Kiwi Muscle Car Club car show Feb 16th

[kiwigtx]

A warm welcome is extended to all who can attend next weekend - Sunday 16th Feb. My truck will guide the way in , and there will be loads of quality MoPars attending. And for those who cannot make it for obvious reasons, there will be a load of pics following the event. :headbang:

This is the show poster....

Hope to see a few of you guys there - bring the family car if the MoPar is not ready. Plenty of eye-candy available on the day.

Just been tidying up the venue today, and also secured some R/C planes and a helicopter for display flying. This thing is gonna be bigger than a big thing. :headbang: Hopefully will get some good video footage as well as some pro photos to share here after the event.

Been out working hard to prep the acreage for the show next weekend. Also found time to check out some of the attractions;

This bad boy is going to squash a car....Mustang if I have anything to do with it

and this tractor has had an engine transplant for extra effect....

I can hardly wait :headbang:

Sadly not. The event is being held at fellow FBBO member MowPar's Ranch. Those tractors and bullies are part of a very unique collection just a few miles from the show venue. More pics and video later...they are really a sight to see and hear.
We took a couple of young travelling American guys over to see the collection, and they were astounded. Wrote about the experience in their blog etc. :icon_thumright:

Look at the grooves at the bottom of the axle below - from the 1935 McCormick-Deering tractor;

Believe it not, those grooves were made by barley straw. Think about how many miles that tractor has done to wear away that cast iron axle like that.

Really cool and the collection is neat. Did you get their blog address?

Very cool, I go to a few old farm shows every year... I love that stuff, actually anything old.
Man I would love to be there for your show, is the mow boy going to be done cutting by then?

I used to go to steam rallies in England when I was stationed over there .. they had steam cars and tractors etc and a load of all years of John Deeres and Massey's etc

You'd be more than welcome to come :headbang: hay-making is nearly done this season, although a couple of jobs came in last week.
We spent yesterday topping and tidying the parking and show areas, just a general tidy up of paddocks that were grazed up until last week. Can't have them city folk getting the shoes dirtied up with cow-pies

oh, and just for information....Lloyd who owns the tractor collection is 80 years old, and happily married :icon_thumright: ....and is more spritely than some 50 year olds I know.

Just read it all through .. that part anyway. You and Cliff are magicians and saved those boys lives to hear them tell of it. Nice going guys

A good friend of ours lives on Lake Roterua, Bay of Plenty area (moved there from England 25 years ago), We are going to be heading your way in the next couple of years, I'll have to make sure it's going to be when your having your show.

Thank's for helping those guys, your true Ambassadors.

Say the word when you are likely to come out....we can arrange personalised transport from the airport :hello2: ...and I don't mean a regular Taxi. Rotorua is only 2-3 hours drive from here, and is one our bigger tourist destinations.
Book your trip for approx early Feb 2016 :icon_thumright:

So how was the show? Where's the pics?

 

[Dako]

Photos please...:happy1:

 

[kiwigtx]

Hopefully tonight or tomorrow....I had a professional photographer capture the cars, and will be making them available here for all to oogle at :headbang:

Show went well though, and over 200 cars passed through the gates on the day.
Here is a video shot by one of the guests (not my video)...
