NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATION LAW AS OF 1ST NOVEMBER 2010
Hi all
Not sure if you are aware of this but a new law is coming into effect on 1 November that allows anybody to get your name and address just by supplying your licence plate number. You can opt out from this by visiting the NZ Transport Authority website and going through a few forms. You will need your driver’s licence to proceed. I’m a bit concerned that someone can see you driving down the road, in your nice car, set...

The collection includes teddy bears, badges, a range of model police vehicles and caps from Poland, Germany, South Africa, Arge...

In 1968 the first of the grey Police cars arrive and the Police vehicles remained grey , with a single red flashing light until 1978, when the new style patrol cars rolled out with the dual blue flashing lights. The blue flashing lights was a departure from the conventional emergency vehicles in that Police cars do not have sirens. It was important, therefore, for police cars to be able to be visually seen in heavy traffic and not to be confused with numerous brake & indicator flashing lights...

After a couple days of non-stop rain here in Auckland and second thoughts about the run to Hamilton we were greeted on Saturday morning by a cloudless sky.
After a meet, coffee and chat at the BP Autobahn we were off to Hamilton to meet up with Kevin who kindly brought out the stunning Holden Commodore VH MoT car. (Kevin also happens to be a former TO).

Tim gets all fired up and attends a ‘Minor’ call-out to experience a special little 1964 Morris Minor 1000 fire appliance
Here at NZ Classic Car I’ve covered a few old fire appliances over the last decade, ranging from a big Ahrens-Fox in an Australian museum to a working Land Rover fire engine in Haast, but I certainly wasn’t prepared to experience one so tiny as a Morrie Thou! What’s more, our featured fire appliance does actually get used by ...

A former police officer is breathing new life into a former Hawkes Bay brothel.
Dannevirke's historic Public Trust building, which gained notoriety during a spell as the brothel Promiscuous Girlz last year, has been sold to the Waikato ex-policeman who plans to turn it into an international police museum.
