Runs

Auckland July, 2008 We really need to order some better weather for these oval runs as this year was another shocker. We had 6 people and 2 cars at the run (including Tony from Christchurch). Given the weather we went straight down to the pub and had some great Belgium beer and sausages.

Auckland July, 2007

It was good to see some hardy souls brave the weather. We had 10 people and three ovals meet under the harbour bridge. Our convoy took us to St Heliers and then up to the Gables for lunch.

Auckland September, 2005

Francis organised this years run. They headed to the Cheese factory in Puhoi and on to a vineyard at Matakana for afternoon tea.

Ovals run free on Independence Day, 2004              

Eight cars turned up this year including three ovals and a split at Model World in Hobsonville. ‘Racing’ up the Albany Hill was funny. Andrew ‘lit the wick’ of his car and Francis and Gary had a drag race between their 52 and 54. This was racing but not like you would see at a track!  Icecream's followed at Coatsville and then we went to Muriwai. Lunch was in the nice old Kauri Gum cafe at Riverhead.

Seven Ovals turned up including a 1954 Beetle Cabriolet at Model World in Hobsonville. We headed into Pt Chevalier and along the peninsular to Coyle Park. It was important that I checked that the lawns had been mowed!  Then it was off  to the Gables for lunch. Strangely, they had the potential to dispense Irish Beer from taps.

Four Ovals met at Mechanics Bay. It was an excellent day to be inside reading a book or watching a movie but not great for a car run. We headed along the bays to St Heliers and then up the cliff (along the road). The convoy continued back the way we had come and over the harbour bridge. We proceeded to Birkenhead and the sugar refinery reserve at the bottom of the hill and on to then to the Refinery Café for lunch. 

Auckland July 8th, 2001                         

Seven ovals turned up (including an oval sunroof). This years run was up to the cheese factory at Puhoi. It is an interesting location where you can watch cheese makers in the factory as you eat in the café. Some of us headed to Waiwera after lunch to soak in the pools and then to Francis’s for a BBQ.

Auckland July 9th 2000                                      

Eight Ovals turned up, (okay two were mine!) outside Whenuapai Airbase on our first run, with  Laurie and Steve Hennum making the trip all the way from Tauranga. We were off to Helensville to the hot pools. We had a bit of an incident on the way, with an oval losing a wheel. It was lucky given what happened that there wasn’t any serious damage. A great day was had by all and it continued into the evening as we headed back to Francis’s for a BBQ.
