Things slow down a bit as the temperature drops and Winter properly sets in. The heat waves of summer replaced with cold greasy roads and fogged up windscreens. There are some, out there though, that are still mad for racing and actively competing. Gravel or tarmac, what ever is on offer. Caution is replaced with adrenalin and pushing the limit.
Rural cows get their weekend show on the public road events, spectating some excellent winter racing. People get out and about to places they may or may not have been to before travelling further abroad, New Zealand really is beautiful with some spectacular countryside. Make the most of the offerings of club the events, its a good selection at present.

A car built with mostly with Morris minor parts
In 1961 I built a car, mostly with Morris minor parts. I used the car until about 1968 when the motor was worn out. I then sold most of the components and gave the body away. I gave it to the son of the guy who pumped petrol at Howe & Weston, name forgotten.
Next time I saw it was in 1995 at the home of an Auckland collector.
Since then it’s had a number of owners, three major makeovers and has gained a degree of fame.
So, where was it for 25 years? The current owner and I would dearly like to know.
We will be grateful to hear from anyone who can shed light on this mystery.
