Greymouth Classic Car Show

This is a long post with lots of photos. Last Sunday the local Hot Rod and Classic Car group held an event down at one of the parks and I, like many others went along to have a look. I LOVE classic cars so I was in my happy place while I was drooling over them all. My favourite was a "Baby Austen" car as my late nana's last name was Austen and because she was the youngest one in her family her parents called her a Baby Austen. Enjoy the photos :-)

These old cars have so much character. It is great to see some people caring for them like this :)

BIG LOVE!
The turquoise one looks exactly like one in Cuba that was always parked opposite our hotel!
The house had the same color, too!
And once in Madeley/Perth there was such a show we ran into by accident, so darn cool.
Fun to see a "Käfer", as we call the Beetle, among them.

I enjoyed scrolling through your pics.
Have a good time and all the best

What a selection of super fun automobiles! There are some overlaps with the US car market, I see, but then there are other goodies that look distinctly British in design. LOVE 'em.

Lots of historical cars - Car shows around here feature cars from the 60's and newer, mostly.

Oh my lord - I learned to drive (aged about 6) in that beige 1950's pickup with the aqua wheels, and graduated to the car in the first picture at 15 when I got my licence. Talk about driving tanks! (Cars last so long in NZ because we don't salt our roads. Some of those would fetch a fortune back in UK now.)

You sure did have a field day with all those cars. It sure was a large gathering of peoples' treasures.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
