Hmm, sounds like July 4th in Dunedin would be a good one for the Opel Forum as we have a few people down there now! Will try to get the Rekord back on the road for then.

The Commodore project is still on ice until I can have a really good look over and under it before compliance and certification....

[001 Neville]

Do you have any contact details for Dunedin, or should I speak to Cliff Trainor?

[002 Lindsay]

I would give Cliff a ring that would be best ive taken it out of my news letter ive just got,things can change sometime,its normally at the Eadger Stadium ,out Andy Bay.

[001 Neville]

I've spoken to Cliff and he's still waiting for details himself. I'll have to try and contact the organisers sooner rather than later as the event is indoors so space will probably be limited to those clubs who have attended previously.

Are the Dunedin members even interested in attending? If you are, I'm happy to try and get the space. Will attend myself, 95% certain!

4th July, so will be cold even inside..... you'll probably need your thermals.....

[001 Neville]

I've been underwhelmed by responses so far, so have emailed all Dunedin members for a response. The invitation is of course open to all members who may be interested in attending. . . but I need to know please

I'm still waiting to hear about space... but will cancel that if no-one fancies going anyway!

[002 Lindsay]

Hi Neville yes it might be a bit far for me dont mind closer to CHCH see how it pans out theres also there 25th Birthday celebrations coming up and thats a weekend 10th July and our new granddaughter is due the 12th after a false start last week witch saw a hurried trip to CHCH for duties,so will see. cheers.

[002 Lindsay]

Had a good run with Toyota MR2 club last week lunch and a tour of Omaka and Peter Jacksons vintage aircraft a really good day,took the Monza and it was lonly again as no other VX members turned up. Another run this Sat too Murch so hope we get a bit better turn out,though the forcast doesnt look good,but you can always hope.

Having contacted some members directly, it sounds as if we may have a club attendance! .....

I've got space for 4-6 cars been allocated, and the red/white/blue theme is not compulsory so that's a relief. Can people confirm if they are able to come asap? Would need to be in position on the Friday 3rd by 8pm ideally, but there is an option for Saturday early before 8am otherwise....

Let me know please.

Hi Neville I'm still happy to put Danielles vectra GT in if you want, I'm taking my pug106 down for the otago sports car club as well.

[001 Neville]

I'll take you up on that, Ken, please.

Lindsay is down from Nelson with his Monza, I'll have the Rekord, and then it's whatever else I can rustle up locally.

Ryan was talking about coming along with one of his Monzas, and Graeme with a Calibra, so we might make it up to 5.... not heard back from Megan.

[033 Ken]

Sounds good, I'll bring along my opel flag, but we may need some promo girls as well, haha.

[001 Neville]

Show went pretty well, with a good range of cars present.

I took lots, but will have to wait until next weekend as I left my camera in the Monza when it broke down in Dunedin
Alternator died on me, so managed to arrange a lift home, and had to leave the keys in the hands of a local AA recovery guy for repair locally and will now have to go back down next weekend to collect!

Away this week in Christchurch, the opposite direction.

[001 Neville]

Ok, Monza home again, along with my camera and show pics, so here goes.... one very cold hall, a real mixed bag of cars of all ages and styles


4 members cars

Overall, a good show and will hope to get more local members attending next year.......????
