Keen. Perhaps a day cruise on Saturday/Sunday? Or a night cruise like when we went out to Bethells and around up to Albany.

Im just gonna sit back quietly and say I will come where ever it is

Yeah I'm keen either way. Could do a dinner meet at Carl's Jr. like we did last time then go for a cruise out west? I'm out this weekend but what if we make it Saturday the 7th of April?

Say if we meet at Carl's Jr. at 6.30-7?

Just a suggestion...

I'll start joining in when I move back up to Auckland.

ok thanks james that makes it easier saturday the 7th at 7pm at carls jr glen innes

Does that work for everyone?

I dont know anyone in NZ with a Miata....

My Roadsters keen if I can find the time. Where were you thinking to cruise/drive? Depending on when I finish work I dont think I can come to Carls but I can drive after.

Also on another note, In a weekend maybe renting out the Skidpan for a twilight session with 10 or so MX5s? $460 for 2 hours and we could do some Gymkhana/ Drifting? Anyone interested?

stink, can't do the 7th otherwise I am keen as for another fang.

A gymkhana / skid pan fest would be a real blast!!! Sign me up, might even convince the wife to have a go in her silver one....

punkoutnz · Post by **punkoutnz** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:35 pm

Skid pan sounds fun, dunno if I can afford that kind of stuff at the moment until a couple of things are sorted.

Miata just rolls of the tongue so nicely though! We could go for a longer drive, maybe do the SH16 loop up through to Warkworth via Woodcocks road? Or Peak road via Helensville?

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:29 pm

I would be keen but even if i had that kinda money it would be gone within seconds

We can make a second meeting point if people cant make it to Carls Jr

Saturday 7th
- 7pm Carls Jr
- 9pm if we are cruising west maybe Swanson Train Station carpark or something

Roadster is classier, I associate "Miata" With bad things from America

Skidpan would be about $40 each if we got 10 or more people, All you would need is a motorbike helmet and some sort of roll protection.

Also it does nothing to your tires except polish them.

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:49 pm

polish them bald... haha no wait thats just with zac driving

But i think miata sounds classier than mx5

So Mx5<Miata<Roadster?

You have to say Roadster like the Japanese do and then its classy

I have been on the skidpan for the entire day and didnt lose a mm of tread, I was Drifting too.

Even my mate doing this didnt lose any tread.

Angreal · Post by **Angreal** » Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:56 pm

In for a skidpan session if my cars going,

Born_disturbed · Post by **Born_disturbed** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:19 am

2 hours, 10 cars. that is a max of 12 mins driving each

Sounds awefully low

But yes dead keen for a cruise, currently have my car all legal and a full tank of gas

MX5>Roadster>Miata

That is why i wanted a NZ new one but settled cause mine was so cheap

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 8:57 am

Thats why I was thinking Gymkhana First the switch it up with a mini track and more than one car but that would only really work drifting.

Growler · Post by **Growler** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:41 pm

Years ago the club used to have regular gymkhanas on grass and tarseal. Unfortunately this doesn't happen much anymore...
I can organise a seperate class for MX5's within the Auckland Car Club when they do thier gynkhana days...but this is only though the summer.

punkoutnz · Post by **punkoutnz** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:16 pm

I'd LOVE to have a go on a grass karna! I did one once when I was about 17 with my mate's dad's hotrod club, sooo much fun.

Mr. Shine · Post by **Mr. Shine** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:26 pm
