Attention all AW owners...! The Old School outfit are meeting at the Massey University car park in Albany on Sunday 20th January - 11am to 2pm.
Either meet us there, or meet us at 10am at Westgate (usual place near Starbucks) before we cruise to Albany.
Unlike some, this is one event where you'll find yourself surrounded by people who fully appreciate the classic nature of an AW.
If you have an SW or MRS feel free to tag along, but just bear in mind the meet is supposed to be about Jap classics pre 1990 (I think).
See you there!

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.

Looks like it'll be raining Sunday.
As nobody (literally nobody) has expressed interest in this event, I'll not be worrying too much about it if I decide the rain is too annoying and go back to bed...

Sorry Ivor, I didn't think anyone was going so I gave it a miss.psyguy wrote:Went to the meet today. Saw one AW but no familiar faces.
Got fascinated by this:
We had a Datsun 1200 station wagon 30 years ago - and it was an old car back then!
2-door, dark green, like the one in this pic.
Drove the thing all over the North Island. Even up the river from 90 Mile Beach to the Cape Reinga lighthouse.
Hard to kill, with a really simple and reliable engine. It got the cancer in the end, as them old things usually do. Ah well...
