Hi Guys. There has been some what of a boom in Avengers in Auckland over the past few weeks so I think it is time to have a little meet up one weekend.
I was thinking of doing it on a Saturday in early-mid October. Let me know what you guys think. I am still waiting to get my Avenger back after it's fibreglassing so it will be good to do it after then.
Let me know who is keen. PM me or post here if you want to come along. once we get the numbers coming then we can nut out which day works well with everyone.
I'm keen Richard, would like to see those two wagon's - maybe the only road worthy ones in the country?
Well we have the 2 Wagons and the UK 4 door in Auckland now which are 3 rare Avengers so we could easily have 5 Avengers at the mini meet, well worth it.
I might be interested in coming up, too, depending on the date, work, funds, kid, etc. I'm overdue a visit to my tattooist, anyway.
Keen as. 15/16th of October would be awesome. Might be able to have the black bonnet by then ;)
That would probably be perfect sort of time for me.
Once I get this fibreglass done the old bonnet is all yours. We still need it at the moment for making the reinforcement and getting the final shape perfect.
Hey, might be keen ay, depending on upcomin shit round home.
Will see closer to the time, but i'm a maybe!
Okay guys so are we still keen for this Avenger meet. How about the 16th?
Yes to 16th. Hopefully I'll get my radiator sorted before then so I don't have to worry :D
IS my Avenger a Van or a wagon?? just wanting to make sure!! haha
It's a van. If you come along to the mini meet I will show you all the special van bits on it.
hahah Sweet as, sounds like a plan, ill have to see though ae!!
ill let you know.
Cheers Mikey.
Hey guys. I have sent out a PM about the Auckland Avenger mini meet.
If you didn't get my PM and you want to come let me know.
Im Keen as to come!!
but Richard did you get my PM??
About coming to see my Van after the meet and everything??
Cheers Mikey.
Yup keen as to come!
How many do we have confirmed Richard?
By the way, what're we gonna do if it's pouring rain?
Keen to see the photos! Was a great day, great weather and good to meet everyone.
My Avenger will be a whole new beast next time you see it!
Also, I've gotten hold of these twin strombergs with manifold - anyone have any experience with them?
Yes it was a truly epic day! It was really great to meet you all and I had a blast chatting about Avengers and cruising. We must do it again sometime soon. And wasn't the weather just perfect? I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, Awesome weather, Awesome group of guys and awesome cars.
It is good to see younger guys getting in to the Avengers, Maybe now we can stop Ross from buying every Avenger in New Zealand.
I can't believe we had 9 Avengers there! pretty much every model of Avenger made in NZ was there, if we have my '80 Chrysler Avenger GL and Mike's Van then we would have a full set I think. We had Hillman Avenger Supers, Autos, Alpines, Wagons, Chrysler Avenger GLS and whatever you class my frankenstein-esque beast.
It was really cool to go see Mike's Van after the meet. So so very tidy and it is amazing to actually see a real van after only hearing about them and seeing the remains of the one down in Horopito.
I will try to get the photos up before I go away to the South Island.
