Beach Hop 2014.. Whangamata.... New Zealand..

Well,,been away since last Wednesday,to the small seaside community of Whangamata,,for the annual rock n roll festival.. small town with about 5000 population,,which swells to about 60,000 over the course of a few days..Some people spend several days before,,and probably stay a day or two after as well,,to get over it all before they head home,,some,back to the bottom of the South Island..
Here is a link to some of the pix from another site,,and will try to share some more in the coming days..

Yup,,good to catch up..been a year or two..We saw people in pix,,and cars,,that we never saw there,,which I suppose is pretty normal for the hop. hehe..Never caught up with Crock,but saw pix of his pickup,too.. Full on week.. Might have to go earlier next year..and leave later..

None of our car either . . . didn't expect any . . . it has been on the road for so long that everybody knows it and the novelty has long worn off . . .

Not the reason why my truck won't be on ''that'' forum,johnboy..And I'm not even a Maverick...:LOL::LOL::LOL:

And,,,no,Ross,,kiwidreamer.. Money used up.. none left.. work...work...work...:(:(:(

Ba humbug..all good, will catch up at another event :-) I had to work last week, hence I wasn't at the Beach hop :-(

Thanks for the pics, some really fine rides there, must have been a great time!

It was,Dave.. Real kool week..1300 registered cars..about another 200 unregistered,,but cruising where possible,anyway.. There are literally thousands of pics loaded onto fb,,and have shared some of them..Will try and get some of Lynda's on here,,or at least a link,,inside of a day or so,when she has finished editing them..

here's a couple more pics from another guy...

Ummm . . . yeah . . . well . . . 'da man' certainly didn't do himself any favours when the banning notices started getting dished out left right and centre.

We (Mavericks collectively,) took no retaliatory action whatsoever you will have noted.
(Apart from bgc who is a computer whizz, and analysed his statistics for him, man; I laughed about that for days!)

There's only about half a dozen of us that weren't banned; but we're still persona non grata . . . 'on notice' you might say . . .

But you're right; you'll never see our car (or any Maverick car) in anything he has a finger in!

One of our members was asked recently if they could make their vehicle available for a photo shoot . . . and was told (politely) where he could go , and what to do when he got there.
He hadn't realised that the person in question actually is Maverick!
Oops!

:D :D :D :D

johnboy,,gotta laugh at that one.. hey,be careful too,,he frequents this site ..

What's he going to do?
Ban me?

Yeah right!

And thanks for the links!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you guys amaze me with your dedication to US cars! Gotta love it.

Seeing Idzardi's old '36 3w reminded me of all the hits mine got from down that way when I put it up for sale just over a year ago. This hot rod stuff must be contagious.

Bob,,we are pretty dedicated to our American cars and trucks.. There is still a good amount of early iron coming into the country,,and while we have a good exchange rate,,I can't see it changing a lot.. My F100 is officially for sale,now,,so if ya want some back,,you can start with that one... hehe..

So why do you think 'Mavericks C C' was formed?

...and let's not taint anything here by mentioning it again...

Heck Johnboy, you and Robin will have to PM me with the details because I realize I'm pretty slow on the uptake but now I'm completely lost as to who you two are referring too and feel I'm missing out on something.....
