Kumeu 09


Nope the Honda did not drive up the Mini's bum somebody stuck it there. The Certification guys must have had a nightmare!!

I am not sure if I can really get into the whole Rat Rod thing??

Sooo ugly but sooo grouse...

MMMMmmmmm??????

Cute BUT $55,000???

Coool old School.............

All week the soothsayers who study bumps on heads to predict the upcoming weather were saying showers on Saturday.... surely not after all God must be a petrolhead. I started my pilgrimage to Mecca.. sorry meant Kumeu very early to avoid the queues ( everybody knows how I love looong sloooow moving lines) looking towards the West the sky looked very very dark and I thought "Oh no... God does not exist!!"
Even at that hour of the morning the queue to get into the front exhibitors gates was stretched from Kumeu township to the Riverhead turnoff but the back entrance was a breeze. 15 bucks to get in has got to be a cheap day out?? I was blown away by the number of people there at 8 in the morning.. twice as many as last year.
The trade/swap meet was twice the size of last year and the show has certainly grown huge in recent years... will it out grow Kumeu is the big question... I hope not. Over the years the variety of cars,trucks, bikes etc has changed, once it was purley rods but now virtually anything goes. As usual the people at the show are just as interesting as the cars... Westies yep you have to love them!!
Thankfully the sun was covered most of the day by clouds because it would have been unbearable hot other wise.
I stood behind a young couple in one of the few covered display areas, as they oogled the 60s and 70s cars he said " Man cars were so much more classier in those days" She replied " F##K YEAH" I chuckled to myself think "Yep the women were a bit classier as well"
Kumeu we just have to love it......
