Beach Hop Whangamata N. Z.
I know how much you fellas and fellasses like pictures, so........
Here's a link to the Beach Hop photos. This event is still taking place, doesn't finish until Sunday 4th May.
And it's no good looking for any of our cars, 'cos we elected not to go this year.
Beach Hop is not a rod run per se, it's more a celebration of the fifties and sixties, so there's bound to be a few English and European cars there as well.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Johnboy. Many of those cars I saw for the first time in new car dealer showrooms. A few of them I have owned.

More photos have been posted up.......there was only one ugly incident over the whole (long) weekend; some idiot, not a Beach Hop participant, drove into a group of teenage spectators, who were standing in their own driveway, seriously injuring two of them.
And yes, he was drunk.
Why does there always have to be one?
For some more photos of rodding in God's Own Country, (New Zealand,) look here. These are photos of Kevin Perry and Aaron Von Minden's recent trip.
Enjoy.
