Motor rollers at Whangamata

By VICTORIA BARTLE

You may not guess from the title, but the Whangamata Beach Hop is all about classic hot rod cars and rock'n'roll music.

More than 400 classic cars will converge on Whangamata on the Coromandel Peninsula this Friday, Saturday and Sunday with the musical support of seven bands. The family-orientated hop raises money for water safety.
