briancol 3 Report post Posted January 9, 2013 Hi guys, I'm back. It's been a few months since I've been on the forum, at 66 years of age I'm starting to show my age, but I have been rather ill and ended up in Middlemore for a while. Then we moved out of our house so that it can be redecorated and sold, and there was quite a gap between leaving the house in early Nov till we moved into our current place late last year, so I was without an internet connection for a long time. Anyway, everythings sorted now and I will be back on the forum on a regular basis in future. Seems like we have quite a few new members? Must organise a get together so that get to know each other.

briancol 3 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks for all the kind posts. As far as a meet goes, I would prefer Waitangi Day as I have a cruise to go on with the BMW Car Club on Anniversary day. So, where and what? Put up some ideas and we'll get things rolling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2093 Report post Posted January 10, 2013 A change from the norm and away from the busy parks/beaches and traffic? Would almost need to be a short trip out of Auckland I think. Anyone have any secret spots for car park ups? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have any secret spots for car park ups? We did a drive out to I think it was KawaKawa bay few years ago. Brian looked right at home at this pub we found, had a mint fish n chips store next door too and massive car park. =D Edited January 11, 2013 by Young Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian looked right at home at this pub we found, had a mint fish n chips store next door too and massive car park. =D Due to previous incidents, there will not be a cruise,sorry. However I'm all for meeting up somewhere and perhaps have a BBQ. Places like Cornwall Park are out of the question. As previously said, there are too many people around and the BBQ's are crap there anyway. Personally I think Central Auckland area is the best so people don't have to drive too far, but is there a nice park with plenty of parking and hopefully decent barbies that any one knows?

briancol 3 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) I'm afraid someone else will have to arrange this meet as I'm not the best at the moment. I have my good times and I have my bad ones as well and I've slipped back into a bad time. BTW. The BMWCC have changed the day of their meet to Waitangi day, so if we are going to have a meet, then Anniversary Day would be better. 1Rotty, are you back in NZ yet?
