1,000,000 Facebook fans! Thanks, from NZV8

23 February, 2015

Well, it’s happened — NZV8’s hit one of those great modern-day milestones, and have cracked 1,000,000 Facebook likes.

We didn’t ever think that we’d get that kind of audience when we started the page in 2009, but the million fans bring to us a fan base that stretches across the globe. We’re now getting the local V8 scene recognition not just here in New Zealand, but in countries as diverse as Australia, North America, Brazil, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bulgaria, Morocco, Hungary, and Algeria.

Locally, our biggest local following comes from Auckland. Second place is taken by Christchurch — our thanks to the Cantabrians for flying the NZV8 flag outside of Auckland. Of course, we wouldn’t be where we are without the support we have from all over New Zealand — our thanks to everyone.

Thanks to Repco, we’re celebrating by giving away some great prizes to six fans. The first prize, which will go to one reader is a 143-piece toolkit.

Five runner ups will receive an 80-piece toolkit. All you need to do to go in the draw to win is tell us in the form below where our second biggest following within New Zealand is from. We’re grateful to our fans from across the globe for their support, but we’re only able to send the prize to a New Zealand address.

Take a trip down memory lane by checking out a few of our favourite Facebook posts we’ve put together over the years in the gallery below:

Super affordable supercar

9 April, 2026

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.
