Willdat?

Felix/Glenn, no pressure, but. You are the critical mass, that is all. edit: I'm sure you'll stay if it's at all possible...

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=33797 Far out, didn't realise you were doing dash on this too, looks awesome! What are the interior plans, camper, or many seats?

You need a perspex sheet in the floor to keep this visible!

Sweet as, little bro is almost definitely coming so he can stack a few bits and pieces in (note to self; stop drinking all my homebrew). Cheers for the offer of accommodation on Friday, plan is to get away early on Saturday. I reckon it will take 5 hours tops, but aiming for sub 4 hours. Haha, first year after uni my mrs(wife now!) lived in Queenstown. So every second week, 800 km after work on a Friday, back to Nelson on Sunday afternoon. Wore out 4 Goodyear NCT 5s in 8 weeks...

If it was still open i would be doing it through the Rainbow, so by state highway seems like a piece of piss. This bike was originally bought by a mate of mine to do the Dusty Butt 1000 in 24 hours (1000km with as much gravel as possible) http://www.db1k.com/ So 260km should be a walk in the park!

Did 60km today on the RMX just to see how it goes up hills on the open road. Managed an indicated 80km/h climbing over the top of Moutere Saddle, 105 km/h down the other side (I'd love to know how many revs that would be!) looking forward to it

ha- will be a epic little trip on that. Good effort. Your brother and his integra more than welcome (he sold his rb powered silva and bought an integra?!!) It was/is his wife's daily, red, auto, ~130kms and incredibly rough but economical and reliable. They're looking at buying land at the moment so tight budget wise but he will be super keen to go for a dive/surf...

Alex & Hannah in the Viva Felixx in the Angrybox Jeff on the CB Will on RMX 50 possibly my brother too, (but he'll have to park his POS Integra down the road)

Yeah Viva would make any would be haters swoon, done...

We went for a wander up to Waimarama on Sunday morning so had a little nosey past, no Hiace so I assume you guys were out, such a wicked spot.

Sounds grand, I know bugger all about the area so looking forward to it!

Been having a bit of a google, as far as I can see they're not keen on camping unless you're self contained, no nearby DOC camp sites, apart from this. http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recrea ... puhi-puhi/ ..and it pretty much fails the serious pre-requisite of fires being allowed. I'm wondering about contacting local camp grounds direct to see if they're keen to do a deal, but still, unlikely to be allowed fires. Girly option could be this...would probably be cheaper than tent sites even. http://www.bookabach.co.nz/baches-and-h ... a-district Food for thought, I'm hoping someone knows a paddock we could borrow...

Cheers Alex, I was gonna be a tough guy about it but I'll need ever bit of power I can over the Whangamoas...Will give you a box of homebrew also if that's ok?

Challenge accepted...leave pass approved also. I'm not sure if I'll need the ride back, will do a test run over to Mot in the coming weeks to see how it copes in a 100km/h area It's not physically a small bike, made in Spain, sold for $5500 in 2001, when the RG150 was $2995 and the FXR150 $3495 But the engine is very small

Silvia is now sold...being picked up today, so unless it falls through?! Kaikoura is probably doable on the RMX 50...would be a fun mission if I get away earlyish

Keen, although most definitely hitching...orrr 50 cc missioning...

Nah...another year of maternity leave instead... Could donate $ to petrol fund though...

Just this side of Wanaka...9 hours with a trailer...

Well done, that's some serious commitment!

I know someone who was doing similar work in the UK for the last 3 years. I've forwarded the advert onto him.

I wouldn't call it light blue myself, but yep that'll be the one, has been built up over 10 or so years. He's also the guy on the Smith and Smith glass adverts...

http://www.nelsoncarshow.com/2012-winners No mention of Alex...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =447143105 This hasn't come up in spot the classic in Blenheim has it? Not an Imp, but wife has said big boot = gooood Edit: Q&A mentions Kaikoura, so probably not....

With the 1500 I slipped in also they may suspect something...

True, there are at least 2-3 MG RV8s that are local that I've seen at shows before... Wonder what won/will win peoples choice?
