Southern Cruise April 28th

[kyteler]

I got the Sunny a WOF and it promptly decided to spring a leak from somewhere. I thought it was the radiator but after I took it out I couldn't find the fucken hole.

Ah well, I'll sort it.

I'd get my brother to come in his S30Z but it's sitting on axle stands with the diff out and I don't see him being motivated enough to get it sorted in time, his VB110 is still in the panel beaters and his daily is a ED Fairmont.

I can't think of any other local Datsun peeps (that I have had contact with).

Whether I can make it there myself, I am not sure, it's a hectic month. I'll let you guys know closer to the time. I got your PM's Vaughn, figured it would be easier to reply in here. The last I heard about the Winton Datsun contingent was that their numbers had decreased significantly in recent years and any time I saw one of the fellows around at Teretonga they tended to not want to talk to me, I guess I wasn't cool/hick enough.

It's a bugger when you are in that nowhere zone, between hicks and cool. It would be great to have you along. I am in contact with some others from south so check back. Hayden may get in contact with the ones he knows too hopefully. This should be epic!

[Bartman]

This should be a hoot!

I am gutted, looks like I won't make it, just found out that my brother is having his 40th the same weekend in Nelson, so looks like I will have to go their instead.

Gutted, was looking forward to some quality Photos.
Anyone else skilled with a camera?
Would be awesome to get some top quality pics of the cars parked up.

Thanx Michael, Good to hear you will have the Sunny Sorted, great to know someone is coming from South, will be great to meet up. Maybe you need to bring your Bro to get him motivated to get teh Zed back on the ground and running.

If you are reading this are you thinking of coming? Are you from South? Can we get a cruise started from your area?
Hayden are you able to get in touch with Darryl and co from Winton and get them involved?
