'm not going to be attending this.

/actually double booked sorry

Good to see everyone again, sorry I didn't have more yarns as I was a bit preoccupied with some other stuff going on, but what a great night for fish and chips on the beach!

Thanks KK for excellent V8 taxi service complete with horn blowing and fist waving (or was it finger waving?) at other motorists who couldn't drive properly.

Geoff, do you make it to more Wellington meets than Auckland ones?

Since moving I believe I have been to more Auckland ones, just.

Yes and yes.

I see the inside of a lot of aeroplanes.

My plans have turned into a 9.20pm flight out of Wellington.

Guess that means I might be able to make this meet.

Thanks!  I'll see what my plans turn into.

I may be able to attend this!  Need to be in Wellington for work that day, might be able to get late flight home (i.e. last flight of the night).

Shame it's all the way up in Plimmerton.

Nah its all good. I'm just stirring.

I just had in my mind it was Thursday and so have missed out. My loss. I didn't even have anything else on Weds.

I had every intention of coming to this but keep thinking they are on Thursdays.

Hence why I've missed the last couple. Damn it.

Please can you change you system to be more like the system from where I come from, which is on the more logical and reasonable Thursday night.

Was going to buy the Sky thing, but only just got home now.  What lap are they up to?

The Ustream thing seems to be working adequately for the time being.

Why has no-one suggested a 2E Corolla?

Best daily ever, super cheap and reliable.

Loads of fun, can be driven at 100% all day, everywhere.

Hey can I come to this one?

I promise not to judge and compare with the Wellington meets which have so far been pretty rad.

It was good to show Geoff the documentary on Auckland traffic before he moves there.

Look, if I can drive a supercharged V8 interceptor and blow shit up on the Auckland motorway I will be a very happy motorist.

Good meet, good movie.

Will be my last Welly meet for a while, but may have to be in town for next year's annual movie night for more terrible special effects and mass destruction of cars.

Or Central Metals (might have changed their name) in Hastings.  9 Chatham Rd, they cut to length if you only want a small amount.

+1 these guys are great to deal with.

Assume you've tried all the usual suspects - Smith and Smith, Novus, etc?

I believe HC Vivas are unique with their glass, whereas the earlier HB is compatible with HB/TA/LC/LJ Torana and I think front and rear screens are interchangeable making them easier to source.

I have paid some money.  Not entirely sure if I'll get there depending on my travels.

Mine might be a +1
