    cruisenight-smalltown new zealand.

     



    went to the cruisenite in cambridge, north island, new zealand.
    diverse range of cars and people but i found it quite boring after the beachhop.
    a night out tho and the a-pickup went well.

    Thanks for the pics Mark; some familiar cars there.

    The blue Willys coupe in the fourth picture down is all steel, belongs to Gary Pulley, and is for sale.
    A very well built/engineered car.

    So if some of you furriners want to reverse the flow of steel from the US of A now's your chance!

    Thanks for the pics! It's definitely cool to see all these US oreinted cars in your guys's areas. There are some real nice ones too! By the way, that's a really nice A pick up you have too!

    thanks for that ryan.its quite time consuming posting pics but i like looking at them especially event photos from overseas cause you see alot of stuff going on in the background and that gives you a feel for the town or country involved.
    the pickup was along time coming and i had plenty of issues once i was on the road with it but now i've got them sorted i'm happy putting plenty of miles on it.still trying to convince my wife to drive it more as it was mean't for her but she's got a brand new commodore i can't get her out of!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks Mark for posting the photo's. Cambridge is still an awesome picturesque town with it's wide street and the old English Oak trees. What sort of driving time from Smellyroa to Cambridge now as the road between Tirau and Cambridge must be motorway standard now ?
    Going through old NZ Hot Rod books I noticed Gary's old '27 T Coupe is still one fine looking car and used by the current owner down Christchurch way. I haven't seen the '26 Chevy Tourer before and that looks like a top car too.


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    only takes 3/4 hr and a very pleasent journey as well
    cambridge is known as the old peoples town now and is certainly alot more people friendly since they diverted the main road.
    it will be even quieter when the new bypass is finished!!

    Yep, Gary has built some nice cars in his time; a clever bloke.
    Re the tourer: I'm pretty sure that was the car that won a trophy a few years back for 'Best Under Construction', but I've not seen it since.
    Robin may know.
