Out n about..

We took a few days off and attended the annual Beach hop on the other coast,,about 5 hours north of here..Didnt register for the whole run this year,,just went and lurked for a change..did some business,and caught up with some old friends,and missed seeing some others(as usual)..Nearly 1200 cars registered for the 5 days..and probably another 100 or two just lurkin,like us..
Saturday afternoon saw a drive north to Auckland to the 7th annual Hot rod Blowout,which is all about our history,and more traditional cars on display,,some built 45 plus years ago.. Here's a little video that one of the guys shot..
HOT ROD REVUE • View topic - Scroungers Hot Rod Blowout

Have a few pages of cars at the Beach hop too..
Will have to go looking for them,,kindly supplied by Ross(kiwi dreamer)

Heres a clip from last year,,courtesy of that famous tube...

Looks just like the show was here. Thanks for the pics

Thanks for the link Robin!!! Some very nice rides and a very nicely done video, too!

Hey Robin,was looking for you Saturday but no luck.Hugh said he had seen you out and about.Great weather compared to last year,was trying to get to the blowout but that didnt happen due to us flying out Sunday.Cheers Roger

Yeah,mate kept an eye out for ya..Sooo many people there this year,and cos we werent registered,and left Saturday arvo,Missed a lot of friends who we wanted to catch up with.:(.Tried to put a link to another site this morning with a bunch of pix from Ross King,but there is a bandwidth overload,and they have all gone..Rats.. Blowout was awesome,,and we will try to get some pix up for everyone to drool over,,sometime in the next day or so..We have a lot on our plate right now,with impending job loss for Lynda,,and not knowing exactly when its happening. Was a good few days(daze) and I might get a chance to go back north to the club champs and the Nostalgia Drags this weekend..Yahooo...**)

The guy who shot the video is a guy who runs another forum down here,and did a couple of short series on the hotrodding scene in NZ,called the Red Shift..Should be a few of his videos on youtube..Will hunt them down..
