Braking news: Pit Stop’s reduced-price specials!

19 September, 2017

Time — the one thing we all want more of, but can never have. If you’re reading this, chances are you have a project car — or maybe even a few — taking up whatever time you can spare for the cause. It’s the cars we want to work on that take priority, which can make it hard to take care of the mundane attention your boring daily-driver needs. 

If you drive a 4×4, SUV, or ute, let the team at Pit Stop worry about that — for a limited time, Pit Stop are offering reduced-price deals on brake pads and rotors for 4x4s, SUVs, and utes. 
This offer isn’t going to stick around, though, so make sure you swing by your local Pit Stop, and if you haven’t even got the time for that, all you’ve got to do is visit the Pit Stop locations page here and find out which of the 45 branches is closest to you! 

To book online or see the offer terms and conditions, visit the Reduced Price Brake Special page here or call 0800 748 786.

Aspen Siris — A roadster for the wrong time

16 May, 2024

When I visited George Spratt’s workshop in Auckland, I was impressed with the number of vehicles he had tucked away, mostly hybrid or fully electric. Many of them had started life being petrol powered but George has been tinkering with converting conventionally powered cars to electrical propulsion since the mid ’70s.
The Horizon was George’s first attempt at building a car; it was an evolution of ideas about what was considered to be ideal for a car at that time. The shape and style were governed by the choice of running gear and power plant. The size of the garage restricted walk-around viewing, and it was not until it was almost finished that George was able to push the car out of the garage to get the full picture.
