@TimShadboltfan27 plz come on 2 wheels.

So I think there will be Me- paj @JustHarry- 78 @Mof- 71 @00quattro00- deefer @Slacker_Sam.- disco Willie- paj My mate Tom who's not on OS is keen to bring his L200 too. I think there will be 16 of us all up so far. More room in vehicles for others but yeah accom wise we're at the limit with cabins but they did say they can put extra mattresses in there and whatnot, also tent sites too.

Just confirmed numbers as 15 with the campground. They can throw a couple extra beds in the rooms and mattresses as well to cover everyone. Gotta bring your own bedding (sleeping bag and pillow would be fine I'm sure) It's $20 bucks a night per person, so $60 for all 3 nights each. So fucking cheap

There is also tenting sites as well if you're that way inclined.

Ahhhh so I think we're on max capacity now for the cabins. Filled them up pretty easy, so if anyone else other than who's registered interest in here wants to come, you'll either have to organise your own accom, or bring a mattress to plop on the floor of one of the cabins haha.

Tail end of summer, in the top of the south, camping would be perfect.

It is a fair way up the valley but could be sweet. Not a hell of a lot in the city centre really.

Maitai campground in Nelson? Could be too far out the way for pissing up at the sprig and fern though.

What does it actually cost? Should probs get my learners at some point before this. Do you have to supply a bike for that ride-around-in-a-tennis-court test or do they have bikes there for it?

1000000% in with a grin, can't fuckin wait.

Yeah, much more affordable that spending a weekend in Cromwell...

He didn't say a price, but was like "gimme a call when you have exact numbers and we'll sort out a price, it won't be much" so yeah I'd say we'll get a group discount. But yeah they're cheap as fuck haha. Omg yes plz that would be brilliant.

So I booked accom today at reefton motor camp. 4 cabins booked in total, there wasn't a lot left so just booked what they had which consist of: Cabin 1: double bed (me and the missus will grab one of these ones Cabin 2: double bed. Cabin 3: 2 bunk beds and 1 single bed. Cabin 4: double bed and 3 single beds. So all up should be able to sleep 13-14 people.

And a terrano

My mate Tom is also keen to join with his L200, willie may also come along with his paj @Mof, and trying to convince my mate joey to bring his 80 series along too.

He has no say in this.

Do it. This will be way more fun/serene/cheaper.

I think the general plan is to do tracks that most vehicles are capable of so everyone can make it home, with the option of some gnarly stuff on the side if people are keen to break shit etc.

@NickJ just bail on datsun nats, nobody is going anyway haha.

Doooooooo it. Will be a great weekend.

As some of you may have seen, there has been talk of a trip to the west coast over labour weekend. So @Mof and I decided to do an actual thread for the trip. The plan is, Friday 23rd: head up to reefton, settle into camp, the plan is to stay at the reefton motor camp. I'll probably take a half day off work and me and the middy will meander up there at some point. Sat 24th: Head up westport ways and do the denniston to lyell track, check out some sweet old mining relics etc. Aiming to leave 9am, so if anyone can't make it up for the Friday then that's the time you'll need to be there on sat. Then I guess just mosey back to the pub and whatnot for dinner. Sun 25th: Not 100% sure on what tracks we are gonna do yet but will be staying around the reefton area I believe, the plan is to either do green hut or petrol Hill, and Napoleon Hill maybe. But this is subject to change. Monday 26th: Head down greymouth ways and in behind shantytown to Noname Rd, which will bring us out to kumara, then head back over Arthur's and home to chch, cry that we have to go to work the next day etc etc. The plan is to do tracks that most trucks will be capable of doing so most people can come along. All together as a team sort of thing. Basic shit like proper recovery points, half decent tyres etc would make it a little easier if possible. If people are keen, would be good to know ASAP so we can book the motor camp and give them numbers. Don't have a truck but still wanna join in? I'm sure a few of us will have spare seats if anyone else wants to come along.

Nanged it up to Hanmer for the official unofficial Hanmer meet, was a laugh going up Jack's pass 4 up in it, spent a lot of time dodging potholes and other rough road issues haha. Didn't skip a beat all weekend! Such a great little car, love this thing much more than I should haha.

Went down for a wof this morning. Failed on right steering rack boot which I was stoked with, no notes or anything else yes boi. Split boot off. Woop woop. Gave it a clean, excuse the rake, has wof springs in the rear, courtesy of thieving them from @datto_610s wag haha.

Haha awesome, this is the first one of these I've seen, most are just nz new GL, GLX or 4wd ones. Yeah it's a lovely little car, Just don't expect it to get anywhere fast.

Excellent, always looking for more bits/complete cars haha
