Smaller can be better
January was an epic month for events. The South and North Island’s biggies, Trillo Metals Muscle Car Madness and Repco Kumeu Classic Car and Hot Rod Festival respectively, were down a bit on numbers but up on fun times – as was the Cromwell Show & Shine. You’ll find coverage of all three in February’s NZ Petrolhead, along with the most excellent MTF Gisborne 2025 NZHRA Street Rod Nationals that had four members of the NZ Petrolhead team entered for the weekend.
The lead feature is a ’61 Galaxie Club Victoria sedan that’s been in the same family for 53 years, and the current owner also has a Mainline, a Model T and a ’39 Ford Deluxe. You’ll also read about a new street sprint in Christchurch, plus circuit and drag racing.
NZ Petrolhead is New Zealand’s biggest-circulating special-interest monthly car mag, it’s still free, and still packed with fresh local content. Pick up your copy from outlets throughout New Zealand, or click on the button to have it delivered (P&P fee applies).
