As is usual for the larger “modern” racing events, the cars that come to watch are of more interest to me that those Australian Taxi’s lapping the circuit.   However this year was a little shy on numbers, I’m hoping that will be remedied by an excessive turnout for the Classic Speed Festival later this month.  Here’s a few that I decided to stop and snap;

FOR SALE

Parked up on the corner of the turn-off to Teretonga Park was this sweet Falcon Wagon.  If I had the cash, I probably would have bought it as long as it wasn’t over-priced.

Another favourite car of mine from around town happened to be attending also, I took advantage of this by snapping a few quick shots;

Sunday drive

Been having more intermittent fueling issues with the KDR30 lately (ever since Japmeat). This time it literally sounds like the factory Nissan pump is on its way out, with its incessant groaning and buzzing. Which is fine by me since I was planning to replace it with a Bosch 910 anyway… but still, annoying.

today the pump was behaving for once, so after a quick vehicle detail I went for a nice leisurely Sunday drive with camera in hand. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of shooting with manual-focus Olympus prime lenses from the late ’70s-early ’80s, and the results have been nothing short of impressive considering all of these optics are over 25 years old. much like the coupe!

I had a visit the other day from fellow oldschool.co.nz member fuel, known for his knowledge and wisdom of the Mitsubishi brand his trip had been the result of a recent purchase of another Mitsubishi for his collection.  Seeing as the purchase took him so far down the country he figured the extra 2 hours drive to pop in wouldn’t be all that much in the grand scheme of things, that being said, he received food and shelter and then departed the next day for Dunedin, though before he left we did a little tiny tour of the typical Invercargill things to take photos with the Mitsi beside, like so…

…and of course how could there not be one with the occupants of my own driveway;

Mitsubishi, Datsun, Daihatsu
