I'm in Havelock North and there are one or two Corvettes around here but not enough to warrant a meeting as far as I know Perhaps someone from Wellington, Christchurch or Auckland will be along soon with club meet info.

O/T: I'd love to get another one but the prices!! There are two 2000/1 C5 convertibles in Taupo for $67,000 and $85,000. At the current exchange rate you could buy a late model C6 in the rest of the world.
Yes, I could import one but unless I've owned it 90 days overseas and bring it in as a personal import, it'll need RHD converting. Then there is importing special interest vehicles but that has a quota limit and needs approval so it may or may not get in!
Rant over

Will you be in a motorhome/camping or motel/hotels?

Have a look at http://www.hostaccommodation.co.nz/ and if you get 11 stamps in your book, the 12th night is free up to $100. I just happen to be at http://www.hostaccommodation.co.nz/listings/18a6b1... Contact details there

Just out of interest, how much does it cost for a RHD conversion?

Only mild curiousity....
