Did you get to "Hot water beach"?

That was one of the coolest things we've ever seen.

Haha did you take a spade and dig a hot pool on the beach? Neat eh , haven't done that for years. Last time we were in Tairua, my daughter and I climbed Paku hill, the big one that overlooks the harbour, that was fun, a great part of the country to see. You should put up a few pics somewhere of your trip and the hot rod nationals, seen some magazine coverage - looked pretty cool.                                        Hey hemi-o, give us a shout if you're likely to be at Kumeu, will be over at the Villains tent most likely

If only, starting to run out of holiday time and fun coupons to trade for gas, tobacco and snakes  :lol:

How far down are you? Done the full circuit before and a few fly n drive trips, West Coast trip would be a highlight then down through the Gates of Haast and down to Wanaka.

Shame you didn't adventure further down to the "Mainland", as my door is open to everyone traveling this way.
I have had a few USA visitor staying with us on their travels. Mainly BossCobra Mustang guys, but everyone is welcome as its great having likeminded people to entertain. I own a 57 Chevy truck now so even those guys are welcome  :nana:

Nice Bob glad you had a good time, driving on the road on the left side made me cringe around a blind corner  :lol: Those Schnauzers are the bomb. I remember taking mine on a 4000 mile trip, they love to ride  :2thumbs:

Bob, that's awesome.   :2thumbs:

This is one of the reasons why I LOVE the Hot Rod Power Tour.  Nothing like a vacation driving the car you love and spending time with car people.  First tour was 1,700 miles and the second was 1,300. 

Very cool!

Bob, what a cool trip, thanks for sharing. Some great photos in there. A multi-Charger road trip would be very cool  :coolgleamA:
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."
