Itinerary.
Meet at McD’s car park, Greenlane 9:15am. Members on the North Shore could opt to meet us enroute if you head to a SH16 junction.We’ll head on Marti’s mystery tour west to end up at Matakana.A tasty burger and some liquid will help refuel drivers. Chat a bit, then jump back in the hot seat for a fun return journey to Auckland.
What a great mix of marques – Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren & Lotus! Looking at oncoming smiles, it was clear other road users enjoyed the sight as much as we did travelling in convoy. We headed to Matakana for lunch via the wild West.
Thanks to Marti for the drive route that became quite varied – we experienced rain, sun, tarmac and gravel. I think we only had to reset 3 times to get back on the correct route or off dirt and gravel!! To be fair, all joking aside, it was great run and one we’ll do again for sure.
I realized how much fun it is to not be at the front – tagging along with the crew rather than having to be the radar sweep/leader. Marti was really well supported by his co-pilot, son Zac, who gave us radio directions at appropriate times – thanks Zac for keeping your Dad almost on track most of the time!
Please bring along.
