The Volvo Ocean Race fleet screamed into Auckland in the early hours of Wednesday morning greeted by a surprisingly large number of boats, myself included. It was 1am and blowing 25 knots so things were a little hairy navigating and taking photos at the same time. Also a test for my camera and my ability to stay…
This weekend was the 5th anniversary of Auckland’s Caffeine & Classics so I cruised along in a buddy’s C5 RS6 Avant with my camera.
I took a bunch of photos a while ago of some buddies zipping around a clay oval on two wheels. Wanna see more?
A few weeks ago I was down at the beach near where I live after work for a swim and noticed a few old American cars rumble past. As I went to leave another string of cars cruised along so I followed for a few hundred metres and came across this.
A buddy of mine is selling his E63 AMG so I took some photos before it goes. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago we took my buddy’s Defender through the middle of New Zealand’s North Island looking for tracks and paths that hadn’t been used in a while and I snapped a few photos along the way.
Last weekend I took the old boy’s 1968 Rolls-Royce along to Auckland’s version of Cars & Coffee and dusted off my camera as I wandered around.
After reading that headline you probably have a couple of questions. Is there really a weeklong event in a beach side town on New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsular dedicated to pre-1972 American cars? And the answer is yes.
And my camera came along with me too. Is anyone interested in reading & seeing more from how we do American cars in the bottom of the world?
I don't think I really need to say much about this. Other than how the fuck did it end up New Zealand!? Regardless of how, I'm glad it did because how awesome is this thing? It claimed five race wins during the 1988 ETCC season as well as the manufacturers crown. Also took pole position at SPA24 in that same year…
Over the weekend I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon photographing the three Porsche 911s you see below. I'll do my best to keep the writing to a minimum because I have very limited knowledge when it comes to these things. From the instantly recognisable smell that is best described as 'hot oil' to the telltale…
I spent Sunday afternoon taking some photos of these three guys. If anyone is interested in seeing more I could put together a little post?
This is the 493hp, 800nm luxurious space ship you have been looking for. Weighing in at over two tonnes it still manages 0-100 kph in under 4.8 seconds. This example looks particularly well looked after and is New Zealand new with low mileage. Both of those are pretty rare for a car like this down here. At $24,900 NZD…
Today’s find is something I’m really tempted to buy. Mileage is pretty high at 150kms but it’s NZ new with the option S-Line wheels. Looks to be well looked after except for the rear bumper marks. How bad are these things on fuel? My E34 540i is pretty shocking already, I assume this is similar. It would tow the boat…
Winding tree lined roads, a stock standard Mitsibushi Mirage, some bread trays and pure driving talent. What you are about to witness is the next generation in Gymkhana.
A 375 horsepower, four wheel drive, manual station wagon. The stuff dreams are made of. I think these are holding their value a little too well given you can get a B7 for $4k more but there is something special about the first generation RS4. This one looks particularly well looked after with a fair bit spent on…
While HP figures and quarter mile times are unknown this thing must be pretty crazy if they refer to it as “the fastest blown street car in New Zealand”. It’s powered by a supercharged 502 big block Chev sitting inside a full stainless steel mandrel bent chassis. The best part about it? It is road legal! Yes, you can…
Some of you may be familiar with the name Nigel Petrie and Engineered to Slide. The drifting world has been abuzz with interest since he began sliding super-low Nissan Silvias a few years ago. However, his focus over the last three years has been on something much larger, something monumental. While his previous…
This is the 6-wheeled zombie apocalypse you need to own. Strap 8 of your friends in the back, arm them with a selection of longer to close range high impact weapons and start causing chaos. You can also store your mortar rounds on the racks at the back. It currently can’t be registered in New Zealand but can when it…
