Just got a ring from my mate, asking if I was somewhere about Waihi. Told him I was about to get up and pass some "he wai"
He said it was probably a good call as the weather wasn't too crash hot.
Had checked the diff oil in the Mustang on Thurs and didn't like the look of it, so a change with some good additive, and a new gasket to finally stop the leak is the best option before another long drive.

most likely

mottly, Mar 27, 9:46am
thought the damp weather would help to avoid overheating lol

lookoutas, Mar 27, 12:51pm
And might keep the tossers at home.

I see the boys in blue planning another blitz onit , see how many unreg /wofnoisy /lowcars they can book in a weekendshould get their quotas up for the week .

lookoutas, Mar 27, 1:22pm
So long as they pick on the cars that shouldn't be there.

mottly, Mar 27, 1:24pm
apparently the cops are being real bstrds this year (to the Hop cars, not just the boy racer clingons).and from what I hear, there's plenty of little wnkrs there too I'm afraid.

lookoutas, Mar 27, 1:32pm
That's the one point that makes me glad I'm at home,
But they need rooting for picking on the real cars.

cuda.340, Mar 27, 1:36pm
don't encourage them to breed. there's enuff wnkrs without adding to the fold

mottly, Mar 27, 1:38pm
totally right!

leelee74, Mar 27, 2:53pm
stinky weather was looking foward to getting our finished firebird there oh well save lots of $$ on gas

I would have liked to go but have been ill for a while and really cant be bothered with all the tossers. Would have been a good test run for the new axle bearings in the stang.

tuttyclan, Mar 28, 6:57am
Is there still a few cars now at the Beach Hop

stevo2, Mar 28, 3:22pm
Just got home.
The weather was drizzling on and off on Saturday with the odd shower thrown in for good measure.
Sunday was a great day with no rain and still plenty of beautiful cars running about.
Was still a great weekend and any petrolhead that didnt go because off thew weather is a softcock lol.
cheers stevo

Does anyone know what car won the Top Ten shootout! And where has "Taxi" gone! Not the same without her!

mence, Mar 28, 3:54pm
I'm glad we didn't go this year lol!

We have a 67 Chev Impala convertible and it leaks like a flippen sieve when it rains hard!Both times we've been up to BH its rained on the way and I've spent a lot of my time holding towels up to the holes lol!The husband really wants to get the whole roof redone and get some new rubbers for the windows but they're so not cheap and we never get around to it. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get stuff for a 67!Damned hard lol!

jason18, Mar 28, 4:45pm
I hear the person that won the truck rear ended a mustang on the day.hmmmmm

disco11, Mar 28, 4:48pm
When they did the draw for the car or truck Noddy apologised that the truck wasn't there as it had been damaged Sat. morning, ie, before the new owner won it.

jason18, Mar 28, 4:56pm
Oh true so thats was before it was won haha Yeah I heard they rear ended a mustang

disco11, Mar 28, 5:12pm
Shame for both cars, the truck looked awesome before! New owner from Hamilton.

alibobo, Mar 28, 5:15pm
was good event again. i can live with the rain (wasnt even that bad) to get a chance to look at some very sexy car porn.

and definitely this time round as far as the cops were concerned there was no discretion used that i saw lol

wizardoo, Mar 30, 2:02pm
Was a great week.Noddy was driving the truck and it happened at 7am.we dont go because of the weather we go to see the cars and feel the excitment and the rain did not stop that.All those guys put so much into their cars and some still have a lot to do.the car that won over all was called cherry bomb.I did not get to see the finals.and there was 1100 cars plus entered not to mention the ones that were just there so I dont remember it.it was good to see the caravan and boat part.We have a ford bull nose transit 1975-1980 we thought we might do up Lol.Kept walking around looking at people and wondering if they were TMB chatters should of had a tent just for us.
