Paul - we're coming, but if we don't actually get to BP in time just carry on and we'll try to catch up.
What a stunning day!

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass.

Things you learn when you own your first T top...... Always bring sunscreen and/or a hat! Massive fail! 
Feeling a bit sore and tired now. But such a good run. Especially on the way home. By my watch we had about 40mins of pedal to the metal fun twisties before we encountered a slow coach. And a few smaller stints after. Aswell as a good 20min stretch on the way there. So I am really liking this run. Even with holiday traffic it was still fantastic!
Good to see all you guys again!
Thanks for coming out and making it so much fun!!

Re: Raglan, Run in the new year! Sat 5th Jan 2019
Cheers for another great run Paul, makes for a long day coming from Warkworth but well worth it!
I had a blast and the SW ran sweet, agree had some good pedal time.
I counted about 15 new stone chips in the front lol.
Sat in the hotub now with cold beer, perfect way to end an epic day.
See you guys on the next one....

Re: Raglan, Run in the new year! Sat 5th Jan 2019
Sorry I couldn't make it guys.Had been invited to Summerjam at Meremere so spent the day watching drag racing and the NZ burnout championship.
Interesting saw a couple of MR2 there .One ,an SW had a club sticker on so obviously I wasn't the only one.The other car was the red Aw11 N/A chat a guy called nick came to a run with about a year ago .Strange how you find em.
Anyway glad you all had a great run and I'll see you on the next one

Hot tub and cold beers is so perfect! I sent the wifey a voice note on the way home to turn it on for me. Kept my burning parts above water though!pommy wrote:Cheers for another great run Paul, makes for a long day coming from Warkworth but well worth it!

Thanks for organizing the run, Paul!
It was good to catch up with everyone.
The run back home was really good
But, I'm still recovering from the shock caused by the inconsiderate Demio driver on the way to Raglan, lol

Great drive, people and food It's also good to see that they're fixing parts of the road (more bits were missing last time).

Seriously guttered that i couldn't make it in the end.The international Speedway season at the Springs is a killer on time. I hardly got anything done on my racecar as planned let alone anything else.
