Hi All
While writing the blog last night we had visits from a number of Hawkes Bay identities, pictures for those who know them will tell the story...
A fairly subdued day, mostly involved in getting from A to B... We left the holiday camp at Napier around 10, with the Sewell's having their faulty generator with an alternator. We farewelled the Wrights from Wellington and after a short stop to gas up we were away across the Napier/Taupo Road. Having said to Samantha (my Consul Capri GT) that this was her last tour day (as we are taking Rosie the Mk 3 North from Rotorua) she decided to have a big fit half way across the Napier/Taupo Road. A huge backfire saw flames and smoke out the rear end, frightening all Capris behind me. She managed to carry on a few km's before coming to a complete stop. A quick look under the bonnet spotted the main positive battery cable lying on the top of the terminal! A simple matter of clamping it down, but the surge has meant I now have no brake lights or indicators (but the rev counter that has been broken for months now works!!)
A photo shoot in Taupo followed and then a quick lunch stop before heading to Roto Vegas.. Both Bruce and the Gnome decided to join us after stating they would head back at Taupo (the tour is infectious)..
A hassle free drive with all arriving at the Lyons mid afternoon..
A quick shot of the "originals" still on the tour is posted as well..
Dinner at the local CT club and then an earlyish night home.. (for me at least, the 2:30 finish at Gnomes Mums last night enough for me!!)
Rotorua sightseeing tomorrow...
