NZ Caffeine & Classics

It was good to see a third Bedford at Caffeine & Classics today and a mint looking GMC delivery.

A few pics for those who are interested.

I did have to look twice at those white-walls-on-black-wheels= v. nice!
However, are they cross-ply tires?? scary
And what diameter are the wheels?

Yep, cross-plys, 14 inch diameter but they've got some astronomic profile on them. He reckons it handles surprisingly well. Steering nice and light and reduced his fuel consumption by a wee bit too.

Rotti posted a link to oldschool.co.nz which featured that van a while back. It was in the music video clip.

Yeah Hobbit, Stu and I took our vans along to the old school burger night last Wednesday. They are a good bunch and we will probably hang out with them a lot more in future.

Caffeine & Classics out at Smales Farm on the North Shore next Sunday for any Aucklanders who are keen. Ray and his family are driving up from Hamilton for the day in Bluebird (sadly without his trailer). Bas and Stu are coming along too so we are all looking forward to catching up.

I might even be able to coax a few of the Transit boys in to coming along.

Gordon, still all on?

Hey Bas, It was good catching up with you and Ray today. Pity the weather was a bit wet.

Yea, a little short but better than nothing...
