It was GREAT to meet people off the forum.... so now for some Thank-Yous
Big Thanks to Riki for organising the trip... I know it was frustrating with people not commiting - or committing and then pulling out at the last minute but it was still an awesome weekend.... cheers
Thanks to Corey for spending big bucks on getting his car ready in time and showing us what a turbo can do for the RS200! (and thanks for taking us out for a spin;))
And also thanks to everyone else there.... Andrew (red mica brother), Carl (super 6), Alistair, Craig, Riki, Toby + Jeff (Hamner boys), plus the Cromwell locals in the 3rd yellow Altezza who joined in (Cant remember their names:()

alimac - February 4, 2008 08:42 AM (GMT)
I'll start here with a few shots from the trip down. We went by a road known as the Pig Root, apparently because in the days of horse drawn wagons that's what some of it looked like.

Place on the road called Dead Horse Pinch. It's where horses frequently died in harness and had to be cut out and buried

The road at Dead Horse Pinch

The White Horse Hotel at Becks
The Clyde Dam

Corey and Alistair catching the moment at Cardrona Hotel

Lineup at Lake Hawea... the cloud is all gone.... SUN!

The boys and their Tezzas... South Island REPRESENT!
But who put that damn Mazda in the background?
Acebot - February 5, 2008 10:14 AM (GMT)
Corey boosting.... DAMN that thing can fly... hence why we put him at the back of the convoy.... kept him out of trouble :D

Riki and Craig cooking the BBQ

Ok due to popular demand... form all of the ladies on this forum.... here are the individual photos.....

Ok that one above was Carl....
This is Toby..... maybe next meet he can finish his beer before his Dad has to come to the pub rofl

This is Andrew... he was supposed to supply all the girls for the weekend.... failed miserably.... although did manage to offend a local lass within 10mins of being in the pub :lol:
