NZ-SXYHDT · 11-06-13, 06:44

jsobey · 11-06-13, 20:31

Ill be keen! Finally won't be working that day

VL-Dan · 17-06-13, 15:20

I'll be along for a cruise

Just booked the day off work

How many people are you expecting? Hopefully at least 10 lol

gasguzler · 17-06-13, 15:55

yep il be coming , provided theres no work on

SIKVLT · 17-06-13, 16:33

My situation has changed massively to the point where I may not make it which i'm gutted about but you guys have a meeting point and I'm sure one of you will know how to get to the beach

VL-Dan · 17-06-13, 17:00

Booooooo, it's just not the same without you Mike

gasguzler · 19-06-13, 17:39

Hey guys, is this still on? just wondering who else is planing on going??, had a look on met service and the wether looks to be ok with a few showeres

VL-Dan · 19-06-13, 20:11

I plan to come whatever the weather in my Wagon

Was keen to bring the GTS....but it doesn't like rain water

Even if there's no cruise to the beach, we could always drive round south auckland in our fully sick VL commy's

Gainsborg · 20-06-13, 10:38

I'm still keen but the VL failed its WOF so will have to bring my VP instead, is that kosher?

can anyone recommend a rust repair shop? It got the usual stuff round the front windscreen, I've been to see Dr Rust in Glenfield who said about $450.

$450 isnt bad mate, but then you'll need new screen if that one doesnt come out nice- budget around $350 for screen unless you are insured?
Get him to give you a written quote so it wont blow out.
p.s- im sure the boys wont mind you taking the VP along.

Yup not like the days of old !

craig · 23-06-13, 12:31

I've noticed over recent years how everyone is really just hanging in there to keep this forum going in NZ, maybe that everyone's getting a bit older and have other things pressing to do ie family etc not sure, but yeah used to be quite fun on this site, still is but not the same that's for sure.

VL-Dan · 23-06-13, 12:33

I guess all the good cruises are in the summer time

Your bang on the money Craig.
It has just burnt out really, people move on etc.
But the thing that pisses me off is guys say yip yip keen as to meet up- or whens the next cruise. ive organised them in the past and hardly anyone shows. So ya kinda get feed up and dont bother anymore.
Think the best one we had (turn out anyway) was one i organised few years back, where we got 18 VL's and few other cars in between. Now that was awesome- really struggle for that these days.
Fair enough alot of the time people are working on their cars and cant come along, i get that.
my 2 cents anyway. end rant.
