Willdat? Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 That MX5 is the one owned by Isaac / @mattj has the floor cut out of it so @ThePog sized people can fit in it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Oh cool. Yeah I fancy going along for a look. There's a ford you have to drive through to get into the park? I wonder if its too much for my Imp (especially with all the rain we've had) Might take a Micra if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have been thinking about buying/building a Kohatu suitable mx5, I'm not sure it's the pogmobile. I wished they would crack on with the actual circuit. I met one of the men on the board the other day, he said it was inching closer. Alex we can winch it onto the pogmobile for any difficult crossings... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder why some of the rich buggers about Nelson/upper south don't throw a bit of money into it. It would be an asset to the Tasman region I think. The plans they have mooted are more than just a race track- mtb tracks too and designed to cater to a family day out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Access road is fine for your average family wagon/rough MX5, but not for anything low... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The money is there I think, the delay is the various parties that have objected. It sounded a lot like those hurdles had been overcome... That X1/9 I had was literally the most fun I have ever had in a vehicle going around Ruapuna, just the fact you could give it everything was a compete joy. Man I gave that thing shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It only costs $50 to have some fun. only need cotton overalls and a good crash helmet. They are hoping to start building they tarmac track in the next year or so, once the road in is improved and widened so more cars can travel in and out at the same time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Class A is 0- 1300cc. That's where I play with the Uno, other cars are mid 70sToyota Corolla, early mazda 323, Toyota starlet, Toyota Vitz, and occasionally a Citroen GSA, Suzuki cappuccino with a 1300 twin cam in it. Would be great to see a Nissan march rushing around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
