Poll: Where should we host the Avenger meet?

[avenga]

Hi guys. With the recent influx of new members I think we really need to step up plans for our first big Avenger meet.

We are looking to do it in January 2012 to mark the 1 year anniversary of the forum.

I was thinking of doing it somewhere in the central North Island so Auckland and Wellington members don't have to drive that far (easily a days driving) but if we get an overwhelming amount of interest from South Island people then Wellington might be the go.

Please take the time to vote on which city you would prefer or if you have another suggestion for a location then please post it here.

Somewhere that will involve a real nice drive to get to: Napier/Hastings is cool because apparently the Taihape-Napier Road is amazing.

What about New Plymouth? Or even Whangamomona (on SH43 between Stratford and Taumarunui) for that matter.

[avenga]

We had an Avenger mini meet down in Hastings/Napier earlier this year and we had an awesome cruise around the back roads. That is why I was leaning towards having it in Hastings/Napier.

[kierbear]

i put hastings/napier but taupo would be my second vote, we have a car museum here (i think its still here), that would be pretty cool

[JoKer]

no more U-drive apparently

[kierbear]

it was shit apparantly?

[avengertiger]

i have been keeping an eye on the forum over the year and note that the majority of the avenger owners are north island based so it would be in your intrest to make it a north island based meet until we weed out the south island owners,in reality its going to be the later end of next year (if even that) before i am an avenger owner thats legal.
so i wont vote in an effort to make it easier for those of you with a car that need to get a venue with ease
hope to make it to an event if possible [

Those without (legal) cars of their own shouldn't have a problem finding somebody to ride shotgun with, I'm sure. Or maybe special exemption could be made for other Rootes or Chrysler models?

[1300super]

Other than me who else has a road legal Avenger in the south island?

[avenga]

Scout's Avenger should still be should still be road legal, but she hasn't been on the forum for a while.

I know we have a few members members in christchurch and a few other places.

I think you are the only regular poster I know of with a road legal Avenger.

Here is a map of the viewers over the last month.

How about New Plymouth...looks like they've never seen any Avengers...place must be full of Escorts!...haha

[79estate]

I would be keen for anywhre in Auckland, but Napier and Hastings is no worries, just would be keen to cruise down with other Avenger people from Auckland, not just by myself, hahah

Cheers Mikey.

New Plymouth is mostly full of Minis. Good option though.

[Nikolai]

Yeah, just like 79estate, I'd be keen for an Avenger meet in Auckland then go for a drive somewhere? Or if it is down South then would love to do an Auckland mini-meet and drive down together..

I'm voting Taupo just for ease of access from Auckland; however it will be in January so probably I'll have more time to go to a further destination..
