Mark 178 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Hey all... here are some shots from today's Autofest at Hagley Park. I just went along for the morning session and rally run up around the Port Hills through Gebbies Pass and Tai Tapu and back to town again. It was a great drive and good to see what the 325 can do through the twisty stuff! I didn't head back to the park after the rally run... but I did drive past and there were plenty more cars parked up for the afternoon. Cheers must go to the organisers too! Hope it happens again next year. My girlfriend's favourite car of the day... the new S5. This 2002 Turbo had to be my favourite car of the day. Beautifully presented, love the Alpina wheels! Two M50 powered Bimmers side by side!

Mark 178 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 In the back of one of the photos you can see a RUF enhanced 911.... very cool. There were a couple of Carrera models there, but I'm not that famliar with Porsches so there may have been others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Looks good, thanks for sharing. Was the E36 with the unpainted ACS front bumper with what looks like a CF hood packing anything special? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lordandrevv 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) hey guys I've been as well, had a really good time. Here's all the pictures I took at the park: Nice little race E30 And another nice racing E30 One of my favourite BMW's there, the white M3. Talked to the owner plenty (bimmersport member) A done up E36, probably the only one that sticked out that much lol One AWSOME 2002 Turbo :-D A great 8 series, love those cars The 8's interior The Porsche group (morning) The VW's (morning) Probably one of the most amazing cars at the meet And its interior An Merc S500, probably the most expensive cars at the meet (not sure what some of the old ones are worth tho), this had a tag of about 300 grand!!! A 335i from the BMW dealership And a few shots in the BMW group Heading out At the cafe at the halfpoint of the trip Back at the park in the afternoon E36 Alpina E28 M5, a real classic Another very nice looking E36 And some more group photos in the BMW section And finally my car and my mates S80 Volvo (i know, not german, but the guy just loves all kind of euro cars, and we hid it next to a tree, out of the way lol) Now you might be wondering why I don't have any pics of the drive. That's because I have a video of it (the good parts like hills and fastish roads anyway lol) I will edit it a bit, and add some soundtrack to it and try and upload it somehow :-D Overal it was a great event, with lots of cool cars and I hope it will be held again next year, with hopefully even more cars. Something I would have loved to see was a old school 6 series (e24), or even better a M6!!! One thing I was happy not to see (especially in the BMW group) was the Mini Cooper, I don't like them lol from what I unerstand they are not manufactured in Germany, so it wasn't inveited to the party anyway lol Edited October 27, 2007 by lordandrevv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 BMW don't manufacture the X3, X5 or Z4 (to name a few) in Germany either. The BMW Mini is a great little car. The blown one was a little noisy as a convertible though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw you when you were on your way out, I was at the gate talking to the guy with the white M3 (can't remember his name right now lol). Cain Posted Today, 07:41 PM BMW don't manufacture the X3, X5 or Z4 (to name a few) in Germany either. The BMW Mini is a great little car. The blown one was a little noisy as a convertible though. I'm not a big fan of the X's either lol Z4 on the other hand....lol. I know the minis are a great wee car, I just don't like them for some unknown reason Edited October 28, 2007 by lordandrevv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Sounds like a plan! But is there a way to tell all the cyclists in Christchurch to keep off the hills on the day of our drive? Damn idiots almost killed me and themselves on more than one occasion! I mean, who rides two abreast on a road barely wide enough for two cars? /end rant!

I had to basically had to throw out the anchor out the window to stop in time, in order to avoid choosing between hitting a biker and a head on crash. It funny how you come around the corner with the tires screeching and see them jump in the gutter lmao Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
