The second of the photo feature cars from this years Teretonga Classic Speed Fest. This car might look ugly as all hell, but it’s a fantastically cool car at the same time. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to see it on track due to my late arrival. It’s nothing by comparison to the [...]
This car has been at the last few Classic Speed Fests. this time as I was wandering about, it was inside the scrutineering shed and being that it was raining outside, I thought it would be an ideal moment to shelter from the rain and take a few shots of a fantastic and impressive vehicle. [...]
As promised, though delayed (my apologies) I’ve uploaded the photos I took at the CSF this weekend just been. Sadly there’s not too many, the weather was horrible and as a consequence I didn’t get out until late and a lot of competitors had packed up or their cars were tucked away in makeshift sheds [...]
Despite the weather being absolutely atrocious, I did manage to get out for a little while this afternoon once I realised the weather was not likely to improve and I got a few snaps. Not as much as I would have liked but it was cold and I didn’t much fancy being stuck out in [...]
After the entry about the Dukes of Hazzard replica that went all pear shaped, I got all nostalgic for Mopar’s and thought I would have a dig through my various photo albums to see just what pictures I had of such beasts that I could share with you all. These are what I came up [...]
March 13th & 14th! It’s not far away now people. (less than a month!) If you’re interested in this and you aren’t on oldschool.co.nz I urge you to join and get something sorted out. The nationals will involve a track-day as well as a show, cruise, bbq and relaxation day where everyone can just enjoy [...]
Dodgey work by previous owners is one thing. Most people who buy a used or classic car are aware that at some point in it’s life it will have been mistreated, the likelihood of stumbling across that shed find wonder is fairly slim. Both my 1963 & 1973 Skyline, despite some time spent parked up [...]
After Orion kindly posted about the closure of zeppan, I jumped onto their website and ordered what I could in the slim selection that was left. They arrived today, thankfully my boss is Japanese and she happily transferred the money into Takeshi’s account for me. The whole process took no longer than a week, even [...]
IT RETURNS! February means it’s time for the Classic Speed Fest. Invercargill’s portion of the Southern Festival of Speed. An annual event that goes through Christchurch, Timaru, Invercargill and Dunedin. Though in recent years the Dunedin section has been somewhat missed out. They don’t have a track, there’s a street circuit that gets laid out [...]
It’s not surprising that it was missed really, a scene that exploded in Europe and the UK went by relatively un-noticed here in NZ. Reasoning was likely due to the lack of need or requirement. After-all, why get into small, compact, low capacity cars when there’s no insurance or congestion reason to do so. So, [...]
