Here's details of the next Auckland car show that we attended last year. The general feeling was more relaxed than Ellerslie, and the cars that attended were quality cars, however more the type likely to be used on a daily basis ... ie not trailer queens that fill the Ellerslie event. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you like, but seemed like normal cars were on the fringes.
This show is on 4 March, 2018 from 10am-3pm and set up from 8am. The event is outdoors, so you do run the risk of weather not being great on the day. Just need to bring a range of clothing to cover your options! Plus a deckchair is useful too, as it can be tiring on your feet all day. I'll take the gazebo and banners. Maybe the display boards if I have room to bring them.
Let me know here, or on Facebook, if you wish to bring your car(s). They don't need to be perfect, but clean and legal is good!
Paul is taking a step back from organising the event as he has sold his Astra coupe, and so is unable to bring a club car along, but he hopes to spend some time on the stand with us if he can. A big thanks to Paul for his time and energy organising past events for the club, and is storing the display boards for the meantime while they are not in his way at home. Hopefully we can twist his arm into buying another Opel in the future ...... eh, Paul?
A very merry Christmas to all members, and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Keep on Opelling!
