Brucie’s Burblings This last month has certainly been busy in the vintage car world aided by some good fine weather. No excuse to leave that car or bike in the shed collecting dust. The Foxton “Bears ‘n’ Cars” Waitangi day event was attended by about 10 cars from our branch and also the local hot rod club. This will be a fairly low key annual event hosted by the Foxton promotion group. All that attended had a picnic lunch then headed home about 2.30 pm. Some members went to Art Deco in Napier and also had a great time joining the Hawkes Bay Branch in most of their activities. A chance to live in a different era for a few days. We also attended and assisted at the Shannon Supercheap Car Spectacular and some members attended the British Car day. Look for a report in Spark. Coming up fast is the Swap Meet followed by the North Island Easter Rally which we are hosting and then two weeks later we are running the Ted Green Memorial Motorcycle run. If you can assist with any of these events and are not competing please let Des or myself know. Other upcoming events are listed in Spark.
