More than 110 classic cars, hot rods, rally cars and muscle cars — along with the odd vintage motorbike and caravan — packed central Kerikeri on Saturday for the Kurbside Rodders’ annual street meet. As well as admiring prized vehciles dating back as far as the 1930s, show visitors could take part in a 1950s-themed best-dressed competition, a tyre-changing challenge and rock ‘n roll dance demonstration, or be deafened in the mass rev-up. In the afternoon entrants took part in a mystery run which ended with a prizegiving in Waitangi. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
