To all my New Zealand-based old car enthusiast friends, and also those of you who have just a passing interest in old cars.

There is a petition being circulated that is addressed to Hon David Seymour, the Minister for Regulation, asking him to "remove onerous, expensive and unwarranted regulation related to older, collectible motor vehicles intended for domestic, social, recreational or promotional purposes".

I invite you to view the petition, and if you support it to sign and share.

The petition can be found at https://chng.it/jJ95mNsk75

Please feel free to share this post.

Just had a friend do a small (non car related) engineering job for me.

Lo and behold, his drill press utilises a (modified) Hunter gearbox. With the four pulleys on the drill, the gearbox allows a total of 16 forward and 4 reverse speeds to be selected.

Lovely autumn evening for a spontaneous picnic tea at Woodside Glen.

Our grandson video called and as the Super Snipe came into view he immediately asked "Is that car a limo?"
