getting closer only two more sleeps........

 

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.

Rotaman

I'll be there for the first two hours haha

 

Made it home in 1 piece, thanks for the offers of help.

It was a great day with awesome roads! Big thanks to those who organised it!

 

Glad to hear you got your baby home safely Scott , let us know what the fix when you get it sort

THANKS BRETTUS for organising a GREAT DAY OUT

 

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.

 

Great day - Filled up at Mercer 56.8L of fuel and that was after the 4L I put in.....how big is that tank again

A big thanks to Brettus & Rotaman for another fun day in the sun

RIP another bird

 

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 !!!!

 

A few of my photos:

Took over 17000 photos yesterday, should have the video on youtube tomorrow.

Spotted this photo while I was editing the video:

Hint: I can see an advantage of having a red 8

 

Noice guys...very noice!..

Where are the Series 2's???

Or is that pic # 16,999?

Looks like you had good weather....nothing like a line up of RX-8's or any Mazda's for that matter..

GREAT!
