bronzee Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yesterday we cruised about 90kms north of the city to a place called Mangawhai which is a stunning surf beach township. Lovely roads up north, reasonably quiet as the last day of the school holidays, so everyone had already headed home. Had a lovely lunch, a nosey in the pottery gallery next door, and also most found the need to go to the chocolatier around the corner. :yum: A couple more pics. It was certainly a very colourful meet. Outside the Smashed Pipi. A few more pics here in better quality, taken by one of the guys. http://www.zclub.org.nz/viewtopic.php?t=1776&start=15 After here onto the beach as above for photos, then up Cove Road, to Waipu right along the coastline, back home via a quietish route. Absolutely gorgeous area, very twisty roads, only narrow & corrugated! A test of skills. If you have a look on google maps if you're interested, put in Mangawhai, New Zealand, or Waipu, New Zealand.

bronzee Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks all. Was a lovely day considering it's not Autumn here. Lol, give it another month or so and you lot won't be so jealous (relative NZ terms ) & well in July/August. ps. Elfman, we did quite well. We had a 240z, 260z, 280z, Z31, Z32, Z33, but no 280zx (this time) or the little 1967 roadster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 (These pics might not be too snail internet speed friendly). A few photos from Sunday. Please excuse the camera skills. No Japanese tourist present this event to take decent pics. This event we did a trial/rally for part of it to the house you see in first few photos. Pit stopped there until everyone arrived, then we convoyed to Kaiaua Fish & Chip shop (or fosh & chops for those of you that know the Kiwi accent) for sustenance, which is about 100kms south of Auckland city over roads that would rival anything in Wales or Scotland, but the surface is probably more challenging, much tighter and quite steep and lots of roadkill to dodge. The weather was pretty fantastic considering it's Autumn here. It rained for about 20 minutes first thing, then glorious the rest of the day, & about 20 degrees. At the historic Clevedon house we pit stopped at for the end of the trial, before continuing on for the run to Kaiaua. At the Kaiaua Fish & Chip shop. (ps was saved the correct way around, photobucket had other ideas). Too many cars in carpark for any decent photos of the other Zeds & shadows from a big fence. The Zeds posing after lunch looking across the Firth of Thames to Coromandel. Sorry no pics of the other stop at Pokeno that is legendary for ice cream. The place was much too busy for any decent Zed photos there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
