GARDRB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 So I'm pretty keen to head to Queenstown for the Coronet Peak Hillclimb in November. It's 165 days away, so we have some time to start saving. @Truenotch should be running and I'm trying to build some interest with some of the Whangarei guys. I know @Roman expressed some interest too. Who else is keen? @Snoozin @kpr @Dudley @lush Sadly I think Markku's rentals won't have the van available this time, but if we had an idea of numbers we could organise something silly. There has even been the suggestion of buying a van down there 5 Quote
Truenotch Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Hell yeah, it'd be great to have you lot down here. I can host at least a few at my place and the H6 Legacy (ultimate Queenstown getaway car) will be available. @Rhyscar would enjoy it too. 165 days might even be long enough to finish his car? 1 1 Quote
sidewaysickness Posted June 17 Posted June 17 I could be interested, I've always wanted to go so why not! I will see if the middy is keen 2 Quote
Rhyscar Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Yeah keen on an OS weekend away to watch some motorsport. Getting the car down there will be a bit of a stretch, unfortunately, unless someone is planning on driving down and could tow it for me? 2 Quote

Mate @GARDRB and I were talking about buying a car to drive back, we could just drive the 2zzzzzzz down for ya 1 2 Quote
Rhyscar Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Keeping all the oil in would be a big feat! Road legal might be another challenge, not quite sure which way the cards will fall on the budget to get it road legal at this stage But keen to lock in a weekend away regardless! 2 1 Quote
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted June 17 Posted June 17 This looks like something a Falcon rally car would be shit at. But entertaining... 5 2 Quote

The crowds on the hill would absolutely froth that thing! There's rumours of a second hillclimb the following day over the Cromwell side too..... 3 Quote

bigfoot Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Would be so keen for this but I'm there 3 weeks later and have a concert and a rally in november so no chance of pulling it off Quote
TimShadboltfan27 Posted June 18 Posted June 18 I am tentatively available that weekend, still need to tick the hill climb off my list. can also accommodate OS visitors at my place and ferry guests around in a blandwagon 2 1 Quote
NickJ Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Put me down as keen, happy to get involved changing tyres/brewing coffee 2 Quote
igor Posted June 18 Posted June 18 Not even sure where I'm going to be then but keen as to see @Lord Gruntfuttock and his mates booting the whale up the hill. Quote
Truenotch Posted June 18 Posted June 18 This could turn into quite a party. What should we call it? Queens Boes Hill-ary Barries The Hills Have Boes HPACPHCOSGC Quote
