trying to talk to tony and keep on missing him but ill ring tomo, checked his car out and was in pieces so might not be able to make it sat.

But i found some one tonight and told him about the tour and he seemed interested so fingers crossed to get a decent turn out.

Also been looking at the weather radar and we might be able to miss the rain i think, http://www.metservice.com/national/m...forecast-7-day

For anyone that still has the last Mystery tour sticker on their car, you can take it off if you like, as I have a new one for you all.
Only one day to go and lets hope the weather is good. But not too hot.
See you all soon.

Got a new co-driver. He's one of the top mods at automotiveforums.com so we might be able to do a write up on us if we ask nicely

Day went pretty well up until the unfortunate Matai rd incident , which co-incidentally was where Scott lost his coolant . Anywhere else on the trip and we would have been able to help out ... but pretty much everyone was lost at that point . Glad to hear you made it home OK.

Longest detour - Xcon . Missed Waingaro rd completely

Most spectacular road kill - sweetfa . That bird bounced a good 10 meters into the air I swear.

Best navigation -Pottsy . Only one to actually go the right way at Matai Rd.

Unluckiest spot to breakdown - Scottnz . Where were you !?

Special mention - Bluerx . Stuck to my turboed *** like glue in his 4 port AT .

Biggest PIA - who put that bloody mud bath in the middle of the road just before Ngaruawahia !!!!

Yeah, video is up:

Missing one leg from Regian to Manu Bay.

Let me know if you can think of a more inspiring music to use.

Here is the google map for the day:

Was a cool day and mean weekend for it.

I'd definitely do it again, thought it was very well organised...
Well done everyone.
