Our First Big Car Meet!
📅 Saturday 18th October
🕖 6PM Onwards (Gate Closes at 9)
📍 Pakuranga Croquet Club
We asked you guys where the next meet should be… and you delivered. Out of 200+ comments, we’ve locked in a spot in East Auckland that hasn’t seen a car meet like this before.
This is a community car meet — no more than just a bunch of people with nice cars who want to hang out for a couple of hours.
Expect an unforgettable night of car culture — from Euros to JDM to American muscle and everything in between.
🚫 Strictly no revving, burnouts, or reckless driving. Let’s keep it safe, respectful, and enjoyable for everyone.
This one’s special. We’re celebrating with the community that makes it all possible, and we want everyone there.
Bring your ride. Bring your crew. Let’s make this a night to remember.
👉 New Addition:
Quite a few of you asked what’s happening after the meet. At around 8:30PM, we’ll be cruising out to Mobil Quay Street — the iconic spot. Perfect chance to hang out, grab some food, and keep the night going. For anyone staying past 9PM, just shift your car over one gate before we roll out.
Follow @cloutc63 and @danny.carz on TikTok for updates / any questions. This event page will also be updated with full details as we get closer.
