LOVE NZ Junkyard Fashion Show – 3:30pm Saturday 27th
We introduced this last year and the quality was stunning. So this year we’ve promoted it to the main event at the Kicker Reserve for Sony Xplod Beach Hop 2010 at 3:30pm. All costumes must be made from car parts – used of new. The sky is the limit here so get out into the shed and make something from all those left over car parts. Up for grabs is a wonderful Sony Handycam digital video recorder!
