The new Dodge Charger is superior to its predecessor in looks. Tackling curves with the right amount of oversteer makes it fun to drive

Manfeild meet hits 40

August 2, 2011 in classic cars, Hot Rod Events, Hot Rods, Swap Meets

An event that perfectly captures cool car culture has transformed heaps in four decades – as has the sport of hot rodding – but its popularity remains solid.

Next Saturday’s (August 6) gathering at Manfeild stadium is the 40th swapmeet and hot rod display run by the Palmerston North Hot Rod Club and is a world away from the first.

“There were just six sellers in The Square in Palmerston North that first year,” recounted club president Tony Denzel.

And last year’s not only was the stadium packed out, but so too the extensive carparks, while the crowd was simply too big to count.

The 2011 meet, sponsored by Chuck Restoration Supplies of Auckland, will be equally mega, attracting thousands of enthusiasts flocking from throughout the country.

A hundred display cars with 40-plus trade stalls are indoors. Outside in the carpark area a whole lot more sales tables with new and secondhand automotive parts, plus more hot rods on show in the arena area.

Car lovers put pride and joy on show Local Gold Coast News | goldcoast.com.au | Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

August 1, 2011 in Car Shows, Hot Rod Events, Hot Rods, Muscle Cars, Streetmachines

TWO car shows on the Gold Coast over the weekend drew lovers of two vastly different kinds of vehicle — MGs and muscle cars.

At Worongary State School a collection of muscle car enthusiasts brought their dream cars along to share the love and compare grunt levels.

One of them, Warren Neal, became a car enthusiast by default.

His son bought a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang 18 years ago, but while the car was still in pieces he moved to America.

“It just sat in the garage in pieces for so long, I decided to start putting it together,” he said.
