Cash for Clunkers, How it SHOULD be done.

Having read on several websites and having seen the outrage amongst retro and classic car enthusiasts in both the UK and the US and with talk of NZ’s retarded mule government just latching on to a global trend like a South Auckland teenager does to US Rap Culture.  It’s good to see not everyone is [...]

A little slice of small town NZ, in the US.

After logging on this morning, I checked my blogroll, as you do, and stumbled upon what at first glance seemed an interesting (but not tremendously so) post on the JNC (Japanese Nostalgic Car) blog.  It showed a RHD Bluebird 411 in the US that had apparently been imported to the US from little NZ of [...]

Wherefore art thou, shades?

from the day I bought my latest AW11 MR2 I’ve been slightly annoyed by its lack of interior t-top shades, which makes driving in direct sunlight a bit of a drain at times (the sunvisors are of limited use).

FJ20 goodies: an illustrated primer on how to make one’s wallet cry

Following on from the OS Giken FJ24 post from the other day I did a bit more snooping around on YAJ to see if there was any other FJ20-related stuff worth buying. And man, was there ever!

RR09

It’s been and gone and from all accounts was as successful as you would expect and that is, entirely so!  There’s many galleries to be seen and stories to be read, I’ll let you do all that on the RR site though.  I thought I’d share just a few of my favourite pictures seen thus [...]
