Well back in NZ for four weeks and I have put my “Sheryl” hat on and hit the road from Auckland to New Plymouth for the Cortina Nationals!
Rubi is my new ride…1979 MK4 cortina (the red one) and Dans 1982 MK5 (the white one) stopped at Orewa coffee cart at 7am for refreshments for the first leg to the Auckland Bombay meetup to travel in convoy at 9am!
A bathroom stop and leg stretch before hitting the road!
And an added bonus my great friend Carolyn from Brisbane flying in yesterday to join the adventure!
Off we went, four on the floor (yes had to get my manual driving memories from the archives!)
Next stop Otorohanga where we all (about 30 cars) met for a lunch stop …. Then a cruise (about three hours) for the final leg to New Plymouth – convoys came and went between trucks, hay bailers, toilet stops, road works and a few raindrops!
At the hotel to wipe off the bugs and bird poo!
As cortina’s from every corner of NZ rolled in….
We are in for a big adventure!
