Willdat? Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 You tell lies! You're a baggy wearer are you not? But if you do have Lycra then please wear it along to prove me wrong. But dont let them Tapawara folk see you or they'll make you scream like a pig..... http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/collections/lycra-shorts/products/exocets-nylon-lycra-premium-bike-shorts?variant=1640998915 Early birthday present - baggies will still work for when I'm in mixed company...

yoeddynz Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Looking forward to tomorrows run. Looks like we might be getting a good few cars along. Paul- is your Laser all good to go on a long run because this would be a nice run in type drive. Great news! Next meet after tomorrows Tapawara run will be to head up to the Nelson car club rally sprint up near Pigeon vally off from Wakefield. We plan to find a place somewhere out on the course, in the sun, and cheer the cars on. Maybe some small Mexican waves. Hopefully a good location will be found where we can get a bbq going and have some beers whilst fast cars race by peppering us all with gravel and dust to the smell of castrol. Speaking for myself but this sounds idyllic I have spoken to one fella from the club and hopefully they'll be getting a key for an access road halfway up so we can head in there. More details can be found here.. http://www.nelsoncarclub.co.nz/ EVENT DESCRIPTIONVenue: Dovedale Hill Road.Time: Event will start at 9:30am on Saturday 31st October 2015.Length: Approx 10kms long and is 100% gravel.

The Fastesttime from each direction will count towards the final result. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willdat? Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'll be Shuttling today as weekend of doom means I'll have to disappear after lunch. Looks like a mint day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks again everyone! Excellent roads for an excellent day! Since my car is on shed guard duty I was the car slut of the day and jumped into almost every car there. I loved the fact that out of the 8 cars we had along today, we didn't have a manufacturer double up. (I included Will's shuttle but he was kind enough to park it well away so he didn't steal the show) Pics 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It was indeed a really awesome meet today. Seriously really good. Thanks to those that came along and thanks to those that made the roads we drove on. The westbank road is always a fun road and was great today. I too played car slut and got to drive Tonys Fiat x19 which was fantastic. Such a sweet handling luttle car and way more refined than I ever remember having last driven one in 1994 before buying SC mr2. Then I experienced Dylans Humber. Wow. What can I say.... I don't know actually... ummm... Did you know it has picnic tables that fold down off the rear seats? Needs a steering rack conversion. Then I drove Jases Porsche 924 Turbo. Yeah man. Feels so solidly put together and nice handling. Sadly I missed the chance to drive the car of the day...Wills shuttle. Maybe next time if Im lucky. Looking forward to it. Once my steam powered internet connection heats up I'll load up a really exciting video of some cars going into a picnic area. Because that's how we roll down here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Ha - the Shuttle is so special it got mentioned twice without being featured in a photo - it also lugged me and 3 old folk up to the top of the Barnicoat range early afternoon. Cheers for the organisation guys - was cool to see a new road that is deserving of a revisit in something more deserving! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 So the next meet is to meet up and watch Nelson car club rally sprint up near Pigeon vally off from Wakefield. We plan to find a place somewhere out on the course, in the sun, and cheer the cars on. Maybe some small Mexican waves. Hopefully a good location will be found where we can get a bbq going and have some beers whilst fast cars race by peppering us all with gravel and dust to the smell of castrol. Speaking for myself but this sounds idyllic I have spoken to one fella from the club and hopefully they'll be getting a key for an access road halfway up so we can head in there. We checked out the course last weekend and couldn't find a place to park along it but at the top there is a great big area. I will find out soon whether they get a key to access this area so we can come and leave as we want. Otherwise we are going to have to park up at the finish line and walk up to a decent viewing point. Any ideas/advice are welcome. Please tell us if you plan on coming along so we can get an idea on numbers of cars in case I need to ask about access to the top. More details about the actual event here.. http://www.nelsoncarclub.co.nz/ EVENT DESCRIPTIONVenue: Dovedale Hill Road.Time: Event will start at 9:30am on Saturday 31st October 2015.Length: Approx 10kms long and is 100% gravel.

Paulluap Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 What time are you meeting? I have a bbq at 12 but thought I would go before or after, depending on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Hmm sounds like this meet is a bit of a fail but I'll be at Jacks tyres at 10am if anyone is coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hi all. Our next meet will just be a simple cruise to Ruby bay for BBQ and banter. Sunday 13th December let's say at 12. Do people want to meet up and cruise to ruby bay or just catch up with everyone there? Your thoughts pleases and thank yous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 I was motoring in The pogs Super Snipe. Totally missed you! To be honest I didn't think that they would be open and busy. Sorry about that and will hopefully see you at the next meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulluap Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 No worries. Handed out some more flyers at the sound off at car show (found some still in the back of my car which was handy). A few from Blenheim as well. Will see what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yay- I like food and BBQ food is up there with the best. Im happy to just meet everyone at Ruby bay but its not really that far to go from Motueka. Is there BBQs there or do we have to bring one?
