Hi Guys.
It had been a long time since our last mini meet in Auckland so I was thinking we could all meet up at the Bayswater Auto Show on March 10th.
It is organised by one of my mates as a fundraiser for the Bayswater School. They have a best club display award which it would be awesome if we could win. Our last record was 5 Avengers but with all the new members in Auckland then I am sure we could double that, and if we could get say 10 Avengers then I would say we would be in with a pretty good chance at the best club award.
The show starts at 10am but I was thinking we could meet up before had, say at 9am so we can get a good spot and all come in together so we can be grouped together.
Let me know if you are keen, if we get enough people interested then I will talk to the organiser and get a spot set aside for us.
BTW Free Avenger.co.nz stickers for anyone who comes along.
Count me in...will come along in my 5 speed Alpine...can sell for $6000...better value than that Timaru one...lol
Should be able to make this one!
Awesome!! So that make 3 of us. Who else is coming?
It should look pretty cool with three 5 speed Avengers lined up together.
I had good news from the panel-beater yesterday, that it's going into paint on Tuesday and I will have it back on Weds/Thurs (28th Feb).. So that leaves me with another 9 days to sort out a few other issues on it! :D
Also, do you know who owns an Aquarius Avenger Wagon? 1974, same color as mine/Richards with the square headlights? As they work right by my house. Maybe I should leave them a note!
Cool, I can't wait to see it.
Stuie owns that Aquarius Avenger Wagon that came on the last Avenger cruise, but that is a 1975 like mine.
If it is a '74 then it will be a new wagon we haven't seen before. if so, leave him a note.
See if the plate number matchs with this wagon http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=236.0 (http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=236.0)
Im Keen if i still own my van ! haha
Awesome! that makes 4, who else can make it?
It would be awesome if we could beat our old record of 5 Avengers at a meet.
I think I can bring two...that will equal our record!!
Sweet! That would be awesome if you could.
Looks like I'll need a tow at this rate! Still at panel-beaters, about to go in primer but won't be road legal to get there on the 10th!

Stink, I was really looking forward to seeing your Avenger.
I will still come for sure, to catch up with you guys!
I have been promised that I will get the car back on Friday.. :)
However, it still won't have a wof/reg (or cert) to go driving to Bayswater! :(
Sweet.
I am sure you would get away with it for one trip.
I did the same for the last Auckland meet if you remember, unpainted fibreglass, bonnet held down by duct tape, no wof/reg, dodgy as :)
So many of my mates drive unwof'd and rego's to kumeu etc, or run different plates, like my mates Valiant Pacer said it was a mitsubishi pajero. he does the same thing every year and never been stopped.
Yeah, I'm of the same mindset. I'm sure it'll be all good.
Only lame thing is that it's massively over-fueled right now (most likely due to the small vac leak) so hopefully I can get those fixed on Saturday and then test-drives galore! :D
At least it is over fueled. You are much better off running rich than lean. Both are bad but running lean can kill an engine. I lost a race car engine due to running lean.
When I rebuilt my '75's engine I did all the running in with the engine running rich, just until I could get it on a dyno to make sure I wasnt leaning out.
Less than a week away guys. Hope your are all getting your Avengers ready for the big show.
I will be bringing plenty of free Avenger.co.nz stickers, and I was also thinking of bringing some of my old Avenger sales brochures so we can display them in our windows. I have one with a Van in it for you Mikey.
I still have a lot of people who are up in the air so if you could let me know if you are coming and how many Avengers you are bringing (Ross). I have the number of Avengers hovering somewhere between the 4-7 mark. If we could get 7 Avengers then that would be totally amazing.
How about you out of towners? any of you hamilton guys feel like a trip up to the big smoke to check out the other Avengers?
Any of you who haven't let me know you are coming then let me know. The show starts at 10 but we should meet up somewhere near around 9 so we can all arrive at the same time so we can all be grouped together. Also if we can get more of a fixed number then I can email the organiser and let him know we are coming.
My Cell phone number is 021 419 702 if any one needs to get a hold of me for anything. Later in the week I will post the final instructions like meeting spot etc.
I will only be able to let you know on Friday afternoon!
That's all good. You are a special case so you can get away with being on the fence.
I'm a special (nut) case too and will be bringing my Alpine and GLS to be parked by the fence...lol
Not looking good at the moment :(

Bugger. even if you don't have the Avenger running, do you want to pop in and say hi. It would be great to catch up since I haven't seen you in AGES.
Okay guys.
For those of you who are coming here is the final plan.
The car show is at Bayswater school which is on Bayswater Ave.
For those of you who don't know the shore just get off the motorway at Esmonde Road and head east until you get to a T intersection then head south down Lake Road towards Devonport.
We will all meet up at the McDonalds on the corner of Lake Road and Bayswater Ave at 9am. We will then drive down to the school in a convoy at 9:30 so we can get a good parking spot together at the show.
If you have any questions or get lost on the way my number is 021 419 702
Here is a map from the motorway (A) to the meetup point at Mcdonalds (B) and the show (C)

Look forward to seeing you all there.
Hi, I will be attending in my alpine, looking forward to it
Hi Jack. Welcome to the forum.
It will be great to see your Alpine at Bayswater, I didn't get a chance to have a real good look at it up in orewa.
Thanks heaps for everyone who made it out to the show.
It was cool to see Jack's newly restored Alpine. We only had the top of the line Avengers there with Ross bringing his Alpine and GLS, Jack's Alpine and my Panther.
Can't to see your Avenger Nikolai, the new colour scheme sounds like it will be kick ass.
