Great run today on a late autumn morning. Tiki tour through Albany, Beachaven, Birkenhead and finishing up at one of my old local pubs, the Northcote Tavern for lunch. Great selection of cars to get people pointing and waving as we cruised past. Lovely lunch too. Thanks to John and Russel for organising the run. See you next time??

Home from a most memorable beach hop on Sunday. Plenty of rain so I went down on Friday and had to ford a river over the road in the Dodge about 10kms out from Whangamata. Always thought the Dodge handled like a boat, so good to test her through a foot of water for a hundred yards. Saturday and Sunday were very hot and sunny with plenty of cars out and about. Highlight for me was my mate Steve Salmond winning beach hop in his amazing rodded 47 Chevrolet truck. He is a waitoki local and drives his pride and joy down to beach hop for over 10 years. So pleased for him to pick up the recognition for all the hard work and $$ he’s spent on his hot rod. If you see him about have a yarn as Steve’s one of the nice guys in the hot rod scene. Hope he may come along to our open day on the 12th!
