Petrolhead heaven in Kerikeri
More than 100 hot rods, classic cars and motorbikes — from lovingly restored vintage cars to modern muscle cars — lined up in Kerikeri on Saturday for the Kurbside Rodders’ annual street meet. As well as a chance to look over each other’s vehicles the show featured a tyre-changing challenge, a junk hot rod contest for the kids, rock ‘n roll dancing, cheerleading demonstrations, and ear-shattering rev-ups. Rock band Late Night Meat Sandwich and an Elvis impersonator added to the entertainment. This year’s show was bigger than in previous years with the closed-off section of Kerikeri Rd no longer providing enough space, so car displays spilled onto the Rocksalt car park and along Cobham and Homestead roads.
