Clutch position error people, so nothing as bad as I initially thought
Good to hear buddy, missed you on the cruise but karnage (wow, love the tyres on the little diesel) took over as pack leader. Thanks for the organisation too Looking forward to the next one. Also, good to place faces to names, had informative exchanges of information...really good group.
Here are some pics...from my iPhone, so not so flash
karnage (wow, love the tyres on the little diesel)
Those Advans are stupidly good in the corners (but total crap for any other driving) but it actually made the cruise a bit boring for me, since the car was just railing most of the turns . Still, they're nicely scrubbed in for the next track day.
Next time, I'll come out on my 'cruise' rims which will be much more fun

It's a LOT of fun sliding the fuel savers through the turns but I found a few torn/missing tread blocks when I was putting them back on. The damage must have been done on a couple of the monthly cruises when I was chasing down/dropping off the Golf GTi's and R's - Polos rock on the Reefton (maybe not on the wet one since the tyres were sliding quite easily)
Since I have my OE rims and tyres, I might as well get use out of them for cruises (love having 3 sets of tyres/rims )

Some pics from saturday, not the greatest. Should have just left the camera in Auto.
Nice meeting everyone, let me know if you plan anything else before the end of the year.
Gav, sorry to hear about your car, hope it can be sorted relatively easily/cheaply.
