Wellington Area Meet??

I always feel a bit jealous when I see all these meets up North!!

Are there many Wellington based owners on here? If so would there be any interest in having a meet sometime before the weather forces me to buy a hardtop!

Just a thought.

Give me a month or so and I'll be adding to your numbers down there

Awesome - I see quite a few around and the odd time get approached but most of ones I see look tired and old which is a shame! Will be good have another clean example floating around

Outside of my car isn't exactly clean (cleaner than Furai's though) :p Inside definitely is though but I guess I'm after that stealth look with peeling paint

Sounds pretty similar to my car at the moment... Pull up beside the bogan rollers and they think I'm in just another lowered mx5 and start laughing - that is until their jaw drops as we dissapear into the distance!

fug yez!

I'm in christchurch for a few months, but once I'm back up in Welly i'm definitely keen for any kind of meets/events.

Awesome

I'd happily volunteer myself to organise some meets/events once we get a few cars. Unless of course someone else really wanted to but no problem for me(Good way to pass some time when I should be working!)

Keep an eye out for me, BRG NA - GRU671

Mine's the red one with the loud exhaust and induction sucking noise and flaking red paint.

Mine has a rather subtle exhaust but when you start to hear the turbo spooling up then you know it's me. MazdaSpeed style front lip too. I also have a well co-ordinated black boot!

Don't worry I have no intentions of steeling your identity... Trying to think up of my own personalised plate(Back home you cannot choose so it will be a bit of a novelty!

I wanted FWD so I can confuse people...

my car came with the personalized plate already, but if I was to get one I would go for "DERRP" or "HURDUR"

I'm in Palmy, but would be happy to come to a meet in Wellington. Gonna be tough this week and next, but I'm free on weekends after that!

Cheers,

I was actually planning to head up Palmy ways over the next few weeks as never really driven up those ways.. You guys have many nice roads up there?

"ONDASS" is tempting but then again 899$ is enough for many a mod.... Hmmmmm

Sadly, nothing as nice as the Wellington area. When you head up though, take Paekakariki Hill Rd. in Porirua--it'll hook back up to 1 and is a really fun road that lasts quite a while. I have to say it's a bit more fun going from Palmy to Wellington on that road though, as it's mostly downhill. In Palmy itself it's just a lot of straight back roads from what I've seen, lol. If you keep going a bit and head towards Taupo on 1, then take 49 to 4 on your way back you should have a bit of fun too. I always like driving on 4 and you don't see too many cops out that way. A bit more of a dangerous road that's still really good fun if you're careful is taking Waiaruhe Rd/Owhakura Rd/Whagaehu Valley Rd/Fields Track to hook up to 4 from 1. This is a great road but it's pretty narrow, mostly unmarked, and a bit rough in a couple of areas. That being said it's pretty remote, beautiful, and nice and twisty for what feels like forever. Just beware of oncoming cars as there are a number of blind turns and people will often drive near dead center on that road, lol. Have fun!

Cheers,
-Matt

Head out to the Wairarapa, once you are over the Rimutakas there are heaps of back roads, no cops plenty of corners real main jet stuff
:D

If you use my GPS it takes you through the back roads via some towns I've never heard of between sh1 and palmy

*Edit*

I believe the GPS took me down Otara Road, Mangamako Road, Rangiwahia Road to Ashurst. First 70% of that drive was a lot of fun

Based on the squiggles on the map, Erewhon Road (north of Palmy) looks a lot of fun as does Tiriraukawa Road. I dunno, pretty sure you guys must have some good roads with a bit of exploring
