On Sunday 16th May a large number of 22 Minis and 1 Lotus turned up at Hampton Downs for a fine afternoon run on the club circuit. The weather during the week leading up to the afternoon hadn't been quite so ordinary, but, on the day, the sun came out and it was quite warm. Entrants had been split into groups prior; Beginners/Slower drivers Advanced Race cars As the afternoon progressed the 3 groups merged into 1 group for an open track session. Standouts from the afternoon had to be Trent Dixon in his VTEC Mini and Ray West in Monte, with no cars breaking in the process (our last track day ..read more

Sunsetter Run - 22 March 2021

Our original Sun Setter Run certainly did not disappoint. This year we wanted to mark the end of Summer so before daylight saving took effect it was time to head off to the West Coast and watch the sunset. As we know the West Coast can be brutal, rain, wind, cloud, and usually at the same time. The best sunsets are on clear calm days so it was a bit of a gamble! Meeting at the Auckland Domain cricket pavilion at 5pm we found the meeting spot had been occupied by the re-scheduled Horse Polo event. No matter, some of our members had found an alternative location round the corner of the hot hous ..read more

Another stunning Sunday with a huge turnout at Caffeine and Classics, with Ian's Smoke Grey Cooper drawing the official photographer's attention.  ​And now, a note from the organisers:  Thank you to everyone that made it out to Caffeine & Classics on Sunday. A beautiful day to see some beautiful machines. Well done to the owners and the amazing condition that your vehicles are in. A pleasure to see! We do have limited space at times for these events, so with that in mind Protecta Insurance would really love to keep the essence of the event being for ‘classics’. Vehicles at le ..read more

Dawnbreaker Run - Sunday 24th January 2021

Eight Minis converged on the starting point at the Parnell Rose gardens at early o'clock. Those with a competitive streak were flagged off at set intervals with the remaining Minis happy to adopt a "follow the leader" approach. It was a pleasure to drive round the bays with no other traffic and a couple of the clues around this part proved a head scratcher, as some of the names for the answers were no longer displayed on the buildings! We followed the bays round through Glenn Innes and headed for Musick Point in Howick where Steve had sorted an awesome photo spot (I recognised it immediatel ..read more

"No car wash" run to Hunua - Sunday 14 June 2020
Mini Car Club of Auckland
by

​Sunday the 14th June 2020 dawned overcast and nippy but no rain, wind or tornadoes so the first run since lockdown looks hopeful. The weather stayed in our favour so after lunch a quick burst down to BP Papakura and only one Mini there, Club Captain Adam who had organised the run. Thankfully a few moments later those that assembled at Greenlane arrived followed by more and before long about 22 Minis were lined up to follow the leader to Hunua.  At the debrief we were told that  Watercare had closed the gates to the dams but we will venture to the falls instead.  A short trip ..read more

Economy Run - Sunday 15th March 2020

​We haven't had an Economy Run for a while, which is a shame: today's run was a lot of fun!  A fair turnout of 6 Minis met at BP Takanini at a very reasonable 9am. After filling the fuel tanks and refusing to share our fuel-saving secrets, we gently departed one at a time.  The Muries' route was cleverly planned to avoid traffic lights, and even managed to avoid a fair amount of traffic.  Some of the twisty, scenic roads around Clevedon and Hunua were sheer torture to drive so lightly, though on a couple of long downhill stretches we managed to get up to the speed limit in ne ..read more

Christmas Lights Run - 13 December 2019

‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’ the opportunity to get all those Minis out, cover them in lights, decorations and spread some Christmas cheer. We started of at Greenlane with a turnout of over 20 cars, there was discussion of whether president Steve and his temperamental Cooper would show, but it arrived fashionably late driven by Santa Steve exclaiming “HoHoHo, Merry Christmas” With the convoy all together we head out to our first stop out east. Here we cruised down a street with houses covered in lights and a large crowd of children smiling, laughing and waving as a mass of Minis ..read more
