People work on queens birthday?
The forecast for saturday looks good?? Maybe a bbq aswell?
Hell now your talking. How about an early morning departure and then early afternoon bbq? or would the other way round be better. late morning bbq and early afternoon trip?
oh yeah prob work two of the three days with monday being the most important! sux eh
Aotea's kind of like a big playground. They've hosted deadwood there a couple of times. Its really no prob for me to bring a bbq down as its just a couple of minutes down the road. I'll ring the guy up for sat if its alright with everyone?
ok what time? how big is this block? couple of hours will cover all the tracks? say bbq 1pm and driving the afternoon? I wouldnt know or have a clue about this place.....
Its kind of like a big open area. It would take you ages to drive everything. But its got some good driving in there. Drive what you want and leave what you dont like. Could start at one end and drive the hazards on the way to the other? Do you want to drive hazards in the morn or after noon?
Id prefer afternoon after lunch etc that way we get to look at the trucks for a bit and have a yarn etc. Always the way when meeting up with members for the first time. Have a beer and banger while I point out all the faults of the landy and you the toyota
Oh and I know all the faults.....I've owned 2 and still have one of em. tried cutting all the faults out, havnt got much left of it now but still love it to death
It would be good to meet up with another person who knows abit about land rovers. I was originally going to get rid of the landrover and buy a zuki or something after I learnt off roading (it was a $450 bargain) but it has too much sentimental value to get rid of it now. Although the cage will be finished this weekend so dont point out that its muddy and rusty.
Trust me I know muddy and rusty! LR speciality. 1pm sounds great. I will turn up just before then with the stuff. Remember cameras, can never get to much photo evidence LR has to be one of the only 4x4s that you will get a definite/guaranteed wave as you drive past another one They just know the pain and suffering you have to endure to have the privilege of riding around in it
yea the couple of times ive sat in the passenger seat while my dad and my sister have driven it into porirua (I'm still waiting for my license) we've had waves and smiles. Not just from other landrovers. Its especially funny as you pass them on the motorway or up whitford brown.
To get in, you need to go to the top of francis brown ave. Theres a gate right at the top of the road. If i'm there already, the gate will be unlocked, just turn right when you get in the gate (dont follow the tarseal) and follow the track down.
sweet as! i havent been there in ages! alot of good places to get stuck. keen as beans! are we going to be looking at an access fee? just so i know to bring cash....
wont be able to make it this weekend, since im working,
but for future reference is also have a key to aotea block, so can always organise another meet, or possibly make it a fortnightly play?
