I will come along.

I went to thier website and saw one of my mates cars. He was up here on sunday, there was 3 car shows in Auckland so he came up and I drove him around all the shows, he said he has seen your car around. one of my other mates said he works across the road from where you work. Small world aye.

It says it is open to American cars and hot rods so I might see if I can get some of my MoPar buddies to come along also.

Here is my mates car from that website, there is a Valiant Charger parked behind him so I guess both my cars would fit in but I will bring my Avenger.

OMGOSH! i idolise that car! where does ur mate work? the car club is pretty cool coz they dont really expect cars to be up to show spec, which is lucky for me!

[avenga]

Not sure where he works exactly but I was talking to him about the Avenger forum and I asked if he knew any down his way and he said "there's one that parks by work ,a chick owns it who works at Pak'n'save here in hastings it has pumped out guards to fit big rubbers"

Then my mate with that blue Valiant was telling me about your car also.

Your car must be pretty well known down there because all my mates down there have seen your car.

[kierbear]

yeah well thyre not that common around here lol plus i daily drive it and park it on a main-ish road. people will ask me what i drive and i just say "avenger" and if they dont know what it is i just say " the old school blue car with the blue wheels" and all of a sudden they know lol also maybe they have seen me pushing it/ getting under the bonnet on occasion? lol

[avenga]

It must stand out well, I really want to see how you have done the wheels because both my mates commented on the wheels and the big tyres.

When I was down in Napier in my Avenger in November I saw a brown Avenger drive past, I beeped and waved like a nutter and the person driving it must have thought I was crazy. My mates down there said they have seen another Avenger in the hastings area. I forget the discription of it.

[kierbear]

o ok. i know there used to be an orange one but it got stolen, ive only seen another brown one that an old lady drives. i know of a couple in napier and one in waipawa. it does stand out i guess coz its a pretty distinctive blue and generally everyone around here puts modgies on old cars, i just decided to be different

[avenga]

It's good to have a car that stands out. You have done a great job with your Avenger.

It was an old lady driving the brown one I saw in Napier so it is probably the same car.

Hey what model was the one that got stolen?? I used to be up with the play on Avengers around the bay, but over the last few years
I've lost touch

[azza1600]

Yer the brown one is a standard az 1.3GL, goe's past my place all the time

[JoKer]

HMM 14/15TH I intend to be competing Whariti Hill climb www.dannevirkecarclub.co.nz

[avenga]

Looks like fun JoKer. I really wish I had my race car ready to go and I had enough guts to give gravel a go. I am such a wuss only racing on tarmac.

BTW the site says 12-13th March, not 14/15th

[kierbear]

im not sure what the orange one was, ill ask my mate when i see her next coz it was her boyfriends that got stolen. its quite easy to lose touch with avengers around the bay, especially since theres harldly any!

[hunted]

i suppose i better turn up then huh....lol. richard has been doing his best to convince me

[avenga]

WOOHOO!! it will be awesome having you there. Are you coming up on Saturday or early Sunday morning?
