Dunedin/Otago meet up and cruise Sunday 12 December 2021

[vivaspeed]

So I've had an OS car down here for a year now and done very little with it.  Summer is coming.

Any Dunedin/Otago locals interested in a meet up, cruise, whatever?

@danger @azzurro @a.craw4d @xsinclairx @kyteler @nzstato who else lives down this way?

[xsinclairx]

I’d be keen! 

[nzstato]

Sure... I just dont have anything OS running yet.... the perpetual project horder

 

[azzurro]

Keen as!

@kiwi808 is in central i think?

[vivaspeed]

Isn't Zeb down in Dunedin as well?

[smokin'joe]

often coming through Dunedin, but not in an old school ride.

probably need to organise counter-terrorism when the shit-box marathon comes through in January.

I’m hoping to pick up the Rx-7 early/sometime in November on a Saturday from Dunedin so could possibly make it work. Should have a definite date in the next two weeks.

Will try and mobilise the RX boys too. They can normally get about 20 cars together and love a cruise.

Let me make some calls and I’ll report back in a couple of weeks with an update?

Could be ken, car is drivable at least now. I have a new speed sensor to go in this weekend which should fix one issue. Then down to a vacuum leak I cant find. But car does drive now after months and max dollars!!!! Seem to have sorted all the issues that were causing all sorts of random ever evolving problems.

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

Well. The Fairmont is WOFed and rego'ed. Not sure can afford fuel for such a journey tho... 

Ran out on last jaunt to Nightcaps.

[gettinroundtuit]

It wont be attending in this, robbing clutch cable for other scavenger tonight. Wont need it again so i may as well get some use out've it.

Should be able to rock on up for it.

[vivaspeed]

Cool, sounds like a bit of interest.

I reckon we meet somewhere central and then find a few good driving roads  and hoon about then end up somewhere for food/drink?

Open to suggestions.

[Lord Gruntfuttock]

Peering over the fence at old cars in Ranfurly...?

[nzstato]

NE valley or port Chalmers up and over to Waitati at Arc for a drink/nibbes

Or Highcliff out to the portobello pub and back in on the harbour road

So id better rob  the good hardware & toss into the gold scavenger

All of those are good - plenty of interesting driving on the peninsular - out to Allans etc.

Mrs was keen to take the Wagon up the Pig Root to the big opshop in Ranfurly one time in summer, but that may be a bit far for a convoy, it is a nice driveing road.

 

Also agree we should assemble for a guard of dishonour/bring parts/snags for the shitbox rally

[nzstato]

You can do the 'smaller' block run of Palmerston/Dunback/Macraes/Middlemarch which is a good trip.  If you dont mind the gravel, take the moonlight valley between macraes<->middlemarch
