The Classic Car Weekend is an annual event, held in Auckland, that consists of a Fun Run on Saturday and a car show on the Sunday. The car shows main event is the Intermarque Concours d'Elegance. There where 5 runs this year and I opted for the one that finished on the Awhitu Peninsula, SW of Auckland. This Google Maps Link shows the route.

These are some of the other cars that went on the same run. Unfortunately I was the only Atom.

The destination was a Regional Park, by the water, surrounded by rural countryside.

After a picnic lunch, at Awhitu Regional Park, many of us drove further up the peninsula. The roads are fun in a car like the Atom and the scenery, when you slow down, is worth a look.

                                                In the distance you can see water which is a beach I later drove down to.

All in all a great day. However my face got sun/wind burnt to hell. 

Dont suppose a bloke in an old yellow racing Morgan came along did he ? That's my wife's cousin if so.

Not on this particular run. But there were 5 different runs to other destinations all happening at the same time. Morgan did have a group of cars on display at the show on Sunday.

Well if you see one, and its a rare one as raced at Le Mans I think, then he is called Tim and mention me !
