Blokes open up their magnificent sheds Blokes’ sheds are a place of wonder and intrigue but this month they’ll be a place for exploring. The Life Education Trust’s Blokes in Sheds tour is being held again on September 21, and will give locals the chance to peer into some classic kiwi sheds. One of the sheds that will form part of the tour is Roger and Dave Humphries’, which includes a range of vehicles from Model A Fords to Indian motorcycles, and even army vehicles. In recent years as Roger neared retirement, the Humphries Brothers decided to build a purpose-built shed to store their collection, and give them both somewhere to go and work on their restoration projects. Both Roger and Dave are always on the lookout for something new and different, and are fortunate enough to have the vision and skills to take some thing that looks well beyond repair and turn it into something special. Their passion for many things auto-
motive is obvious when you engage them in conversations around their shed and what’s in it. Roger is particularly interested in Model T and Model A Fords from the early 1920s, whilst Dave’s passion is centred around Indian Motorcycles and Mopar Muscle Cars. It’s not often you go on a vacation to Brisbane and decide to buy a 1940s World War II Bren Gun Carrier, or take your favourite Indian on the annual Indian Motorcycle pilgrimage, yet Roger and Dave think nothing of it. Roger is currently working on the restoration of a 1918 Dodge car whilst Dave is tinkering away on two early 1920s Indians, and they are both keen to see a good turnout for the Tour to share their toys with the community. The Blokes in Sheds tour starts at 10am on Sunday, September 21. To buy tickets visit www.ticketdirect.co.nz, or visit the Theatre Royal or Richmond Mall. Tickets are selling for $15 with children, 12 and under, touring for free.
