We have a form available on this website to submit information/questions to the Club. Somehow, since about November 2006 these messages have been having a grand old time floating around in cyberspace. Today, with the help of our web maestro in London, they have arrived on my desk! The heartening thing is there were a good number of them. The disheartening thing is I had to reply to them all explaining the situation.
However, they are now redirected to a mailbox that is looked at daily. I will respond to emails as they arrive.
I extend my apologies to all who posted here and got no response, it was not a deliberate snub.

Sunday 18 November saw 18 people turn out to John Cottle’s farm to tear up his paddock - despite the threatening weather. Unfortunately for us, lots of them were from Minis Waikato and the worsening conditions played into their hands. Unfortunately also was that it wasn’t quite wet enough to get to their electrics, Lucas of course, and stop them in their tracks.
The Autocross attracted fewer players but the competition was similarly intense.
A great precursor to the very fast Fiat at Melbourne driven by the Ice Man taking out the first F1 GP of the 2007 season.

On Sunday 18 March the Fiat Club Waikato is holding a motorkhana and autocross. The event starts at 10:00am at 625 Scotsman Valley Road, on your left as you head towards Matamata from Hamilton. There will be signs once inside the property. Cost is $10.00 for each event, or $15.00 if you compete in both.
Come and have a look at the updated bus, skid a few wheels and generally have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere.
Entry forms are attached, bring them along filled in if possible to speed the process.

Ruapuke Road at Te Mata again rang to the sound of ClubSport cars being tested against approximately 2 km of sealed road at the Fiat Club Waikato’s Annual Te mata Sprint.
24 cars faced the starter, with everything from a Hillman Imp through to an AWD Subaru.
A great day was had by most, unfortunately Andrew Durber didn’t finish the day being taken out with mechanical problems, and Lee Sinkinson head butted the countryside in his immaculate Fiat Tipo Sedicivalvolve. Fortunately he was unhurt and the car is fixable.
