Fasten Your Seatbelts!
Sony Xplod Beach Hop 12 kicks off tomorrow! And already there are plenty of cars cruising the streets of Whangamata and the atmosphere is building up… We can’t wait! For those of you travelling, please be careful on the roads as we want to see you here in 1 piece. Yellow Car Update This little Hot Rod will KNOCK YOUR SOX OFF! Our latest addition to the THANK YOU list is Mark Stokes of M.S Vehicle Certification who has worked with us throughout the make over of the car to ensure it meets the LVVTA standards for use on New Zealand roads. The car is very well built (now!) and a pleasure to drive. It drives like a Hot Rod should – with plenty of grunt! We didn’t realise this, but the Coupe is the 1st vehicle in New Zealand to be painted with the new Shimrin 2 range from House of Kolor – WHAT AN HONOUR! The ground coat is KD3002 White DTS Sealer followed by S2-14 Lunar Yellow mixed with S2-FX45 Metajuls MBC Yellow and this is clear coated with HOK UC35 Kustom Klear. This is a complete new range for House of Kolor and it will be released into New Zealand in about July 2012. The Classic Car Fair Website has had a LOT of interest since we launched it last week and there are some very nice rides for sale! Check it out at www.classiccarfair.co.nz You can register online and create your own listing – it is that simple! And if you are interested in purchasing a vehicle then you can get finance on the spot through the Lending Room. This will become the number 1 spot to buy & sell classic cars in New Zealand.
