Thread: NZ car show

Tweet

Put on Speed Channel this morn and Meguiars had a show about New Zealand and some very neat cars, hot rods to classics to muscle cars. One portion showed a car show put on especially for Meguiars, there were 100s of cars there. Hoped I would see some our members cars from NZ but if they were there I missed them. If any of you were there lets see some pics.

I caught that episode again, it's been on a couple of times now. Those New Zealanders love cars just like us Americans do.

Yes,Keith,,we do,,..If it was the AmeriCARna show,,Lynda,my wife and I were there,but they didnt show our old F100 truck,they camera crew walked past it,but it wasnt their style.. HotrodTodd was there too,but with his wife,and without the T bucket..Whiplash wasnt there but probably wished to be...Blowby served up the thread on NZHRM site,so we had look at it on there a few weeks back..If you saw the old guy with the 32/3w,he got that as a body only many years ago,and has restored it totally..

Thanks guys,

Before that show I had no idea the extent of the Rod Scene in New Zealand.

Our rodding scene probably started in the late 50s,with a few articles in the Popular Mechanics books that were available back then,with juicy articles about the hot rodding up in your country..Since we had to make everything from scratch for a good many decades,because of import restrictions etc,its been known as Kiwi Ingenuity... I wont bore you with too many details...but if you want a closer look at the lifestyle/industry we have down here now,,google Rods by Reid
Magoos street rods
Rocket Speed Equipment
NZHRA,
There are an ever increasing number of privately run events as well as Hot rod Association events/rod runs,to the point where if you could afford too,there is something happening just about every weekend,somewhere in the country,in fact,we have,in the past,sat down and decided where to go,up to three or four months in advance.The North Island events quite often clash,so its always a problem..

Thanks Robin,

Went to all those sites, what a show. Wow! BTW, gotta know, is there a Old Zealand back in Great Britain?
