Stable Talk
A big hello and welcome to September/October 2016 edition of the Pony Express.
Wow! This is the big one. As promised we are bringing you the coverage of the 37th Annual
Mustang Convention which was hosted in Auckland, by AMOC over the Labour weekend. By
now you will have noticed the different cover for this issue. The car featured on the cover
was voted “Best in Show” at Convention. Congratulations to Shane McCullum (AMOC) for
picking up this award!
For many of you who attended the convention, as you flick through the pages, we hope it
re-ignites those memories and special moments of what was without doubt an amazing
spectacle and an incredibly well organised event. For those who couldn’t make it to
Convention, here is a chance to see what you missed! We hope you get as much enjoyment
flicking through the pages as we did bringing this edition to you.
Finally, with the days get longer, and the weather getting warmer (and hopefully dryer), there
are plenty of upcoming opportunities to get those car covers off and hit the road. Make sure
you check out the events calendar on page 14, and don’t forget to register your interest in
attending.
We would love to hear from you so keep the stories, photos and news rolling in.
Wishing you the best in health and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

President’s Note
It is now November and Xmas is fast approaching.
Time to start leaving notes around the house as to
what you want Santa to bring you for your
Mustang.
It has been a very busy couple of months leading
up to Convention and what a fantastic Convention
it was. I am immensely proud of the Club for all
the hard work put into the event and from the
positive feedback coming from other clubs, the
media and general public, we have produced a
Convention to remember.
Ian Waters, President
While the format was similar to most Conventions this year we held functions and
accommodation at a venue never used before, we used a new car show venue and
the Sunday run was to a new area of the country to most participants. The highlight
was the car show venue at the Viaduct which covered 3 floors including show cars,
trade stands and cars of interest. We also had Paul Fahey, the legendary Mustang
race driver visit the show and he was blown away with the quality and size. We had
media from TV 3, Sky Speedshow, and various magazines which have already put
up coverage on their web pages. Auckland take a bow, you have all helped make
this a Convention that will be talked about for some time.
The weather hasn’t been exactly great and one could be forgiven that we are a
country that normally doesn’t have a monsoon season, but we have had some rain
and over a prolonged period. However the Mustangs need to be let out of the pen
and those events we have been involved with were in the main fine.
We had cars showing at Motat’s Fathers’ Day and while there were only a few
cars, the organisers were very happy and are looking to make this an annual
event. The Henry Ford Day in Hamilton finally happened and what a fine day,
record numbers of cars and public, so well done Waikato Mustang Club. We took a
van and BBQ which went down very well with the drivers and passengers of our 18
cars.

Now that hopefully the weather starts behaving we will have a few more events
and the calendar is filling pretty fast. There is plenty happening starting with the
ITM Drivers run up Queen St on the 3rd of November then the Poker Run on the
13th November followed the week after with our annual Xmas BBQ, this time at
Tapapakanga Regional Park. We are again looking at a Xmas lights run in
December and that will wrap up this year.
Starting the new year we will be going to the Vintage Speedway again in January,
a visit to Gibbs Farm on 23rd February. There will be Concours fun runs and car
show on 11th & 12th February and we are trying to organise a weekend away up
North. We are also planning a shed run to Reece Fish’s property to look at his cars
and probably a run somewhere for a casual boot lunch. So lots happening early in
the year.
I hope to see as many as possible at these events over the coming months.
Please remember if you have an idea for an event do let us know because if you
found it of interest then chances are others will also.
There will be no club meeting in January and we will have our traditional BBQ
welcome back for the February meeting.
With the next edition of Pony Express due at the end of December, Jackie and I
would like wish you and your families a very merry Xmas and happy new year.

President, Auckland Mustang Owners Club

All Ford Day
11th September - Hamilton
Stop Press. AMOC wins “Best Club Display” award at the Hamilton (Henry Ford)
Given “Take 1” of the Henry Ford Day at Claudelands, Hamilton on 31 July had
to be postponed due to extremely bad weather, Take 2 certainly turned the
tables. Sunday September 11th dawned, with a crisp, clear, (frosty in some
parts) Spring day, with the temperature soaring as the day progressed.
With an early set off from the usual south bound meeting point at BP Bombay,
and with some 15 cars assembled, we set off south at a brisk place with a long
wheel base, high roof Ford Transit van setting a keen pace.
Upon arrival at Claudelands, the showgrounds were filling fast with at least more
than 200 Fords of all sorts, ranging from original restores to the significantly
modified.
You know you are in the Waikato, when with hundreds of people are attending
an event, but there is never a queue for the toilets which were capable of
accommodating a maximum of three or four people. Potentially a case of be
careful where you walk.
Ian did a fantastic job on the barbeque, possibly too good given many
approaches were being made from the public to buy food from the barbeque.
The “pop up” barbeque was an easily organized, cost effective way of providing
food, and hopefully the first of many more spontaneous drive and barbie runs to
come.
Come 2pm it was time to pack up and make the short trek home. Special thanks
to the members who made up the numbers on the run, to North Harbour Ford
for the generous use of the van, Tony Powell of Willow Gully Murray Greys for
the sensational sausages and most importantly Ian, who donned the apron and
did an outstanding job on the catering front.

Blue September Car Trial to
Leadfoot Ranch
25th September
By Raewyn Townley
First day of daylight saving time sees me up and dressed at what would normally be
5.00am!! I haven’t seen that time on a Sunday morning in years!!
It was so dark outside that I couldn’t even find our old dog to give him a very early
breakfast but he found the food soon enough. A quick cup of tea and we were off to
McDs at Bombay to meet up with John and Pauline for breakfast.
Today is the day of Cory’s Charity Car Trial in aid of prostate cancer. A great cause
for all the men in our lives. I would love to tell you that it is a beautiful spring
morning but I won’t because it’s not! It is very wet and windy.
We all met up at Cory’s in Pukekohe, about 50 cars in all. All types and sizes. Only
3 of us from AMOC. Maybe next year a few more will turn up for this very worthy
cause. Cory’s have raised more than $50,000 so far this month.
We were given a set of instructions about where to go. Along the way, the
instructions said, you will find coloured circles to list on a numbered sheet. We had
no idea as to what they looked like….how hard could it be to find a coloured circle?
Almost impossible it turned out, because they were all SQUARE. A red herring me
thinks.
Our starter was none other than our very own Buck Shelford, a patron of the
prostate cancer organisation. He gave all the men a rev up about getting a P.S.A
(prostate) test done. He himself has been treated for a different type of cancer but
still gets a P.S.A test done each year.
He let us go at 30 second intervals. We were off and trying to follow directions that
had a couple more red herrings in them e.g. two right turns when there was only
one. And like sheep we followed.
Once we were going in the right direction we had to look out for those blasted
coloured circles that weren’t circles. Did I mention that it was raining?
The further into the trip the harder it rained and the less likely we were able to see
the circles we were seeking.
10I’d love to tell you about the beautiful scenery we were driving through on our journey
but I can’t because it was raining so hard. Did I tell you about the rain?
I can tell you about the many newly formed waterfalls coming down from places they
shouldn’t. They did look pretty though.
We meandered our way through countryside we hadn’t seen before. Cattle and sheep
had their very own swimming pools. Its wealthy country down that way…every
paddock had one!!
Our trip took us up over the Kopu/Hikaui Road hill. The higher we went the less we
could see such was the fog…so much for spring. These coloured circles eluded us
still.
A few more hills and a bit more fog and we finally reached the turnoff for Hot Water
Beach Road. The water was so high in nearby paddocks it created a river across the
road. A bit of a trap for those with lowered cars. Once at Leadfoot Ranch we
congregated at the “gas station” waiting to be shuttled up to the Ranch. A steep and
winding racetrack, we were in a van so our driver was a bit cautious.
Cory’s had big BBQ’s set up with burgers, sausages, hot and cold drinks etc for sale.
All going to the charity.
The permanent marquee was where the auction was being held and was used as a
dining room as well. The rain beat down on the roof and the wind blew. Did I mention
that it was raining?
Some items up for auction were not relevant for those of us living in suburban
Auckland. Such things as a septic tank clean and 2 men, a digger and a dump truck
for an entire Saturday morning, but all items were sold and there was some very
happy buyers. At the end of the day we could take home some sauce tomatoes or a
lettuce if you chose.
Inside a wooden and waterproof building was the home of about a dozen or so vintage
vehicles but because of the weather, I did say it was raining didn’t I? We were unable
to visit the sheds where all of Rods race cars are housed. That visit was dependent on
the weather.
We were advised to be gone before 3pm because of the high tide coming in and
covering the road. We just made it out in time the water was up to the doors on our
car. Nearly had to get the outriggers out! They closed the road shortly thereafter.
In spite of the wind, the fog and all that rain that I am sure I mentioned a great bunch
of people came together for a well run charity, parted with some hard earned cash and
had a great day.

Convention
20th to 24th October
Well now the Convention has been and gone, it is
time to reflect on how we went, and first up must
be a massive note of thanks to a whole host of
people:
Our sponsors. Convention is increasingly a
very expensive exercise to run and we simply
couldn’t have done it without our sponsors
from Gold right through to the people who
bought a raffle ticket. Each and every one of
you make it possible to turn on the event we
just have.
All those who attended. As always we had so
much fun catching up with old friends from all
over New Zealand (and Australia) and making
new ones. Attitude is everything and I think it
is pretty safe to say that everyone came enjoy
the weekend – and enjoy we all did!
AMOCers – while it is a small band of people
who do the organizing, it would all fall very flat
if we were not able to depend on the very
willing helpers. To those who stepped up and
put in a couple of hours here and there (some
of you did double duty as well), whether you
were attending the Convention or not, please
give yourselves a big hand. It surely made the
weekend run much more smoothly.
The Convention Committee. We have put in
18 months of hard work to bring it all together
and there was no one happier than the
committee when it worked out as we planned
all those months ago. The feedback has
been spectacular!
16The highlights for me personally were:
Hosting some 300 people for the weekend who all contributed to the
success of the weekend by embracing the spirit that is Convention.
The car show venue – quite simply superb. When we first approached the
Viaduct Events Centre we hoped but did not expect that it would be remotely
within the scope of our budget and were very surprised when it was. With
some extra talking we were also able to secure a large amount of the wharf
area which meant we could accommodate everyone which made it a
magnificent show. MOTORHOOD said it was the best car show venue they
have ever seen!
The people – it is always about the people for me. Somehow Mustang
owners are a pretty good bunch of people and we have some pretty good
fun, whether it is preparing the cars, looking at them at the car show,
competing in the push n grunt, or partying up later in the weekend, somehow
we seem to be on the same page!
The weather – while Colin Reed of the Waikato Club took credit for
organising the weather, I am not sure even he has that much influence. The
weather gods must be huge fans of the blue oval because they surely shone
on us over the entire weekend.
The committee will sign off after we meet one more time to wrap up our files.
Our intention is to leave good records and document templates for the next time
AMOC are hosts, and we will also send Bay Of Plenty a file of information and
document templates to assist them for when they host for the first time.
It only remains to say roll on 2017 and SMOC’s turn again in Invercargill. After
their first Convention in 2011, wild horses (or should that be Mustangs) couldn’t
hold me back from attending their second! Plans are already afoot to again put
together a 2 week road trip, so any expressions of interest would be most
welcome. Please get in touch at margaret@paulmargaret.com.

Live on Paul Henry Show
20th October - A4 Lower Queen Street
The word went out, be at the Countdown Supermarket at the bottom of town at 5.45
am. What was not made clear was that on arrival, we would be greeted by a semi-
naked Warren Hamlin behind the boot of his car engaging in a fairly intense
discussion with non other but Charles Quintal. A few short minutes later, and with
Warren now fully clothed we were on our way to A4. This was not the last that we
would see of Warren for the day as some hours later he appeared to have won the
heart of a woman on a mobility scooter to whom he had suggested they should go
for a drink. And, she returned all fired up and ready to go. For those who have no
idea where A4 is, in old Aucklander’s speak this is downtown Square. Why were we
there? We were given the opportunity to put on a small yet, perfectly formed car
display for the public as a teaser and lead up to the 37 th National Mustang
Convention.
Time check, 6.12 and with all 9 cars in position and ready to go, Aziz, Dougal and
the team from TV3 arrived to take live feeds to be cut into the morning’s Paul Henry
show. Starting with a synchronized engine rev that promised to send some of the
older cars in to an overheating frenzy and for the others the opportunity to set fire to
the plastic oil drip sheets which succumbed to the heat of hot exhausts and cats,
events progressed to Jen, the poor unsuspecting onlooker being lured into the back
of Warren’s car, fortunately not with Warren but instead Aziz to play 9 in 10, and
sadly missing out by only being able to name 7 items commonly found in your
bathroom cabinet.
21After the team from TV3 moved on it was down to serious PR campaigning with the
public many who had been drawn to the display as a result of hearing about it on
the Paul Henry show. The display was a real hit, with Aziz even commenting on air
that he had never seen so many people drawn to a pop up live feed as what he
experienced with the Mustangs. Meantime, back in the studio this was being
supported by an extremely enthusiastic Paul Henry, a Mustang owner himself. We
really could not have asked for better publicity or coverage, with A4 flyers being
handed out by the arm load. An infinite number of photos were being taken. Safe to
say for the 9 cars present, based on the number of photos taken by the public,
social media must be buzzing.
John Lipanovich, a man not easily taken by surprise was fascinated to learn from
one passing barefoot Queen Street vagrant that he was a racer and had put many
cars through an “S” Bend, therefore leaning to the theory that there is clearly more
than one thing that you can race through an “S” bend.
Come 2pm and after many hours standing, and talking to the public, it was time to
pack up. Well that was the case for 8 of the cars. Before going further, worthwhile
noting that the editorial function of this magazine maintains a neutral stance on
most things. However, a certain member, who shall remain nameless found himself
staring a likely “Breakdown Trophy” down the barrel when he found that his battery
was dead and needed the AA to come and replace it. With Tony Powell’s battery
replaced, he to was all set to leave what had been a simply fabulous start to the
events of the weekend.
An extremely successful day, fabulous media coverage and an early indicator that
the weekend car show could be an absolute hit.

The Car Show
22nd October - ANZ Viaduct Centre
As a first time convention attendee, I really had no idea how it was all going to
come together. First instruction be at the event centre by 0630hr so that we can
start loading the cars for judging in the building, the cars for the display on the pier
and allow the key sponsors and trade exhibitors a chance to get set up ready for
the doors to open to the public. One Mustang did not come willingly into the
judging arena, requiring a push to start Glenn Inansci‘s car.
One by one, under the masterful control of Wayne Lack, the vehicles lined up and
came through the doors. With the tyre check completed, they took their respective
place on the exhibition floor. Frantic, last minute dusting and polishing ensued.
With the cars assembled, it was time for the men in white coats to flood the floor
with their clipboards, looking for dirt in wheels, specks of dust in the engine bays,
a hint of road grime on the underside. In a some what Master Chef ‘esque, stop
the clock, stand back from the bench moment, it was time for owners to step away
and let their fate and hard work rest in the hands of the judges.
Outside, despite a fairly chilly wind, the sun was shining, the crowds were out.
On the second floor, a number of sponsors ranging from Mag and Turbo
Warehouse, Kaspar Transmissions to Octane Books had their stands set up. On
the top floor were the vehicles of interest, spanning generations of Mustangs, the
PDL race Mustang, right up to the star of the show, the unveiling of Ian Neary’s
“Eruption”, the 1968 Plymouth GTX, a car that has had some 14,000 hours, which
if monetized is probably close to $1.0M spent on restoration.
More than $5000 was raised in support of our chosen charity, the Westpac
Rescue Helicopter Foundation.
With the show closing at 4pm, and after an extremely successful day it was time
to leave!

National Mustang Convention
Car Run
23rd October - Helensville
The sight, sounds and smell of 150 + Mustangs crammed 3 rows deep in Byron
Avenue Takapuna, the tail extending around the corner into Hurstmere Road was
truly a sight to behold.
The Convention run tracked from Takapuna, up the Northern Motorway, then
heading west out through Whenuapai, Kumeu and onto the Helensville A&P
Showgrounds.
Run leader, Tony Powell, briefed the drivers, and then explained the order for
heading off starting with the “far queue”. A few minutes before 10 am it was time
to start engines and on the hour we were off. With the traffic lights streaming
green the whole way, and despite what appeared to be unusually strong police
patrol presence along the way, everyone made it safely to the show grounds, well
everyone that is except Mike and Kaye Kale who left in their car but arrived in the
Tail end Charlie van, their car arriving on a transporter. Could Mike and Kaye be
our next Breakdown Trophy winners? Turn up to the next club night to find out.
With Mustangs mustered and corralled much to the apparent interest and
amusement of the neighboring herd of Jersey cows, it was game time. John and
Christine Lipanovich really aced it in terms of the imagination and originality of the
games. With the skateboard ball gathering, see who can spell Mustang and sit in
the right place, find your shoes and put them on and the rather odd conjoined
pairs by a ball between two people’s head game completed, Bay of Plenty proved
their prowess, possibly helped by the fact that none of their team seemed to own
a pair of shoes, favoring jandals.
After a leisurely lunch in the sun, it was time to head back to the Spencer and get
ready for the Awards dinner.

A gala dinner attended by aquatic creatures, Titanic Survivors, a plethora of Pirates,
Mermaids, Naval Officers and Seamen even a 1920’s swimming instructor it was clear that
most had come prepared to party hard. Hosted by celebrity Dave Jamieson, the time came
to lift the veil of secrecy and announce the winners of each category of the previous day’s
car show.

Sponsor’s Ford New Zealand - Bay of Plenty Mustang David Roche
Choice Owners Club
With the rapid appearance of the new RHD S550 Mustang in most clubs, Ford NZ Managing
Director took the opportunity to thank the clubs, to reaffirm Ford’s support and despite the new
Mustang already achieving some 1,200 orders in New Zealand, offered reassurance that Ford
was committed to helping maintain values by carefully managing the supply curve. Another
interesting fact, per capita, Mustang ownership is higher in New Zealand than any other
country in the world, the United States excepted. With the formalities complete, it was time to
party into the night to the sound of “Chet and Melissa”.

National Mustang Convention
Closing Breakfast
24th October 2016 - Spencer on Byron
There is a well know phenomenon, that ‘down and deflated feeling’ that hangs in the air
when a magnificent and significant event is drawing to a close. After what can only be
described as a simply sensational Convention, it was time to say our goodbyes and for
everyone to head off, some with trophies, some without but everyone reflecting on the
fantastic time that they had. Assembling for breakfast, the impact of the night before was
clearly evident at some tables.
With Bay of Plenty being awarded both the ‘Best Participating Club’ and the ‘Push ‘n’
Grunt’ award, a final auction, Sheriff Borland’s download of reported incidents, and the
leading representative of each club making their closing remark, it was over to Ian to for-
mally declare the convention closed. A huge thank you has to the organising committee
headed by Margaret Broadbent and featured below.

Supporting the committee were many helpers from within the club who gave of their time
over the weekend to ensure everything moved smoothly and safely whilst at the same
time making sure everybody enjoyed themselves. A special thanks also to whoever
ensured that Convention and the events leading up to it bucked the weather forecast and
gave us endless days of sunshine. We really could not have bought more perfect Labour
Weekend weather.
This coming year sees convention returning to Invercargill and is set to be action packed
with laps of Teretonga Park raceway to boot. Watch for more details after Christmas so
you can get your planning underway.
