1963 AP5 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I may join in, will discuss with the boss. When we did our run around to Maraetai a while back I noticed that we were short on aging bogans in old Commodores so I might look to remedy that situation this time round. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm going to suggest you divert this to Hamilton and come to the swap meet here in Hamilton and also come to my annual open day haha. Will not be able to attend now sorry. Edit. Will have free snags. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Threeonthetree Posted April 4, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2017 Mayte, I was on the fence until you mentioned free snags. Love 'em So for all those planning on attending I propose the following amendments: We travel from Auckland down to Hamilton on the 30th of April, attend Midnight Upholstery's Open Day, visit the Hamilton classic car 'Classics Museum' and the associated swap meet that will be occuring on its grounds. The classics Museum Swap Meet is a $5 entry per person but children under 15 or those who look younger than 15 like chees- are free. There is a wide range of food available including the Diner themed restaurant at the Classics Museum itself, a BBQ at Midnight upholstery which is less than five minutes away or a wide range of Waikato culinary delights including Waikato Draught, pies and McDonalds. And some decent food too puhuhu. Since the drive from Auckland to Hamilton is probably the shittiest drive in the country IMO, we could always meet at the Drury BP and take one of several alternative routes to Hamilton including: - Turning off SH1 at Pukekohe, cutting across through Tuakau and heading south through Pukekawa on SH22. Then heading East back to SH1 through Glen Murray along Glen Murray road. This road and the area south of Tuakau are good driving roads with a lovely bush scenery and plenty of hills, corners and straights. This route would see us rejoin SH1 at Rangiriri. - Turning off SH1 at Pokeno, heading South through Pukekawa on SH22 but continuing even further South through Naike, crossing the border into the Waikato shortly after and then turning East onto Hetherington road and joining SH1 back at Huntly - Turn off SH1 at Rangiriri, Head South through Rotongaro, Glen Afton and Glen Massey, thenheading into Hgaruawahia and on to Hamilton. Or feel free to suggest another route. There are roads to the East of SH1 but they aren't as entertaining or enjoyable to drive through as the ones on the West as suggested above. But I am open to feedback as it's all about what you guys and girls want.

Another option is to stay on the western side of the river as far as Whatawhata. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeonthetree Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 I agree. Still waiting to hear what the rest of the people who are going to attend think about the proposed route. Otherwise I'll just pick one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1963 AP5 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 100% keen for the Hamilton mission. Swap meet will be worth a look and I am sure the open day at Midnight Upholstery will be a good time. Snags can only make a good thing even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threeonthetree Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 So the Swap Meet starts at 7am but realistically I don't think most of us want to leave Auckland at 5:45am on a Sunday in order to be there at the start time. How about meeting at the BP in Drury at 8am? Even with the alternate routes we will still arrive in Hamilton and at the Swap Meet before 10am. That gives us a good couple of hours of browsing before heading off to Midnight Upholstery at around lunch time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm okay with 8am. However I was discussing it with Ant the V3000 Man, and he's currently torn between not meeting up with OS and getting there super early to sift through the bargains, or cruising with OS and potentially getting there too late to score anything cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 trucks broken, never should have said i would go to an OS event tbh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
