I had to go and have another look to see what you meant, but yes you are right, we better be careful, no speeding in that area.

looks good! I'm still a maybe as I have a new born and my house build will be in full swing (the roof has just been finished now!) but am excited to see more updates!

 

Did everyone find the starting point?
Was there a preference for July 27 or August 3rd as a day for the event?

Rotaman

 

Any day is good for me! I'm excited! Nice and close to my work, see you all there!

 

July 27 , please

 

I would prefer the August 3rd,
I have a drift event on July 27th,
Thanks

 

Well someone is going to be unhappy, so maybe Xcon and drum-beats can workout which weekend is the one we will go for.

The event setup is coming along well. I spent yesterday working on putting some of the event together. Some of the roads are looking pretty good with plenty of twisty bits.
I even managed to get my car out of the shed on Sunday and take it for a drive, first time since the street sprints.

If it suits everyone else, have it on the 27th,
The way I see it, Ill still be enjoying myself, no point in ruining it for Xcon,

 

I have updated the first post, so that everyone knows what they need to bring along on the day.

Rotaman

 

Thanks Drum-Beats
If it needs to be 3 Aug ...i'd have to pencil myself in and would know closer to the time
But for 27 July i can confirm

 

I'm getting excited, I've posted the thread to the RX8 Nz Club on Facebook and a lot of people are getting interested! Need more females!

 

Shelby, thanks for posting this on the RX8 NZ facebook page, let hope we get some of them to come along.
And you are right in saying we need more females to get involved with these events.

So still no definite date yet then?

I got some more of the event written out today, so nearly half way through it now.

temp student. funds are uber low.

 

27th sounds good! I think the wife is going to come along now too which will be nice! I hope we get a good turn out, It will be awesome to catch up with everyone!

 

Ok, looks like the 27th is the date we are looking at then.
I'm just in the process of booking somewhere for our lunch break, if the weather lets us get there.

Updated first post.

Rotaman

 

Just an update, I have booked a lunch stop, so all is coming along well.
Hope everyone is getting there car ready for a great day out.
I've updated the first post to show the coordinates for the start point and start time.
Although I may move the start time forward by half an hour.
Look out for anyone you may think could be interested in a good drive around the country, and see if they want to come along.

Rotaman

Cool - Would be great to get some other rotas along ...

Is this everyone so far ?

Woulda shoulda couldas:
DRTYSX - did the dirty
Drum Beats - Driftin' off somewhere

 

Here a couple of pictures of the prize for who ever gets the most questions right on the MMRR event.
We expect the winner to eat it all in one go.
I have changed the time start for the event to 9.00am, just to allow enough time for us to get to our lunch stop.
Hope everyone is getting ready, only 4 weeks to go.
