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!

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.
