hawkes bay event

[hunted]

was thinking saturday night would make more sense....will see what itl cost me to stay the night somewhere. havnt been to hastings in years so might make a day out of the drive, woudl be ashit load nicer then heading up at the crack of dawn on sunday.

whats the deal with putting cars int he show? just rock up and pay?

Cool. Saturday is much better than early morning. I am cruising down on Saturday also so I was thinking we should all meet up in Hastings some time on Saturday afternoon and go for a bit of an Avenger cruise around Hastings etc. I'm sure one of the locals can come up with a nice scenic route for a drive.

We had our MoPar annual meeting down there last year and we went for a cool run out through the back roads, I still have the map. I will see if I can organise something with the locals closer to the event.

On the day I think we should all meet up first and go in as a group so we can all park together. I am staying with some of my MoPar mates so I might see if they want to join us in the convoy to the show. but yeah it is just rock up and pay.

sweet sounds good. yeh definitly roll in as a an avenger group

[avenga]

Cool, well over the next week or so I will come up with a plan and post it up here.

Sounds like it will be a fun weekend full of Avenger madness!

its only $5 to put a car in, im not sure if i already mentioned that
i think a drive around ahuriri and along marine parade should also be a part of the cruise

[hunted]

right, in order to make sure I come to this im going to book somewhere to stay for the saturday night.

worth booking in at the same place as others? could go out to the pub Saturday night etc. I imagine the place will be pretty busy so will pay to book asap

[avenga]

I will be staying with friends, I will PM you some details of the places my Hastings MoPar mates recommended.

I am planning a little cruise followed by a casual diner and drinks somewhere.

this is the cruising route I was thinking. It's about 65KM through the back roads, stopping of along the way for some sweet Avenger photos.

[kierbear]

that route looks quite good

[avenga]

Excellent! So we will meet at Purfume Point which is just as you come in to Napier from the north.

Now we just need to figure out out a time. I am leaving from Auckland and Hunted is leaving from Wellington which is a 5 hour trip for me and a 4 hour trip for Hunted.

How about if we meet at Purfume Point at about 3ish, have good chat about Avengers and get to know each other then at about 4-4:30 leave for our cruise which should take us about 1.5-2 hours then dinner at around 6-6:30ish?

Any comments or ideas let me know.

[hunted]

sounds good to me, should really get on to booking a place to stay. car is in for a wof today, fingers crossed

[kierbear]

did u get a WOF?  haha. so how many avengers will there be and how many people all together will there be so i can ring the place where we are going to eat and let them know?

[hunted]

yep got wof so all ready to roll. have a miss thats developed but will head up anyway, she'l be right. am going to be lowering it tomorrow haha so it wont be so high roller spec for the show. will give it a quick tune too.

so yeh, lock me in.

[avenga]

I'm just doing a few final tweaks to my Avenger then I am good to go.

[hunted]

might have to give all the chrome another polish up before hand, cant be bothered doing the whole car....haha

[avenga]

I am not sure how much time I will have for cleaning. It might be a friday night thing. I just pulled out the electronic distributor out of my other Avenger and want to get the MSD and carb jets installed before the trip.
