Christchurch meets Discussion Thread.

[EpochNZ]

I think I've found the destination for the next OS Tram adventure.......Ferrymead has several working examples of telephone exchanges dating from the 1920's.  Lots of clanking spinning bits while you can prank call each other on rotary phones.

Barry level: infinite.

As much as this equipment piques my interest.. Did anything become of the oldschool ferrymead train inspection?

I think any OS trip to Ferrymead was waiting for Spring....so yes, we can sill organise that as well.

[JustHarry]

All going well i should have a new addition to the fleet to showcase on sunday

[DoBro Jesus]

Was hoping I'd have my v3000 back from the painters to bring along. But mirage wagon it is.

[governorsam]

Might be a bit wet this weekend 

[- i5oogt -]

i think we will make a call in the morning if this is to go ahead or not. 

[yoeddynz]

Just change your modes of transport to suit the conditions.....

[DoBro Jesus]

Beaut day for it..... 

NAAAAAAAAHHT.

See you animals in an hour.

[DoBro Jesus]

Yuuuuuuuge turnout with such a stellar day....

Good meet though. Lunch was grouse.

 

[igor]

The Mitsubishi boys seem to be dominating.

[DoBro Jesus]

Haha yeah. Then Aaron turned up in his v3000 to tip the scales even more.

[Bling]

Its that naturally occurring oil film on them that stops them rusting in the rain. Just had a bit too much on my plate / no OS car on the road right now. Decent turn out for the weather!

[ajg193]

I've never experienced a car that went from looking perfect to being completely rusted out faster than a Mitsubishi Tredia.

 

They say that by the time you can see the rust on them, it's too late

That sounds like a scary story you tell at a campfire with a torch under your chin  

[RUNAMUCK]

Hes right you know. 

They rust worse than KE70s/KB310s. (And those were turds for rust/in general)

[Valiant]

I'd never experienced a car that used so much petrol but was so slow until I owned a mitsubishi.

[Nominal]

I'd never had a car that broke down 1km from home and had to be flat-towed back by the AA man until I owned a mitsubishi.
