Aucklands Anon Burger meet!!

[Ned 3,805]

i commend you for keeping this tradition alive my friend!

[Thousand Dollar Supercar 2,342]

Thanks for checking in on the nonexistent-Burgerfuel-meet thread.

Here's your monthly pic for August, brought to you by the third Wednesday of the month:

My Jaguar is blocked in by my pranged Alfa, which is running on about two cylinders these days so isn't easy to move out of the way. Could be a challenging burger. 

[Styles 1,363]

I reckon I could make next month, in my daily. But pretty confident that I’ll be able to make October with the Celica. We need to do a proper comparison next to each other, just maybe a park in between to make space for stupid big doors.

Hello again from the nonexistent-Burgerfuel-meet thread.

Here's your monthly pic for September, brought to you by the third Wednesday of the month:

This month I've booked a dentist appointment for earlier in the evening, so if I'm not at Burgerfuel, know that I'm suffering.

[Snorkpipe 269]

It must be time to organise next month's one. being Spring and all.

Also, daylight saving rolls out in 10 days.

[Thousand Dollar Supercar 2,342]

The next one would fall on the 16th of October, but it's looking like I'll be working in Wellington that week. =(

I should be around for Mercury Plaza on 5th/6th October though (see https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/61105-last-orders-at-mercury-plaza/page/2/#comments )

For this month's nonexistent Burgerfuel meet this Wednesday the 20th, is there any interest in seeing the Ford v Ferrari movie? It's on at 7:45 or 8:45 at Sylvia Park.

"I wanta you to beat those Americans, at any cost!"
"But Mister Ferrari, my manifold, she's in danger!"

[Ghostchips 4,878]

Would have but i think i'd get lost again.  Great idea though.

[Thousand Dollar Supercar 2,342]

Oh well. I'll see it another time.
I did manage to get my Jag legal again today, after two weeks of handbrake repairs followed by a WOF failure because of tyre load ratings.... I need to make up the time that took, so I'll stay home.

Since we've lost Ellerslie, why don't we shoehorn a monthly meat into Caffeine and Classics?

Cruise in together park up, wander about?

[Thousand Dollar Supercar 2,342]

Get up early, sit on the motorway for 1 hour, wait in line 1 hour to buy a coffee, then another hour on the motorway home? 

I wanted to do the track cruise this month but it's not on because of the 2k Cup racing. I'm not clear on whether there will be a $10 admission charge for Caffeine & Gasoline because of the racing, or whether that only applies if you want to sit in a grandstand and watch it.

Last time I went to C&G there was an event on, and didn’t have to pay for park-up.

I thought ellerslie was fine as long as someone gets broken leaky BW35 on their doorstep if they complain?

[Thousand Dollar Supercar 2,342]

I just realised @michaelme said Caffeine and Classics (Takapuna) rather than Caffeine & Gasoline (Hampton Downs). I was under the impression that some of OS already attended Caffeine and Classics fairly regularly? 

[Styles 1,363]

I’m keen for either..... just need to get a plan together this afternoon....

Hi, yep sorry I meant the Takapoontang variety.

Got out there after 10 (kids took about 3 years to get out the door) and there were plenty of cars on show, and surprisingly heaps of parking in the back carparks.

However no photos so didn't happen

[Shakotom 6,567]

Hi guys

-I stepped down from Auckland Area rep a while ago due to having a bunch of shit going on at the time that I felt like I was drowning in.

Apologies for being so slack. Still don’t have a OS car that works but eh. 

 

-would any Aucklanders still be keen to attend unofficial burger meets now the weathers getting nicer? 

 

 

[Styles 1,363]

Definitely, now I'm on the road again!

[punkoutnz 3,318]

Wouldn't mind attending occasional burger eats.

[piazzanoob 1,492]

same here would attend 

also don't currently have an OS car legal or running
