Hi Everyone

Just wanted to say a big thank you to the club members who went to the
Wanganui Charity Classic Car Show and made John & I feel very welcome. We are
new members to the club and it was our first club event. You made it a lovely
day for us and a wonderful introduction to the club.

Cheers
Vivienne

Hi Ian,

I received loads of help from a couple of the guys on here - I have one
in Auckland (North Shore) that I can show you and help where I can -
Just doing the MANZ paperwork at the moment - so I can show you all that
at the same time.

Chris...
Is your roll cage a weld in or bolt in. Mrk sent me a hep of pics of his
full cage installation. I have yet to ask him which of the 3 allowable size
of tubes he went with - what did you use, and do you know if there is a
weight difference between them?

It was based on Marks design. It is a bolt in (doesn't take long to put
on/off) and is 38mm (The same as Marks I believe).

In regard to weight I have no idea, but having looked at the sizes of
pipe I thought that the 38mm was the best bet - There is no way I would
go any smaller.

Sorry - trying to get the pics - just that works not been too helpful in
allowing any spare time at the moment.

Heck - you can get 10 - 12 hours driving without leaving Auckland simply
by trying to cross the bridge at rush hour - what are you moaning about

Many, many times Ian, but the commute wouldn't leave much time for
personal interests... oh, hang on, 10 or 12 hours driving each way...
sounds right up my alley :OD

[Ian]

Many thanks for that Chris...38mm is the smallest of the 3 diameters
permitted.
Pics in due course would be a big help...from memory, Mike's half cage was
$700 all up. Does that tally with your cost?
