award to again be hotly contested. We're aware of rods coming from as far away as Auckland, plus there is a contingent of South Island cars coming en route to the Beach Hop. See you here!

If you recall the highly successful "Blokes in Sheds" book you'll have an inkling of what this new book is about. The difference this time around is it has been written by a hot rodder, for hot rodders, plus this new publication is in colour, and a massive 184 pages!

We've had a sneak preview of the book and will definitely be securing an autographed copy for our own personal collection of NZ hot rodding history.

The book retails for $39.95 so in addition to a copy for yourself, it will make an ideal Christmas present.

Hopefully you'll be able to join us on Saturday 5 November. Better still if you arrive in your hot rod!

There is no obligation to RSVP although an indication of numbers would be appreciated as we will be providing, in conjunction with Hedleys Booksellers and Harper Collins Publishers, some light refreshments.

If you'd like to pre-order a copy of the book, please email back and we'll make sure we have a copy set aside for you.

If you can't make it on the day and want us to send one out (remember this is a limited edition book) after the weekend then the total cost including courier is $45.

Email us to order and also advise if you wish your copy(s) to be autographed by the author, Steve Holmes.

Note: All pre-orders are also in the draw for the Ed Roth model too.

Despite the US economy it was the best event for at least 3 years (hard to beat 2008 when we won the coveted Stroker McGurk award with the roadster pickup) with participant and specator numbers well up. Plenty of Kiwis in attendance and great that our small country was again well represented, with the Reid/Payne roadster in the Winners Circle.
Hot Rod Week preceeds the event and gives an exclusive tour of many private collections and shops. Check out our photo galleries on Facebook.

Paul Cosson is an example - we built the chassis and supplied lots of parts for his very cool chopped 30 pickup. Check out the stance in these pics!

We welcome other club visits and are happy to tour the wrokshop. Let us know if you're looking for an activity for your group.

As usual there will be the opportunity to tour through our workshops and see the latest cars under construction, some spot prizes for participating cars(special hot rod/street machine parking available), our charity of choice - Hospice Wairarapa - will be running a fundraiser barbacue, and we'll also be having a mini-Cacklefest with the high horsepower rails of Scott Miller & Michelle Davidson confirmed which should wake up the neighbours. Free earplugs will be available!
Last year Moonshine Rod & Custom took away the Best Represented Club award from Gearjammers, so we'll see who has the best turnout this year.
The event usually attracts cars from as far away as Auckland so plan to cruise along to the fun and excitement. As usual the shop will be open and we'll again have a special collectors edition T shirt available. See you here!!
