Heading into the weekend I thought I’d find a few things to try help motivate myself;

Inspiration
Nissan Zama Museum
November 27, 2009
Those of you that have been around the interwebs a while will be no doubt familiar with the various Zama photographs that have been put on various forums about the place. Though I always found them annoying for the most part. You would see a car beside a car that there was a photo of but then no photo of that damn car! They walked right past it!!
Just now I stumbled upon this page, it’s by far the most complete even though it might not include everything; Garage 43 – “Offline Meeting”
Here’s a taster…

More Labour Weekend Antics, Hawkes Boes ’09
October 30, 2009
So, whilst the Datsun community North and South did their thing, the oldschool.co.nz community also had a bit of a get together. Being oldschool caters for as many vehicles as are made, the variety is exquisite though it can always be improved upon so if you’re into old cars then be sure to join up to the forums and participate in as many events as possible. Keeping in mind the next oldschool.co.nz Nationals will be early next year (I’ll advise of specifics in another entry at a later date). Though I dig all the vehicles in attendance, I do have some favourites. Top of that is this little sucker;
Lee's 1951 Ford Coupe. Magic.
Lee was the man with the plan, the one in charge of organising the Hawkes Bay, Labour Weekend Gathering that’s affectionately known as Hawkes Boes. He had helpers of course and so thanks goes out to everyone involved for providing what sounds to have been such a fantastic get together for all involved.
Enough blather from me, onto the pictures of cars, dammit! (more…)
TX3 summer shakedown
October 24, 2009
Any excuse for a roadtrip, right?
this thing.
with summer just around the corner and my TX3 just about ready to start rattling its way around the streets again, I’ve come to realize that it’s never been any further south than Taupo – therefore I must remedy this, and soon. As it so happens Tom is returning from the UK and is having a celebratory BBQ in early December in Taupo, so barring any catastrophic failures between now and then I plan to have the car well back on the road fully bedded in and running a fresh tune by that date.
anyway, I’ve decided to spend the next few days after the BBQ driving to Wellington and back again. That should give the TX3 a nice healthy shakedown, and also shut up all the friends down the line who keep complaining that I’m overdue for a visit…
