2011 North Island meet? Galaxy of Cars and Ellerslie

[001 Neville]

Unlikely I will be there, guys!

While I managed to arrange my courses to suit, we just don't have $500 odd to spend on the trip up and back. Ferry is at least $150 each way, plus accomm, petrol, food etc. Flights are cheaper, but still need to spend money.....maybe next year? Take plenty of pics for the Forum!

Thats disappointing to hear Neville. Not really worth getting put in the dog box for though I suppose.

Next time!

[021 Chad]

Yeah it's cold and lonely in the dog box...
No worries, we'll document the day for your viewing pleasure.

Thanks to Mark, I have some pics of the joint Vauxhall/Opel Sport stand with OpelForum at the Galaxy of Cars show, hot off the press.























Any more pics, please feel free to post them up here on the thread. They don't just have to be our cars, as it would be nice to get a feel for the scale of the event.

Cheers Mark, it was good to meet you and the other members of VOS. And sorry we didn't hang about to help deconstruct the Gazebo.

I won't be able to make it up this weekend to Ellerslie unfortunately (just to let you know), but I hope all goes well with the planned display.


I'm looking forward to Galaxy of Cars next year, however I think there may already be an event clash as a National/Annual event for another car group I am part of has been scheduled for the 4th and 5th of February 2012, so will just have to see how that pans out.

[005 Mark]

Thanks guys.

Lets see what we can do next year to make it even better than this year?

Hopefully we will have the two new flags to put up at each end of the display?

Sorry, I couldn't make it - I'd just landed at 5am after flying in from Florida via San Francisco, so after 20 hours flying I was simply too tired to drive. I will be at Ellerslie this weekend however in the VXR.

A reminder that this Sunday is Ellerslie. Meeting at 8.00am at Wendy's, 620 Great South Road, Greenlane.
Were not taking part in the concours, so dont worry about bringing the daily driver. The more Opels the better!

[116 Steve B]

I wont be able to make it sorry guys, but lots of photo's please

[001 Neville]

I'll send out another global message to NI members...

[001 Neville]

Chad, Mark?

Have you changed your emails recently as the global email I sent about Ellerslie Show has bounced back from you two?
