Page 5 28/02/2019 P51 I saw this Roushe P51a Mustang at NZ Warbirds open –day last weekend, it belongs to a member of the Auckland Mustang Owners Club, a pretty friendly bunch they are who had some cars on show. Roushe of Nascar fame, fly’s a P51 Mustang himself hence the car version, equipped with a Roushe charger it has 510hp and looks pretty impressive. A 2008 model of low mileage only 151 were built.

Page 7 28/02/2019 Summerset Retirement Village Ay 3ike CrumpH3y mum is an inmate at Summerset Do.n The Lane on Dixon Road, Fit roy, and prior to Christmas had been talking to the entertainment organiser .ho men:oned she .as keen to come up .ith ne. ideas for events. From this the idea .as sprung that the Waikato 3ustang club may .ish to visit, sho. o@ their cars and take some of the oldies for a drive. En Saturday 19 th January club members C.ith 12 carsD met at Summerset and spent an en1oyable couple of hours interac:ng .ith the old folks. The response from them .as great .ith the visit s:ll being talked about the follo.ing day. Comments from passengers: Ene old chap .as not that keen to go for a ride but then .as talked into going .ith Paul. En geKng back to Summerset he said enthu7 sias:cally Lthat .as bloody marvellousM but then realised he had s.orn in front of a lady standing close by and o@ered an apology. Eli abeth told the story that she once o.ned a Skoda. When her kids .ere gro.ing up and she dropped them o@ at school they asked if she could drop them a block before school. They didn8t .ant their mates to see them in the Skoda. Ene old fella said he .asn8t interested in a ride as the cars .eren8t Chevs. 5l:mately, he did go for a ride and he thought it .as great. Glad he had gone. Page 8 28/02/2019 Summerset Retirement Village ANer a couple of hours at Summerset some of the club members .ent to the Good Neighbour for a beer and food. Club mem7 bers agreed it .as a great aNernoon en1oyed by all. Eur esteemed treasurer, Aob, suggested it .as something .e should con7 sider doing annually. Not sure if this .as humanitarian Aob or Aob 1ust trying to get a discount on a room0 Food for thought. The smiles tell the story O. Thanks to all from the club .ho came along to support the day.
