Yes Robin, now you mention that I believe a certain '32 Roadster from the Hawera area has been trailed to a show or two but then the owner does have three children plus a wife to find seating for so I can except that. There is probably others but on the whole, we New Zealanders do drive our cars.

Oh, shall I go get that rusty razor blade out of the tool box now ?

Yup..rusty razor's good,Mark..Yes,,Grant's roadster only goes in the trailer if he's leaving town,though.. The other guy who does the same,,is in the same club,,and is a single guy...and.. they are not NSRA members,either,,so the record is still clean....

Well hell, there is no excusing that single fella as I am amazed looking at the faceache page at the old photo's of Vandal being driven all around both Islands and it was and still is a top build car . John Reid is not only a top builder of Hot Rods but drives the heck out of his creations.

Mark,,the single guys excuse,was...''the roads around South Taranaki aren't the best''..hehe.. yeah,right.. No different to the roads in the north,either...

That must be bullshit Robin as when I was down there last I enjoyed the roads and to this day, as soon as the Bucket is back on the road and I don't have Mum to look after, I will be driving down the " Forgotten Highway " in it and the other place I have never explored is the coastal road all the way around Mt Egmont. Oh, sorry, Mt Taranaki.

Wow what a great variety of cars! Thanks for posting all the pics! I have to say my favorites were the gasser Willys, the funky Edsel wagon and the studebakers, only because I don't get to see those very often!

It is,Mark..It's his little excuse,though.. And,,,yes,,,correct... Mt.EGMONT...
The coastal road is a little boring,,and if ya tackle the Forgotten World Highway,,take some extra gas with you,,150km without a petrol station...and no cellphone coverage,,means you could be whisked away by the ''natives'' Hmmm..Duelling Banjoes comes to mind...
