Piston Head Hoon

[Gator]

Now that we never hear from Kylie (dig) who is putting together the hoon.

last one I went on I had a blast and meet some very cool people (you know who you are)

so who is in charge of the next one?

[Brendon NZ]

Hi Mike....good point, its time for an Auckland PH hoon.
Lets start....how about Sunday 3rd Feb as a date in the calendar..or any other dates?
Whos around?
Brendon

[Brendon NZ]

Forgot the Cannonball is on Saturday 2nd.....and the Classic Car Show the following weekend....other suggestions for dates..?

I'd love to come, but I'm in Australia til the 8th but any time after would be good

[Zadkiel]

We could probably meet up at either of those two events since I'm sure lots of us are doing them! Are people doing the fun run before the concours too?

[hurricane_82]

Especially keen if I get the T350C back before then...

[Gator]

sorry that weekend is bad for me too.

doing first practice run for the Gumboot rally that weekend.

[limezed]

If time allows I'm a starter. Chimera is back to life this afternoon.

[Esprit]

I'm displaying at the concours, so that weekend is out for me.

[Gator]

ok so thats 2/3rd out, 9/10th out.

what about 16/17th

anyone suggest a destination?

or should we just do a run like the last one (well the last one I went on)

down to thames (I think we went)

I think that one might have been to Waihi. All the ones I've been on had a destination. Somewhere for lunch.

edit:
PS. This time of year there will be something most weekends:
Anybody like to add to this list? I'm sure I've forgotten something.

march 16th Automania

[Gator]

what about the 2nd march

[Brendon NZ]

Johnny...good idea to list "Auckland events" over the next 3 months....Off topic, but it makes me think that we should have a list up like this all the time & anyone can add or update it...as is the case with other countries on P. Heads.

March 2 feels a long way ahead....I know super tourers are 16th & 17th...but what about Feb 17th....anyone wanting to see V8 tourers can go along on the Saturday.

Mike...yep, always good to have an end point for lunch and get together....also gives a chance for the stragglers to catch up.

Think we need to calendar a date, then the route/drive/lunch will be no problem.

[Gator]

agreed Brendon (just cheacking am I welcome in my slow legacy? I'm a really nice guy )

march sounds far away but so did jan only 3 months ago and now its almost over.

[Atom Johnny]

Yes Brendon, I though of a live list. Should have one for each region. I wonder if they can be made sticky by PH admin?
Then it's just a case of copy and paste the posts over time to add new items on and drop of those that have passed.
I think continuing posts is best so anyone can update the information.

Mike,
16/17 sounds Ok to me too. I don't even mind if it's the Saturday 16th. 23rd Feb is good also.

hmmm maybe. Can we get back to you?

Could see you in your black singlet and gumboots with a cheese cutter in a little roadster.

Maybe something inexpensive...

so I'll take that as a yes.

Just threw together a map.

thinking auckland to marsden cove the fun way 235km

then home would be 140km

the cafe at the marina is a great spot

If you are going the fun way you'll be going past, the Pizza Barn in Waipu and Seachange Cafe in Ruakaka http://www.seachangecafe.co.nz/
Both also good options for a meal.
