Re: Sth Auck run. Port Waikato - Counties twisties 12th August
Hi team,
the weekend is creeping up and it's looking great!
Just a heads up we won't be having the usual BBQ. I dont have a mini transportable one. My plan is to find a nice bar or takeaways on the route and stop there. But by all means bring yourself some snacks and drinks if you prefer, or to be safe
Cheers

Sorry to have to miss this one but I need to be at the airport before 12pm so not really feasible for me to attend (no matter my driving style, lol).
Have fun guys

My AW has a knackered left rear shock and a stuffed muffler but the weather looks AWesome and damn I could do with a bit of a drive.
I could bring my BBQ. Want me to Paul?
If so you better let everyone know to bring sausages etc...

OK so this morning the window gear destroyed itself so I can't lock my AW. So let me know please if I should bring the BBQ, cos if lunch is in a pub etc I'll have to give it a miss. Cheers.

Re: Sth Auck run. Port Waikato - Counties twisties 12th August
Ooh exciting!! Weather's looking fantastic!!
Charlie, I worry it might be getting a bit late notice to change the plan? I won't be able to pick up sausages on the way to Drury anyway. But I think bring the BBQ and let's see who brings BBQ food, perhaps wing it?
I'm sure even if we stop somewhere we can find a pozi outside in the sun close to the cars.
Certainly no excuse to completely flag what will be a mint run on a even minter day!
Just realised I dont have any MR2OC run stickers either. Can you bring some?
Shame you can't make it Ivor. But that flight probably is a bit early to enjoy much of the run. Next time!!
See you all bright and early in the morning!!!!

You know what I think you're right. Turns out we don't have any BBQ food here either! I won't worry about it Paul. Maybe next time...Mr-Paulio wrote:Charlie, I worry it might be getting a bit late notice to change the plan? I won't be able to pick up sausages on the way to Drury anyway...
Sorry I didn't pipe up earlier but haven't been too sure whether I can make it or not and didn't want to offer to bring the BBQ unless I felt I could actually commit. Anyway I should see you guys in the morning. Barring any further mishaps etc...

The early start should work out well cos I want to finish getting the tank out of the SW tomorrow arvo.
Catchas at BP, all going to plan... Should be a ripper of a day.
