A Taihape Area School teacher's passion for cars led him to set up an evening class for students interested in the automotive industry.
Immediately eight keen 16-year-old boys stepped forward.
Technology teacher Jason Fellingham said the school was gifted a car to work on, which is kept outside in a
garage.
He said the students will all get to drive it as well as enter events like the Taihape Car Club meet held probably in August.
The students were learning a variety of skills around mechanics, auto electrical, car audio, panel and paint, vehicle servicing and maintenance, driving, and grooming.
