Garry and Joe have 100's upon 100's of pictures plus videos.  Joe is madly uploading some to photo bucket and I'm sure he will have some up shortly.

I have seen a lot of car shows & been on several all weekend car events, but I have never seen anything like this event. With over 1780 cars entered for judging along with 8 rock & roll bands playing through out the street not one bit of violence any where it is amazing there would have been well over 3000 American cars turn up for this weekend just an amazing weekend it is somethinbg that words will not explane you have to go & see it for your self will add some photos later.

;w where do I start the weather in NZ was fantastic and the event just blew me away once again. The quality of the cars over there is just out standing all the venues were so picturesque and looked even better full to the brim with US muscle here is some pics to get you in the mood whilst I sort every thing out lots and lots to come.

Hi nice to meet you and glad to have you in NZ as our guest!

We are pretty happy with how the show went - but can always improve things. Next year, our 10th, will be even better!

Just a small correction - we had 20 bands perform.....

Have fun!

I wish we could have something similar here! If it wasnt so expensive to transport a car over there I'd take the Vette!
