The rain didn't deter hundreds from turning out at the Lets Make It Shine suicide awareness Show and Shine event in Whangārei on Saturday.
The event, which saw some flash vehicles turn out for a good cause, was held in the car park at Kensington Stadium.
The event was organised by The Cover Up Project and The Suicidal Car Club and had live music, entertainment and food.
Northern Advocate photographer Tania Whyte went along to admire the machines on show and capture some of the action.
