Thread: Hot Rod Todd from New Zealand

Hi Todd, Your bucket sounds like a hand load to handle in a fun sort of way..Looking forward to seeing photos of it please. My bucket is still waiting patiently in the garage for to get well enough to go and work on it. Oh, Lamin8r got me onto ths site too,Would be long then us Kiwi's will out number the others....

I sent some photos thru to Robin & said nice things to him so he may post them on here.

I have raced the bucket over the past 5 years, at Meremere, Taupo and Masterton. Shifted it south 18 months ago and melted the engine so hoping to race Ruapuna mid March.

Ok,,a bit of greasing later,,,here are some pics from HotrodToddd...









And last but not least,this is what happens when he gets a bit close to another car while driving his wifes Toyota powered steel fiat Topolino

Thanks Robin.

My mistake with the Topolino was most unfortunate. The insurance people had to get the replacement nose from Switzerland and then get it modified to fit the car.

The bucket is getting some wheelie bars to go with the bigger engine, and Im wondering if I need a Wild Willy style wing on top of the cage.

But its really just a wild street car. The altered project will get the junkyard alky 477 BBC, a 671 and a 4 port Hilborn. And one of Robins T bodies that I just happen to have sitting around along with a tired turtledeck.

That nostalgia racing bug bit hard!
