I could cum if the wounders find a shit local car they want in the south island. Load it up with PGs then I'm good to go

You could drive @MaxPower sigma down!

[HighLUX]

I wouldnt drive that thing 1 KM let along across both islands. Got a free ferry trip to use up too

[TimShadboltfan27]

Yea keen to put together a rag tag crew of poorly organised individuals to drive one of the wounders blue smoke machines across the Amuri Plains in search of PGs and Irvine’s pies

theres a perfectly good plane station down the road in quakechurch, so dont be shy about piping up, and im sure the local crowd can arrange pick up/ a ride to Hanmer.

Whatever you do, do not accept an airport pickup from this man ^^

Bort kindly offered me a ride one time, which I was happy to take, but then at several points on the trip I seriously feared for my safety and death flashed before my eyes.  Sliding around the back seat of the angry V8 Valiant coupe (2 door sedan?) with no rear seatbelts as he did the imperial ton passing slower traffic on twisty roads.  I was not entirely comfortable with that situation.  Drive it like you stole it comes to mind.

Then we were regaled with stories of how he rolled a car while younger, and other interesting motoring calamities he had encountered - whilst entertaining, did not add to the feeling of safety.

Then we were relieved of the near-death experience when he decided to do some road levelling with the sump of the aforementioned car, and it decided to drain the lubricating fluids, rendering it inoperable for the remainder of the event.  Hence the nickname "Sumpson" was acquired.

Then IIRC @yetchh gave me a ride back to Christchurch in his 121 which seemed to have an intermittent fueling problem and so it wasn't being super reliable either, but we made it.

Such memories.

TL;DR - if you don't want to die, don't travel to Hanmer with @RUNAMUCK

Pretty keen, might need to borrow some terrible trash car from the wounders though.

@JustHarry

Yeah 

Fuck.

Put my name down.

@cletus?

I could fly @cletus down, he can (hopefully) cert my imp and then borrow a suitably shit car from @Slacker_Sam. for a road trip south, then fly out of chch...

Or something like that.

I'm just thinking out loud. Imp isn't even near finished yet but good to have a goal to aim for.

[ajg193]

Jane says we can do it.

@igorI expect to see you there, you are also welcome to crash at our place on either side of the event, we have both a room and a shack on offer
