PistonHeads, NZ midwinter run! - Details

[kylie]

Got confirmation of a group of club Loti people coming from the Shore. Numbers getting there.

[Esprit]

Oooooooh sounds gooood... I'll give Jim a call tomorrow (TVR club) get him to put the word out.... NZTrev... you wanna put the word around the TVR boys from your end? I take it you'll still be bringing your beast even though it's for sale? good publicity... maybe someone's thinking about trading in their Lotus! :P

Jamieheasman? you in or out dude? You've been quiet through all this.

Glad to hear you'll be there Roger A...... HTSD... you still wanna come? We have to find you a car to ride in.... unless you want to bring the 'liner along... Anyone got a spare seat? NZTrev (if he's still coming) usually has a spare seat in shotgun ..... I'd give you a lift but am bringing a lady friend (I hope)

[nztrev]

Won't have a spare seat this time,ive found a boyfriend that can put up with my driving.
If I can't make it i'll come down to the museum to say hello.

[Esprit]

Aah ok... well in that case, we'll have to find someone else..... no doubt SOMEONE will have a free passenger's seat on the day I mean if we have a sunny day and a good group o TVRs and Loti there we could endup with a cople dozen cars... if we do, it'll be GREAT

[htsd]

I thought I could make it but its the old man's birthday on Sunday so I have to trek south to Hamilton. You win some you lose some... I'll look forward to watching some track days later in the year when the weather picks up!

Arrr... that be a shame guv.

Weather report for Sunday says Cloudy mainly, possible showers... so I guess it could go either way... at least it's not looking like a deluge!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <---- me excited

[kylie]

Easy big fella !! Hey I figured with School Holidays still on? Is it not? Sunday parking at Westgate may be still quite hectic, so earlier the better. George if you could really round up the troops in the city, once everyone you know of is there, just make a start. If people are running late they can just catch up. I will at Westgate early to secure a park and hopefully we can all avoid screaming kids and doors being slammed into the side of our cars

[Esprit]

Will try to make sure we're on-time, I'm imagining that we'll be running slightly ahead of schedule. Given that it's the last day of school holidays and it's a sunday, westgate shouldn't be toooo packed..... what you need is to get there early with some of that "police line" tape to fence us off an area of the carpark. If it's nicer weather, I'd imagine the malls will be less busy... malls only REALLY pack out when it's inclement.

I can't bloody wait either way

Hi Don,you made it back home ok,let me know when your in AK,i'll make sure i'm arround.
I'll see you guys Sun,the boyfriend bit,I was joking ok.

[Esprit]

Just wanted to say... weather's looking good for sunday.... full speed ahead people!

*fingers crossed the forecast is right*

[Izza]

Your a lucky bunch of SoBs.

Hope the weather holds out for you guys and you all have a great time.

[kylie]

The old weather maps dont look too shabby eh!! Clear cold winter days bring more horses of course
Rug up warm all!!!

[Esprit]

But of course ... I'll be wearing my PistonHeads beanie.... should keep my bonce nice and warm

[Esprit]

Looking good at the moment! Weather forecast for tomorrow is about the same as today possibly a little better. It's not going to be a stunning day of sunshine, but looks like the rain should hold off.... it's one of those days where we might get a spit or two, but that doesn't bother me... think it looks like we'll be on.

I'll post in here before I set off tomorrow to put a notice out whether it'll be on or not... at the moment we're looking about 90% positive... if there is any rain id doesn't look like it'll amount to much.

I look forward to seeing you all at around 10amish.... Kylie, I'll be seeing you and the west group at around 11am or just before

Tally Ho!

Well it's dawned a BEAUTIFUL Auckland day... so we are very much ON I'll see you at 10am just below the Museum in the Auckland Domain or at 11am at wetgate shopping centre... For those of you who don't know me, I'll be the bloke in the Silver Elise S1... come up and make yourself known

See y'all soon

[kylie]

Hey all, the weather dosent look too bad out this way, meant to westerlies with a few odd spits of rain throughout the day, shouldn't come to much though. I will be based at Westgate near the Burger King - turn the first left in the shopping complex and BK is on the left. Simon & I will be in a 89 Black Esprit Turbo.

See your there.
