Honk if you’re horny

15 June, 2017

We’ve all been there, sitting at the lights when the car in front waits a beat too long to get underway. No biggie, we give them as much of a courteous toot of the horn as possible. And undoubtedly, most of us have been on the other end of it.

Problem is, there’s a very fine line between a “Hey, look, no rush, but would you mind, um, getting underway soon” kind of honk, and a “What the f*&k are you even doing in there?!?! I’m LAAAATE” sort of honk.

Well, fear not. YouTuber Mark Rober has come up with a solution, and it’s pretty good. A mod for the ages we reckon.

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.

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.
