Well seen as not much has been happening lol, who's keen for a cruise maybe not this weekend but next. Maybe a friday night if its nice. (hopefully we'll have a day like it was yesterday and today) And hopefully ill have my car back from the auto sparky. Getting alternator looked at, dizzy, rear windows fixed. get the timing done etc, so get it up n running fine. No more flat batterys! and no more chugging to start it. Then it will be onto getting bonnet sprayed/factory front bar/rear bar sprayed. Have to get exhaust re-bent from about the diff up on an angle a bit. But yea im keen, i'll keep posting further towards the time see what everyone thinks. Get a mad convoy cranking up queen Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Got my car back today everything is fixed, the reset the timing, and did a few other bits n pieces and boy does it boost harder then before! runs perfect now! new battery/terminals, fixed the draw off, central locking and all electric windows been cleaned up. Went for a quick drive to town tonight, not a long one so didn't bother txting anyone soz. So happy with it now Saw a real nice vk and i think a vh in town, one silver with a blower/bonnet gauges and a really nice green over silver vk! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Maybe this will get a few of you out.... Peter Brock Memorial Family Cruise On Sunday 24th September 2006, The Commodore Car Club of NZ Inc is holding a memorial Cruise as a tribute to their Patron, the Late Peter Brock. The cruise is hoped to be the biggest ever run in New Zealand and everyone is welcome to participate. We are meeting at 10am at Alexandra Park's Manukau Road entrance and departing at 12.00pm and cruising through Auckland city including Queen Street before heading out to end at Pukekohe Park Raceway's outer area. The cars will be displayed at Pukekohe and food etc will be on site along with a few other surprises you wont want to miss. We would like to invite those with Brock cars and Brock replica's to take part in a photo shoot at the end of the cruise. Bring the family and celebrate the life of this great man. (Please feel free to send this email to everyone on your contacts list as we dont want to leave anyone out)
