Events; NZ Classic Car Rally – Gisborne 2010

As mentioned in the preview at the tail-end of last week.  This event was held over the Gisborne region during the last several days.  From what I have seen from photographs it proved to be an event worthy of attending if classics are your thing and they are most certainly mine so it will be [...]

Event: be a chop, 2010

Daytripped down to Whangamata on Saturday afternoon to experience the festivities of the 2010 Hop. The atmosphere reminded me slightly of New Years’, except with more old people present and far less police making the rounds.

NZ Outlaws Stretch

So, the latest little ramblings and whispers over the last few months seemed to indicate that there was legislation en-route that would stab right to the heart of those that love stretching their rubber (oh mai!).   Well, this is the document that’s doing the rounds at the moment and it most certainly puts pay to [...]

Obscure Trademe gem: 1987 Mazda Familia Infini

At a glance, it looks like any other 3-door Familia of the era; even the listing title doesn’t really give away the fact that it’s a front-drive turbo model. I would have skipped right over it, had my caffeine-deprived brain not caught up at the last minute and realized what it actually was. Sure enough, [...]
