EURON8 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Okey guys. After all the disscussion i reakon theres enough interest to get this thing rolling. (Puns are always intended) DATE: Sunday 11 September 2011 WHAT: Oldschool cruise from greenlane out to miranda hot pools and back WHEN: 10:00 - 10:30 am -- Meet at Greenlane McDonalds/Countdown. Get nibbles/brews (see below for brews) 11:00am -- Leave carpark and head towards miranda. We will head through clevedon/maretai etc etc. WHENEVER -- Arrive at hotpools for lunch and swim AFTER WHENEVER -- Leave Notes: Cruise - retep and/or toottoot - you guys sound familiar with this drive if you want to help me nut out the cruise route. - We will stop along the way at least once to regroup/let new cars that broke up the convoy GTFO/take some snaps Maps - Once cruise route is nutted out ill put directions together so if any gets lost or cruise gets to broken up. Will also include directions for quickest route back to Auckland from hot pools for thsse who need it. Hotpools - Deal is $20 for lunch and swim. Toottoot - Can you confirm all these and pass the info on to your contacts. What does lunch include? Hot pools are BYO amiright? so bring beers if ya lke. -Oldschool.co.nz does not condone drinkdriving in any way, so drivers behave! Have added poll so we get some idea of numbers. Dont have an OSride going? OS i a friendly bunch and i would have no issues jumping in a car of any of the cats ive met, so dont be shy, ask for a ride and lets see if we can get all OS rides and fill em up. Just remember a gas donation goes a long way. This should turn into a relatively cheap day out. And hope the weather is nice enough on the day. ok... go!

cletus Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 came back from coromandel today this way. took about an hour from miranda to clevedon. would imagine greenlane- clevedon via maraetai would be roughly 60min at O/S speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikewazowski Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Oh yeah, Hams guys should organise one from the other direction! Hopefully this occurs. I'd be keen to tag along and meet some Oldschool peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toot Toot Timmy Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Looking forward to this, took Toot Toot Timmy for a drive on the weekend and had fun, even if it needs 8,000rpm to get up a slight incline and the tyres operate in daylight savings time, should be a nice cruise. Was thinking this way would be best from Greenlane.. have lead it back to SH1 so people can get home. http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/44003096/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to try and get the wagon roadworthy for this....otherwise the sedan will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickity Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Tell editor you have to go to church - you can play hymns in your car on the way, and there will be wine and crackers no doubt. Jesus comes across as a cool enough guy in the stories (bad taste in friends though), pretty sure he would have been keen on your Charger. So it's all good.
