I did have one, but about 16 years ago, I got it as a doner car to fix mums 78 wagon that she crashed, back then I didnt know that vans were rare, gutted that I broke it up......It was my Hillman Superminx that I gave to the museum here in Hawkes bay

My old flatmate had a Singer Gazelle Ute. Its prob still sitting in a shed needing a bit of love... would dearly love to go rescue it. I managed to get it started one and had a blat around Waharoa. Felt real tough.

[kierbear]

where the heck is waharoa?

[blekkja]

small town - is essentually matamata's ghetto suburb. dairy factory closed so there is no work, and people burn down their houses rather than let the bank repo them. charming place. i'm sure i was the whitest person there.

[kierbear]

whats stopping you from rescuing it?

[blekkja]

me, i guess. it had some pretty angry rust and i've got better things to do. that and i haven't seen her for years so who knows what the situation is.

[kierbear]

ok, so,avenger meet!

[avenga]

Yes! Avenger meet. I am pretty sure we can say that Napier/Hasting has won the poll so now we need to start thinking about dates.

What do you all think? Late January?

[blekkja]

only if we can go to the gravels and get stuck into some good reds.
