We have had a fabulous event here in my home city New Plymouth, New Zealand. We had over 700 cars show up, it is a celebration of American cars, we get entries from all over New Zealand. This year, Meguiers were the major sponsor, and Barry Meguier was here with his Car Crazy film crew. We had 4 days of sunny hot weather from Wed February 24th through Saturday 27th.
Unfortunately I could not get around all of the TriFives this year to take pics, so I have included some video so you can see what the cars are like, and other interesting background (real US old cop cars)
