Its summer again so to get ready for another couple of months of old school motoring we have decided to organise a leisurely cruise to Waipu for lunch, followed by spirited drive through some of the best roads in NZ.
A gold coin donation is requested from participants for lifeline.
So get the old girl out of the shed and let it stretch it’s legs.

Pizza Barn is penciled for midday on the 29th with a maximum of 30 people.

As this falls on the same day as Caffeine and Classics I will look into the Sunday following as another option.

 

Also, an opinions on ideal charity would be super.

Maybe we could funds raise for:

Breast cancer, we all like boobs.

SPCA, we all like animals.

Cure kids, because kids.

Or, bring tinned goods etc and make a donation to the Auckland city mission as part of their Christmas food parcel thing. This is often a good option as no one actually has to have money?

Woodcocks road is an awesome fang road.

The clash with C&C is unfortunate, but not the end of the world. This time of year a clash is unavoidable. December even more so.

Pick a date, stick with it and those that can make it will make it?

You've probably already thought of this but what if everybody meets at Caffeine and Classics and then leaves from there? 

It will add some delay (probably significant) to the leaving time but may be an option.

I hadn't thought deep into it.

I shall give this a go. Ill recalc the route and see what time the convoy gets to Waipu and ask the pizza barn.

 

 

idk if its of any value, but we have access to a property on mangawhai road that has a big outdoor area, lots of parking, a tennis court and a pool...

This is a good option as an alternative to beers at the pub and families will feel more welcome.

Ill send you a PM.

UPDATE!!!

 

Please look at the first post.

 

In summary:

Cruise is from Smales Farm allowing for time to look at other transportation devices before commencing at 10:30am.

Bring a dollar coin for charity or canned food for Caffeine and Classics Auckland City mission run.

Let me know if you are attending so I can tally a number for the Pizza place. They have a limit of 30 but im sure we can arrange an alternative if it is too large.
