From down here!!
Every month there is a burger run,or breakfast run,etc so we try to combine a visit to some one with an out of town event,doesnt work out that we get out of town regularly,but last Friday,I took my brother in law back to Auckland,[4 1/2 hour drive],so he could fly back to Brisbane Australia,to his family,so I hung around Auckland for the weekend,and went to the breakfast meet north of the city,,werent a lot of cars there,as a lot of the regulars were south of the city at another run..But..heres some shots of what did turn up..
A friend owns this Vicky,rumour has it,that it sat for a number of years [about 16]before Des bought it into the country,his brother in law now owns it,runs very sweet.

Thanks for the comments,the blue deuces owner is a fairly quiet sort of a guy with a lot of talent and patience.He is a member of a group of guys called the Scroungers,who live in the 50s/60s era,the main man being a guy called Chris Piaggi,who spent some time up in US working for an older guy who taught him truck loads about flatheads..All of the Scroungers cars are based on the same era,all just about period perfect,Colins 32 5w is the shiniest of the bunch,but the rest of their cars are as well built,they have to be to pass our stringent certification laws.Micah 6:8

As a point of interest,a bunch of cars from those pics went south to catch the other run,and I saw the pics on the NZ hotrod site last night,about 130 cars,I couldnt do both runs,so the pics will have to do..Micah 6:8

Really nice pictures .......... and some really interesting (and gorgeous) vehicles ........... interesting the mix of left hand and right hand drive ........ thanks for posting these

It is an interesting mix,as you can see,we have had a big surge in vehicles imported from your fair land,a variety of different models,sizes and shapes...We are lucky to have a ruling that lets us drive an older American car/truck LHD without having to convert them to RHD,a move which most of us wouldnt do anyway.We prefer them left hook..There are a lot of rules on later models,but it is complex,wont go there..Micah 6:8

Man, wish it wasn't so far away looks like a heck of a fun get-together....

Dave,we have a lot of fun at the small get togethers,and usually the bigger ones too. Hunt down Jim Shelton in Vegas,ask him how much fun he had..
The bridge??dont go there!!!Just too many problems with the span and the length of the piles,the Samoans dont want huge piles covering their islands,dont know why,
The only alternative is a big silver bird,and ya gotta pay to get on them... But,you know you are welcome down here if you want to sample our rodding..just bring gifts,[a hemi Belvedere will do]Micah 6:8

Lamin8r, you are just plain evil! I don't think I have seen that many cars in one spot that ding my dinger in a long time. And, that '51 Vicky? I wish I was rich instead of so damned ugly, I'd see if I could get 'em to send that one back, maybe along with a few others there, too.
Thanks for the great piccys.Rrumbler, Aka: Hey you, "Old School", Hairy, and other unsavory monickers.
