Are there even 10 pubs left in the CBD these days? Could be a long ride between drinks!

Let's just say that our CBD is like our bellies....a little more expanded these days. Hope for good weather.

Yes it is. Not as many parks there as I thought so we may have to improvise with the number of cars coming! Leaving there at 9:15am latest.

Hey fellas. Awesome to see the number of people coming

I am 50/50 at this stage as my partners grandfather collapsed this morning and is admitted to hospital. If the tests come back positive tonight i will be there. If not, unfortunately, i will have to miss it AGAIN.

If i cant come i may still make it out to amberley in the morning to say gday to all.

Dawning cloudy, cool and only a little wind in Christchurch. Met Service forecast for North Canterbury is dry but very windy (100kmh plus!) after 10:00am. We will need to watch for debris on the roads and keep good following distances.

Yep, already windy up here in North Canty, but not a cloud in the sky at the moment. It's a cool Nor' Wester, so be prepared.

Look forward to seeing the procession head into Ambertown!

Glad i made it along to Amberley to meet some of you fellas.

How was the drive? Did any one manage to get some shots?
Unfortunately i didnt get to meet/chat to a few of you guys, i was too busy yarning with Luxo about wheels

Good turn out though. Good job all!

Run was brilliant. Good to meet some of the ppl on the forums. about 1 million photos taken. will let the pros upload them.
Car ran really well. First long run for me in it. Learned some things about it, like "Aftermarket rear bumper" that i didn't realise i had

Saw Luxos bumper mod and very impressed.
With 8 or 9 350s it was interesting to see that no 2 were alike. Each had their own personality. Was good.
Netrovers yellow Z stood out like a beacon.

Very jealous of the heated seats in ?Robs Z.
Looking forward to next cruise.

We had a great day, thanks guys. Managed to make it home without breaking down or catching on fire so that's always a good way to end a cruise!

It was a great day and good to meet everyone. Was my first long run and loved it, still learning the handling and pushing the brembos! Yea I loved how there were so many zeds but all very unique. Heated seats were a luxury on the drive home when the rain kicked in. I wonder if the v8 ss holden has forgiven me and luxo for blasting past in the passing lane

Think we should try catch up more often.will try upload pics.
