yoeddynz Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Just drop another rod down inside the oil cap as a spare. You only need four but three will actually do. Remember- its not some silly toyota. Its British so it will run happily on oil alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Cable bay is on the list of places we haven't seen yet but want to. So that sounds like a goer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 So guys and girls, our next meet will be a cruise out to Cable bay. Meet at Wow carpark at 11am, cruise out to Cable bay around 11.30. I'm not sure if there is a bbq out there but hopefully pog brings the bus out and we should be fine to use the wood fired bbq out there. I do like Will's suggestion on meeting at a grasskahna event with the Nelson car club and I'll look into that for an up coming meet. Anyhoo see you guys at wow! Chur! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Beagle is getting an exhaust built, (although hopefully I may get to pick it up today! If I can't, is anyone heading through Richmond that I can steal a ride off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sorry we didn't make it fellas. Decided last minute to spend the weekend touring golden bay instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 No problem at all! It was a small meet but still a good drive/banter session. Thanks to those that came along. Our next meet will coincide with the Sandy bay hillclimb (Marahau) I'll get details up in a day or 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Our next meet will be at the Sandy bay hillclimb (road to Marahau). Between classes there is about a 20 minute break where spectators can walk up the road to different spots/driveways. I will be at the first driveway at around 9am Bring your own chair, snacks and beverages and let's watch some hooning! http://www.nelsoncarclub.co.nz/next-event See you guys and girls there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I fully recommend it as a good day out to those who have not been to watch the hillclimb before. Some pretty choice varied machinery turns up because its a mix of Nelson car club weapons and Vintage car club weapons (with maybe the odd Uno mixed in...) Have fun peoples!

sidewaysickness Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 I only seen a couple of oldschoolers today, and they were too busy driving fast to talk shit with me. Plus I spent most of my time there hiding in the bushes with my camera. With such a wide range of vehicles it made for an interesting day and listening to all those unmuffled engines as they flew past was worth braving the cold morning. I will start off with photos of Matts(MattJ) Anglia and Tonys (Ynot) Punto. Followed by random shots So i've been thinking about over the winter months to having our meets at a local spot (Pub, Cafe, somewhere) on a set date every month like alot of the other cities do. Whats peoples thoughts on this? location suggestions welcome 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Could be a good idea - I completely forgot about today. Would have been a good excuse to get the kids out of the house. Looks like there were some non-caged vehicles, or are they just spectator vehicles...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yes there was uncaged vehicles racing there. He wasn't serious, just the safety car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattj Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 There were quite a few uncaged cars there, think they were all with the vintage car club though. Cool photos Shane! Any chance of a copy of that first one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 No problem at all Matt, what's the best way to get it to you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fun than terrifying? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Somewhere warm. Brrrrrrrr. The speights ale house at wow is warm and has ample parking. We did that meet there. But not exactly a characterful place. But warm. Has fires. Is ideal for majority of Nelson folk. Plus if people start seeing regular old car meet there then more might come along.

sidewaysickness Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm not a huge fan of speights ale house. Shit coffee, expensive for average food and it's generally too busy/noisey. How about the Moutere inn? Thanks for the input though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
