Nelson Area meets. Sunday 1st August- drive to Pelorus bridge for lunch..


Recommended Posts

Yet another awesome meet! I feel that it should be essential for every Takaka run.

Thanks everyone for making it happen and a special thanks to Mark for calling the guy with the collection. Hopefully we will see him and his kermit the frog on here soon.

 

Here's my pics that aren't repeats of everyone elses

OK - so next weekends run on Sunday out to Pelorus bridge. We can take a side trip on the way by driving over the sweet little road from Rai valley to Okiwi bay for some photos. Its well worth it as its a very cool road. It will be icy Im sure but hey..extra giggles. Allowing for tops we should be at the bridge for lunch around 12 to 12.30.

 

So those who are keen on coming along please meet us at the Wow carpark at 10am. We'll leave not long after. Those coming from Motueka can meet at Repco at 9.15 so you can have a nice cruisy drive through to Wow to meet the Nelson crew.

Another fine Nelson day saw us head out for a chilled cruisy trip to Pelorus bridge for lunch. We took in a side trip over to Okiwi bay on the way. I had forgotten what a sweet road that is. It was a touch chilly there though and was nice to get back into the warmth of our cars. Lunch at Pelorus was quiet- what is usually a packed out cafe around that time of day was this time very peaceful indeed.

 

It was great to see some new faces along - cheers to Euan and Lana for coming along in their very cool sleeper that is a minty fresh VL commy on steels fitted out with an RB25. I got to take it for a decent drive and its great fun. That thing would surprise many a modern car.

 

The Whangamoa hills were as awesome as usual! So little traffic as well.

 

Next meet is undecided but ideas were being floated about. Maybe a trip out to Murchison and beyond? Any ideas are welcome and as usual anyone is welcome along. We are quite a chilled out bunch.

 

Some photos...

OK- next run, this coming Sunday 2nd of August, is to the Tophouse pub up near St Arnaud for lunch/good coffee/nice views/banter and scheming about old cars. Maybe do a different route back to Nelson depending on who turns up and weather etc.

 

Website for the pub. Looks nice. Food looks good. coffee machine looks good. Yum.

I'll be there waving the Italian flag

I have a brand new gearstick lollipop for you if you want it :)

 

And I have heard rumours of evil plots against me and my car. All you have to do is ask nicely dicks.
