Mongol Rally 2017 — Team Coddiwomples

24 July, 2017

The Mongol Rally is underway again for 2017. The now legendary rally from the UK to Mongolia with no route, no plan and, generally, no clue.

We caught up with one of the Kiwi teams competing in this year’s event prior to their departure. The Coddiwomples are a ragtag bunch of fellas with not the most extensive mechanical background.

You’ll find the interview with Seb from the team below. For more on the Coddiwomples and their chosen charity, The Graeme Dingle Foundation, check their website coddiwomples.com

Good luck, boys!

Stag roars again

11 October, 2024

The Triumph Stag pictured here has been lovingly restored from what was once, in the owner’s words, “a horrible, terrible job”. Owners Glynn and Alison Gaston hail from Dunedin and along with their grandchildren now enjoy cruising in the Stag after a three-and-a-half-year restoration.
In 2011, Glynn was looking for a classic car to restore. After 21 years with Air New Zealand he was working as a Super Shuttle driver, with four days on and four days off, which gave him the time to take on such a project — something he had always wanted to do.
“I’d looked at quite a few cars over the years. The idea was to restore a car as something to keep me going. I had looked at different MGs and I would have quite liked an Austin Healey or something similar but they were really expensive.
“Then I saw a Stag and I thought, Ah, this is nice. This is what I would like.

Our cover car is winning prizes

10 October, 2024

The stunning 1958 Buick cover car from our September/October 2024 issue 395 magazine, is winning awards at car shows. Congratulations to Dave and Catherine Parker on taking out Presidents choice at the Tararua Rodders Crome & Custom show. The Buick had to beat some fierce competition to achieve first place with plenty of top quality vehicles on show.
