Thursday's run to the Famous Grouse in Lincoln for lunch.
OR:
The tour of the STOP signs.
It was a lovely winters day. Sunny and not to cold standing around at the Wigram Museum carpark waiting till the briefing at ten to eleven.
19 cars and their hardy crews lined up at the start. The run was organised by Graeme and Merle but unfortunately they couldn't be there, so Kit stepped up and gave the talk.
11.00 am and off we went. Following the well written instructions.
And then!! Stop signs; lots of stop signs. Hence the title.😉
We all got to the venue and Danny was happily sitting there waiting for the team to arrive.
The Grouse has a very good lunch menu. Except for one who wanted breakfast instead, no names. But he drives a home made sports car.
All in all it was a great day out, with a great bunch of people.
Lets see what Graeme has planned for us next month.

Well Sunday the 2nd of August. What a great winters day. The sun was shining and we had a run to go on. What could be better.
Grabbed the laser out of the garage and headed off to the Wigram Museum carpark to meet up with all the other hardy souls at 10.30 am. 18 cars and some 37 people met at Wigram a few others went direct to the venue
11.00 am briefing done and the route to Daimond Harbour chosen, away we go.
Some elected to go via Dyers Pass others via Gebbies Pass.
We chose Gebbies. Less cyclists and no ice.
The Gebbies route took us around the back of Tai-tapu on a few roads less travelled, fantastic scenery, and hardly any bikes.
We arrived at the Two Thumbs Brewery and found that it was a busy place. Great food and good sized portions
Thanks John and Karen for a lovely day

Thursday's run to Taitapu
18 cars and crews left Spitfire Square heading to Lincoln and Taitapu via Rolleston way.
Encountering road works along the way.
A bit confusing at times with a few resorting to traveling on the wrong side of the road. And others taking detours.
But we all arrived and settled in for a lovely lunch, with chatter going on.

SUNDAYS RUN to the Flaming Rabbit in Lincoln
20 cars and crew including some prospective new members.
Leaving Spitfire Square we meandered all over southwestern Christchurch and townships.
Going through some subdivisions we have never been before.
Arriving at the Flaming Rabbit about one and a half hours after setting off.
The restaurant had plenty of room for all.
Exellent food. And a bonus for the Gold Card holders; a good menu for them.
Zac had organized a visit to a motor collection for after lunch.
Hopefully someone can write a report on the collection

03/07/2026

Evening all.
This just in from Zac
It could be an addition to the run after lunch.

Hi there, I’ve plotted this Sundays run. I’ve organised a car collection visit after the lunch for those who wish to attend. There is a $20 cost per person for this so just wondering whether we could please put up a facebook post with prior warning so people have the opportunity to get cash if they haven’t already. Many thanks, Zac.
