Feature Car; 1934 Packard Super Eight

This fine example of a restoration was a participant in the NZ Classic Car Rally that was held recently in Gisborne, those familiar with the RC will have already seen the photos of the event itself (though if you haven’t you can get to them here). Why is the car a Super 8? Well it’s [...]

1958 Volkswagen Beetle

Whilst I was talking to Tim the other day (owner of the Rat Type3) he told me of a recent purchase, that being the title mentioned ’58 Beetle, a week or so later he came into my work again and informed me that he’d brought the car to work and I should go check it [...]

VW Type 3 Fastback

You may recall a little while back I spotted a Type3 Fasty parked not far from my work and snapped a quick shot of it.  After it was posted I received a comment from Isaac, the owner of a Rat Rod, informing me of who it belonged to and where I could find the owner.  [...]

Michael’s New Purchase: The Tale of Cedric

You may have noticed from the post a few days ago that I have a new (old) car.  Perhaps more accurate to say that I have another car.  It seems I can’t help myself though I’m sure had the same opportunity arisen in your daily grind, you’d have done the same thing. For those who [...]

Hi, I’m Michael and I’m a car-oholic.

So, I can’t help myself. The opportunity to own another classic came up, so the daily driving 1994 Honda Accord I’d only bought two weeks prior went up for sale so I could get this; Full feature tomorrow or later on in the week, depending on when it’s clear enough to take some decent shots [...]

Push-rodded, MkI Cortina Estate

As mentioned in the Blossom Fest. Drags post, I caught up with Josh, owner of this fine beast whilst there. I took a few snaps of his sweet ride which I now present to you for you ogle;

That Bug, it changes!

Some of you may remember this Bug from such entries as “Lust for Rust” & “Lust for Rust; Update!” well, now it’s back and LOWER THAN EVER. (sure it wasn’t that low before but the whole buildup sounded cool) I don’t really think these pictures need many, if any, words so here they are. Click [...]

It’s the simple things, like push-rods…

A lot of the time it’s only the minor things done to a car that make all the difference.  The staple diet of almost any vehicle is a healthy amount of lowering to improve road holding abilities as well as the right wheel and tire selection appropriate for the vehicle. Someone who has got that [...]

Supra-charged Vee-Eight!

Some of you will have seen it mentioned if you read these entries a bit, that Ewan of Hayatonka.com, (the New Zealander living in Japan who will help you get almost anything you want from there) has a MkII Celica Supra.  I mentioned it somewhere in a previous post.  A while ago, Ewan sent me [...]
