[Mai Ki-Ki]

Humble apologies!
I was there from 9:30-3:30 with Psychobilly Boi and Lowsquire...

Met 55olds88 briefly..sorry if i was rude, mega drunkt and being called into mates cruisin rod. Nice to meet yah, hope you enjoyed the day!

We went for cruise in my mates 32 Injected Flattie and ended up accidently in the "muffler rap contest" which we apparently won! HEHE
The red 32 with white roof was us!

Much fun all day, not many new rods/customs though.

The BUICk belongs to My mate/tattooist Colin of the Spades...Awesome car.LOVE THE GOLD TOOTH...suits his crazy personality.=]

At 1pm Lowsquire and I had stolen Psychobilly Boi's Model and gone crusin! Lost track of time due to excessive alcohol. But at 1pm the loud model A roadters with no header plugs was us...!

[Mai Ki-Ki]

oh and peddro! damn u! i was gonna buy the smaller of the two tiki's but you beat me to it!

*sulk*

[PEDDRO]

Shoulda got there at 8am then!!

Gav sold 4 tikis....and I bought 2 of them. I'm surprised he didn't sell ALL of them!! Excellent quality. Good prices. Too many tight-arses at these things........

So which one did you buy?

[Mai Ki-Ki]

If i had a job i would have got one of the large ones...as it happened all the smaller ones (which i would have been :just: able to afford) were sold! I wanted the one u got too!

cheers!

Would you believe, they told me it was the fireproof gear I needed to wear for this......

[55olds88]

Thx for the hospitality guys, lousy weather seems to have followed me home !!!! Tkik's were cool, that 34 rocks (as did the Ardun powered one) and there were some kool kustoms there......Gav's Tiki's were cool, bands were great and I ment to get a flame proof like Carps for one of my clients here in NZ http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Might need to steal some more pics once I get mine developed if anyone else has some (for printing in Petrolhead, hope you enjoyed the copies I brought over).
Suggest you get your A into G and book up some cheap tickets for a trip to Auckland for Kuemu Jan 17-18 you won't regret it !!!!
I better get working, thanks again for everything (including the ride back to the digs guys).
