Burger Fuel Meet (56k no no)

[Stubs]

Hey guys, not sure if this happens in other cities but I think it's pretty cool so I though I'd post it up.

So Burger Fuel in Napier currently runs Hot Rod nights on the first thursday of every month. It involves everyone meeting up, showing off their cars and then going for a decent cruise around Hawke's Bay.
Not much choice for import cars however so around a month ago the Manager of Burger Fuel and came and asked me to help him set up an import night.

To cut a long story short, First tuesday of every month we now run an 'import x' night. It's sponsored by Burger Fuel, Maximum Performance and the Car Wash Company. We all meet up at Burger Fuel around 6.30 and catch up, have a chat with all the guys then go for a nice cruise organised by Richie Lay Snr. They have prize packs for nice cars that turn up; best car, best rota, 6 cyl, 4 cyl etc and they hand these out before the cruise.

It's actually a really cool night and I am hugely greatful that these companies are willing to come out and give us car enthusiests a hand to do something where the cops aren't going to be harrasing us. Normally know one wants to know about *grumblegrumble* 'boy racers' so It's great to see people that want to support us. Anyway here are some pics of the night. Around 30 cars turned up which is more than I'd expect on a winter tuesday night.

Happens in Wellington too. Well, somewhere in the Hutt anyway. but down here afaik it's a V8-only thing at the moment.

[SLOTEG]

crap, id be keen to take a monday-tuesday off and cruise up for a looksie one time

[4VTECN]

I see WILDR, who owns that now?

[Stubs]

True, I didn't know if any other places did it for import cars.

It was quite a fun time apart from a couple of people getting lost during the cruise. It should go off in the summer, was a bit cold last nite

Wild R is owned by Richard Lay Snr (I think) not sure if Jnr still owns it, could be owned by the company. Snr drives it around sometimes, I don't think Jnr is allowed to drive it atm, he's been getting in a bit of trouble at the pubs lately... That boy is a savage piss jockey

still the same kid im guessing.. or his dad / whoever has the chequebook..

[SLOTEG]

so its actually drivable and not a trailer queen?

[VTAKYO]

I didn't think it was streetable because of the huge spacers? Must have certed it somehow.

Jnr's dad has never funded his lifestyle. Ever since I've known him he hasn't relied on his dad for money. Heaps of people don't like him but he's always been a good cunt to me.

Yea it's fully drivable, It scrapes almost everywhere but yea fully drivable

EDIT: BTW, sorry for the crap picture quality, I got a mate to take shots for me and I've only just had a close look at them

[DURTYEF3]

I beieve he tried to sell itbut couldnt so it went into the shop to become streetable or so i read him saying somewhere. Its daily driven aparently though which is good to see. Just how daily is another question still, i love it

And as far as i know hes actually quite a good dude and his dad doesnt fund his stuff

Edit: beat me to it

[d16a7]

well my bad then.. just what id heard from when was at auto salon through another compititor a few years back.. anyways.. back on topic.. is a great idea.. pity burger fuel is soo damned expensive now...

[MMJA]

Burger Fuel is expensive but so damn good. Considering their Burgers are twice the size of most other fast food places $9-$11 for a burger is sort of justified.

[gazmaster]

Looks like a cool meet. Good to see the Lay's cars out and about.

Sounds like competitor jealousy to me.
Jnr is always straight up, I've always got on with him really well as he is good mates with a friend of mine. Some people like him and others don't, thats just the way it is. He got a bit of help with sponsors that helped fund a few things but good on him.

Just driveable or actually road-legal??

Sounds like a good idea, and I hope other burgerfuels take it up, as long as a few idiots don't ruin it for everyone else...

[BLAZED_RACER]

who cares if he paid for it or not... just give Jnr Props for actually driving the damm thing!!!!

[Stubs]

Um, I assume it's road legal but you never know. It doesn't take much to get a mate to slap a WOF on these days.

Yea it was a really good night, The manager of Burger Fuel got some floodlights so everyone could see all the cars and even got a DJ to come along and play. There were even some nice cars out.

The supra was the best though, its running 500hp atm and can run 700 on 24psi. Josh didn't bring Pats old RX007 out though, I think it's still up in auckland either getting retuned or getting it ready for the track. Something like that anyway. A couple of Evo 8's were out, a worked version 6 Sti, a type R with spoon internals, two turbo R34's worked up EG sedan. There's actually some nice cars down here. The meet is a good chance for people who don't normally go out cruising to come have some fun, surprisingly no dickheads turned up to ruin it

i'll say, definetly be keen to check it out next time!

[Antz]

I think the Henderson Burger Fuel has a v8 night as well, once a month.
I am sure if you talk to the owners in your hood they may well be keen to do this as well or at least give it a go.

I hear some good rumours there are a few more stores opening up around the country so watch this space.

[SK1TZ- EF]

Hutt burger fuel does it wednesday night once a month

Avgas from NZPC organised it when they opened in Lower Hutt

[BurgerBoy]

Glad to see it went well Stubs, and that no one ruined the night. I'll see if I can make it next time.

[mr_tec]
