From pre-72 American origin to classics, street rods, special projects and build-ups finished only yesterday - it's time again for the hottest show in Northland.
What better way for Northern Street Rods to throw a 21st birthday party the public can enjoy?
To celebrate this milestone, the club is hosting
the Advanced Automatics 2012 Hot Rod Round-Up at Kensington Stadium over the weekend, to showcase the club's own cars, which range from builds-in-progress through to show cars. It will also be the drawcard for rodders and car-lovers from all over Northland, Auckland and further south.
In some cases members have been working right down to the wire to debut their cars, with hundreds of hours spent in workshops over the past few months, club secretary Sharon Paki said.
"Our membership generally sits around the 70 mark. When you take into account that you must own or part-own a car that meets our vehicle criteria, and there are several members who own more than one, rodding is definitely alive and thriving in the North."
