Central Wanganui came alive on Saturday with the events of the Rivercity Caboodle. The weather was fine and the footpaths full of people, a few of them in period costume. There was facepainting, traditional games, music, poetry, fashion and speeches. The parked cars included a sprinkling of shining vintage beauties and many of their out-of-town owners were wandering and seeing the sights.

Chronicle photographer BEVAN CONLEY had a hankering for a spin in a vintage car. He drew a lucky number and spent the day navigating for Terry Roycroft in his priceless 1925 Bugatti. Terry Roycroft knows he's a fortunate bloke because if it wasn't for his dad's passion for motorsport, then he wouldn't be tootling about in a rare two-seater 1925 Bugatti.
