Dave, I'm always keen on a luftgekuhlt road trip buddy and my battery is always charged.

I really enjoyed the run yesterday. Early is better, like maybe even 5-6 am in the summer. Raglan is about a 5 hour turnaround so leave at 5 and home at 10 sounds great.
I'd quite like to go out to the end of the Manukau heads (south side) one day.

Speaking of battery chargers - where is the best place to go to get a trickle charger?

You need to print this comment out and put it on the beer fridge.

Try and buy a 15inch something off Steve? He must have a one-off or pair of something that would be suitable.

CTEK seem to have the most ardent followers. Macca will know where you can buy them.

With the Turbo 3.6 I just used a Repco battery switch. Same thing we use on the 2kCup cars. Hasn't let me down yet with infrequent car use, no need to have the car next to a power point and no risk I'd drive off with the charger still connected.

The commitment is leaping out of that reply....

I have the rim, was wondering weather you can still get a replacement tyre brand new.

This one is for Leong, Last stage of the rally, hot fine day and a flowing stage that is fast. Plenty of time spent at speed then approaching 55-65khp signed corners.

Co-driver Kim is speeding me up rather than calling hazards and warnings as he had on the previous 2 days in the rain.

I'd be keen on an early start to Raglan. Daylight is 14.5 hours long in December. If we start at 5am, I could carry on to Whangamomona, then back up to Auckland via Taumaranui. Maybe try for a 1,000km day. Go cars not show cars.
