Auckland Avenger meet at the Bayswater car show

avenga · February 13, 2013, 09:54:16 AM

Hi Guys.

It had been a long time since our last mini meet in Auckland so I was thinking we could all meet up at the Bayswater Auto Show on March 10th.

It is organised by one of my mates as a fundraiser for the Bayswater School. They have a best club display award which it would be awesome if we could win. Our last record was 5 Avengers but with all the new members in Auckland then I am sure we could double that, and if we could get say 10 Avengers then I would say we would be in with a pretty good chance at the best club award.

The show starts at 10am but I was thinking we could meet up before had, say at 9am so we can get a good spot and all come in together so we can be grouped together.

Let me know if you are keen, if we get enough people interested then I will talk to the organiser and get a spot set aside for us.

BTW Free Avenger.co.nz stickers for anyone who comes along.

Should be able to make this one!

Awesome!! So that make 3 of us. Who else is coming?

It should look pretty cool with three 5 speed Avengers lined up together.

I had good news from the panel-beater yesterday, that it's going into paint on Tuesday and I will have it back on Weds/Thurs (28th Feb).. So that leaves me with another 9 days to sort out a few other issues on it!

Also, do you know who owns an Aquarius Avenger Wagon? 1974, same color as mine/Richards with the square headlights? As they work right by my house. Maybe I should leave them a note!

Cool, I can't wait to see it.

Stuie owns that Aquarius Avenger Wagon that came on the last Avenger cruise, but that is a 1975 like mine.

If it is a '74 then it will be a new wagon we haven't seen before. if so, leave him a note.

See if the plate number matchs with this wagon http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=236.0

Awesome! that makes 4, who else can make it?

It would be awesome if we could beat our old record of 5 Avengers at a meet.

oldschool · February 28, 2013, 02:46:18 PM

I think I can bring two...that will equal our record!!

avenga · February 28, 2013, 06:03:27 PM

Sweet! That would be awesome if you could.

Looks like I'll need a tow at this rate! Still at panel-beaters, about to go in primer but won't be road legal to get there on the 10th!

Stink, I was really looking forward to seeing your Avenger.

I will still come for sure, to catch up with you guys!

I have been promised that I will get the car back on Friday..

However, it still won't have a wof/reg (or cert) to go driving to Bayswater!

avenga · March 03, 2013, 12:25:10 AM

Sweet.

I am sure you would get away with it for one trip.

I did the same for the last Auckland meet if you remember, unpainted fibreglass, bonnet held down by duct tape, no wof/reg, dodgy as

So many of my mates drive unwof'd and rego's to kumeu etc, or run different plates, like my mates Valiant Pacer said it was a mitsubishi pajero. he does the same thing every year and never been stopped.

Nikolai · March 03, 2013, 09:47:25 AM

Yeah, I'm of the same mindset. I'm sure it'll be all good.

Only lame thing is that it's massively over-fueled right now (most likely due to the small vac leak) so hopefully I can get those fixed on Saturday and then test-drives galore!
