ill be there
yup all hillman'ed up too
as long as I dont wreck it at whariti next weekend :P
(12/13th mar)
http://www.dannevirkecarclub.co.nz/Whariti_Peak_Hillclimb.html
Did anyone go last year, what's the event like?
ive never been ross, but from what Ive herd its pretty crazy. a fair amount of shenanagins etc, fair bit of drinking and resulting antics etc. although I imiagine there are a few guys that come purely for the events, ie gymkana etc
So who is going? I might be keen on going with we have a strong Avenger turnout.
I will have to take time off work so I guess I should make my mind up soon.
I'm running auto-x at tui HQ :P
i have been talked into going.
I will be going.
cool so that means JoKer, Hunted, Kiera and myself going? 4 avengers, anymore going to make it?
just incase you guys didnt see it on oldschool, but you will need to register and pay in advance for nats......
Thanks for the heads up. I registered earlier this afternoon and will transfer the moneys tonight.
I am booked in for all 3 days so if anyone wants to convoy there and back on Thursday and Sunday that would be cool.
yeah im registering as soon as i find out on friday how much money i am winning from work
it will either b 2k, 1k or $500 which should cover it lol
please explain!! haha
haha every month they chose 5 people who have been really good and they get to spin "the wheel" and the prizes on that one are $50. $100 and $200. and then 3 people get picked out of all the people who did it the year b4 to do a yearly one with those bigger prizes, i only spun it once last year, won $50, felt slightly ripped off but then i got pulled out of the hat or whatever to do the big one yay :-) u spin for numbers on the wheel and the person who gets the highest number gets the highest prize and so on. now i just have to wait for friday to hurry up
shit yeh, your shout at nats then? haha
Slicks fit those rims BUT wont work well in a confined space (auto-X) with locked diff :P
this is Nats preparation/discussion :D
haha if i win the 2k then yeah ill bring a whole heap of piss down, as much as i can without my tyres rubbing since its also the weekend after my 21st lol my birthday is on the munday. ill keep u updated as to how much i win
Wish Kiera luck everyone....win the big one....could be petrol vouchers coming our way....lol
haha the money will go towards more useful things...like alcohol
but by all means, wish me good luck haha
Thankfully I don't drink alcohol because my Avenger has a real drinking problem.
Good luck Kiera!
Is it drinking less with those new chokes and jets Richard?
Don't know, I haven't got it back yet. I am getting them to do my electronic dizzy at the same time so they are just building me a good dizzy out of the 2 Aaron gave me plus the one I had.
I am getting them to research a secret little project so I don't know if they will be able to do that this visit or next.
I've booked 3 nights at the Nats too...c'mon everyone...see if we can break our record of 5 Avengers attending an event.
Awesome man!! Epic road trip from Auckland to palmy??!!
Yep...try and keep up next time...lol
Your new tyres made a huge difference. On the cruise out to Kaukapakapa you were going perfect speed. If you can keep up that speed and duplicate a few more of those sweet overtaking maneuvers then I think we just might be golden.
Right on Richard and with your re-tuned carbs we'll be able to cruise past more petrol stations!!
Thats what I'm hoping. It is a pity I can't get the 5 speed done before then. It would be great for the long trip.
if aaron comes there will be six coz joKer is coming too plus all of us from the last event. its nearly friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

WHOA...way to go Kiera!....who said you had to be good looking to win money??....but hey....it helps....lol
bahaha ur just jealous that im not painting my car burgandy
Haha...I better paint Sandy Casino Blue...that will confuse everybody!!
is sandy the name of ur car?
a month to goooo! is everyone prepared?
im not lol. ill be there but I dont think my new motor will be in and I dont think ill have it lowered again before then
Yes, I am getting prepared. Got my engine all dyno'd and tuned ready to go. Taking my seats out to be reupholstered and getting a parcel tray made.
Might see if I can get my diesel alternator in for my brakes before I go.
lol ok, im not putting that much effort into it. im probs just gonna get my sheepskin dry cleaned and then buy one of those mini fire extinguishers since i drive in constant fear. where can i get those from by the way? lol. wheel alignment yesterday was in preparation and i think thats all. haha andrew just bring lots of passengers = slam
I use a little 1KG fire extinguishers in all my cars. It is a must have item for any old car. I haven't had to use them once, touch wood, but it is worth having just in case.
I got mine from down at the local safety equipment shop. I think mine was like $30-40. Repco and supercheap also sell them but they were $80+
sweet. sort of just sick of driving in constant fear that im going to burst into flames....since im so quick?? lol pfft.
Only about a week away now. so what is the final number of Avengers coming?
frik better get those carbs on!
ill be there guns blazing. as for the car....lol, hopefully get it sorted next week, carb needs attention.
that was FUN! hope everyone gets hm safe - I win - was home at lunchtime...
