Kumeu Carshow Auckland New Zealand

[Bob T]

This would have to be the biggest show in the country spread out over last weekend, I usually head up there on Friday to camp with some mates called the Villains, mainly Mopar and some really rare and cool cars as well, we have a big site and a marquee and do a sheep on a spit on the saturday night, great group of people, took the guitar and amp and a few others brought along some tunes as well. Just great kicking back with a few beers , talking cars and soaking up the atmosphere
Really big area acres and acres for the swap meet and trade stands and all the other car clubs, we had some of the coolest cars there this year and an APC as well. My R/T has been at a panel shop getting the floors patched so I had to get it out and throw the interior in and trailer it to get it up there in time for the club lineup.

Excellent weekend with some good mates, one of the highlights would be parking next to Lukes amazing 60 Imperial Le Baron all weekend, and the rest of the Fin Brothers what a lot of legends in one place .
On with the pics

Hi,

isn't the 72 Fury cop car the one from Marc Montague an old friend of mine who lieved a while in germany?

I also see the corner of a darkblue 68 Coronet RT which might belong to an old english friend of mine if it is an original 426 Hemi car

I have heard of these cars being called tanks but sheesh, looks like someone took it literally and brought theirs. 

Great pics! Hope to visit your country some day. My sister was over there 4 yrs ago and the pictures of the country are just amazing.

Hiya Carsten, Yes, one of Monty's cars, he is well and in good form   , thought you'd pick up on it. He didnt want in on the tank shot 'cause he had a white shirt on  
The blue 68 Coronet is Brendan's 440 /4speed and is not Ian's Hemi legend. Had the opportunity to climb over Ian's a few times, man what a nice car and a good guy too. He's assisted in building some pretty big street/show cars out here, mainly mustangs tho

Wondered if you Aussies would get all barred up on the sheep inference   anyway, the good news for you is we also export em to your country as well
