The wait’s nearly over: NAC Car Culture is coming soon!

14 October, 2015

We’re less than a week out from NAC Car Culture hitting a TV near you this Sunday, October 18, at 2pm on TV3. It’s been a long time coming and we can’t wait to show you what badass content we have in store for you. NAC Car Culture is a magazine-style TV show, which means that each episode you’ll see stuff similar to what we feature on The Motorhood and in our magazines, like a couple of feature cars, an insane dream-worthy garage, or an event we think worthy of showcasing to New Zealand and the world.

In this first episode we take a close look at Johnny Burkhart’s ProCharged hemi-powered ’69 Plymouth Road Runner; we have a chat with Malcolm Sankey from Matamata Panelworks, and we soak in the crazy action that the Mothers Chrome Expression Session had to offer.

With 10 episodes per season, and three seasons locked in, there’s plenty to look forward to! If you do happen to miss an episode (because you’re out at an event or in the shed building a monster), we’ll have them uploaded online for you to watch here at The Motorhood, so save this page to your bookmarks as we’ll tack them all here.

Meanwhile, check out the trailer for the first episode below …

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
