Registrations are now open for the free V8 Supercars Drive-in Movie, taking place at Auckland’s ASB Showgrounds on Saturday, October 31.

The V8 Supercars Drive-in Movie is one of the free events happening in Auckland to celebrate the return of the V8 Supercars, and, as voted by Aucklanders in an online poll hosted by The Rock FM, the movie on the night will be Fast and Furious 6.

While entry is free, people will need to register online in advance here, and display a ticket in their car window. On the night, gates will open at 7pm, and the feature will start at 8.15pm. There will be live entertainment until the movie starts, food and drink stalls, and chances to win great prizes.

As well as the drive-in movie, there will be a day of celebration as V8s take over central Auckland, on November 5, for the V8 Supercars Fan Day at Aotea Square. The V8 Supercar drivers will parade up Queen Street in a convoy of classic American muscle cars, and Aotea Square will have free activities from 10am–3pm, with the V8 supercar drivers at the event from midday until 1.15pm.

Fans can meet the drivers, get autographs and selfies, test their skills on the recently released Forza Motorsport 6 Xbox game, check out high-performance remote-controlled cars, get a close-up look at the 30 muscle cars, and get into high gear for the ITM 500 Auckland 2015. Lucky gamers will have the chance to pit their console skills against champion drivers.

The high-octane ITM 500 Auckland V8 Supercars returns to Pukekohe Park Raceway from November 6–8, 2015, with no-holds-barred sprint action, motorsport racing, and family entertainment.

For more details about the V8 Supercars Drive-in Movie, the V8 Supercars Fan Day or the ITM 500 Auckland V8 Supercars go to ATEED’s website.

Lunch with … Rodger Anderson

22 November, 2024

At first, I wondered if I’d driven up the wrong driveway. The car in the garage was an early Mustang resplendent in royal blue with two broad gold stripes, which was not what I was expecting. I knew that Rodger Anderson, who made his name in Minis and a BMW 2002, was a Porsche man these days — the other end of the spectrum from American muscle. I had no idea of his affection for Detroit iron. It didn’t take long to discover just how passionate this former Saloon Car Champion is about cars, as long as they’re interesting.

Back from the brink – 1968 MGB GT

15 November, 2024

Auckland classic car enthusiast Kerry Bowman soon realised he had a massive job on his hands in restoring his classic 1968 MGB GT. When Kerry and his MGB first appeared in New Zealand Classic Car in March 2021, in “Behind The Garage Door”, the stripped-out shell had revealed some nasty surprises. Once the true extent of the hidden damage was discovered, the work would normally have been handed over to a professional fabricator. However, with the assistance of experts such as MG specialist restorer, Paul Walbran, Kerry has completed an impressive restoration and saved this car from the scrapheap.
