With our annual membership due for renewal this is a great time to (re)introduce our old friends, the NZ Federation of Motoring Clubs!

They are an umbrella organisation for all New Zealand car clubs and have currently 156 member clubs, representing a total of over 130000 New Zealand motoring enthusiasts.
FOMC represents the interests of all motorists of NZ, making successful submissions to parliament on matters such as Speed limits, Wof extensions, and many, many more! It is thanks to them that New Zealand's classic car culture is kept alive and well now and into the future.

What a great turnout! 24 cars, if I counted correctly!
So great to see so many familiar faces, and a hearty welcome to all the first time attendees! Share some pictures please, as I only managed these 2 before my battery died...

Fantastic evening! Massive thanks to the team at Auto Restorations for taking the time to show us around! I was thoroughly impressed with the variety and depth of work they undertake! I was also very glad to hear that among the 25(!) staff are several young talents being trained up in dying crafts. Truly a business run by enthusiasts!

Unexpectedly good run today!
8 cars, surprisingly good weather and a great road! Even though we ended up taking some unplanned detours...
See you all next time!
