Your free Christmas reading
The last NZ Petrolhead for 2025 has hit the streets, and it’s a Christmas cracker. We feature the Stragglers’ incredible Charity Custom & Classic Car Display that pulled in more than 1800 cars and bikes. There’s super quick coverage of North Shore R&CC’s annual Toy Appeal, along with the Kaitangata Car Show and Waiheke Rod & Custom Club’s 20th anniversary rod run. The drag racing season is underway – we bring you the action from NAPA Auto Parts Dragway, Port Road and Ruapuna. Going to Kumeu next month? You’ll need the in-depth preview to help plan your weekend. All this and more, all for free. NZ Petrolhead is unquestionably this country’s biggest-circulating special-interest monthly car mag, and after almost 28 years it’s still free.

NZ Rodder for Christmas!
The new NZ Rodder magazine is a feast of traditional hot rodding goodness, along with some lowrider-flavoured icing on the cake.
Native Texans brought their ’32 Ford roadster with them when they moved to New Zealand; their story is the lead feature. Chris Harrison’s superb ’bagged ’52 GMC Suburban is the cover story, and is one of three ‘bagged cars in this issue – the other two are a ’54 Chevy Bel Air, and a metal flaked and engraved ’59 Chevy Impala. A ’39 Mercury convertible and a ’36 Ford three-window round out this issue’s in-depth and informative car features.
You’ll also read about an impressive collection of early American rodding magazines and event programmes; an old-school sign maker; and we pop across the ditch to catch up with some kiwis at the 10th annual GreazeFest.
New Zealand’s finest hot rodding magazine is just $30 plus delivery.
