New Zealand's obsessive owners of classic American cars, collectively known as Americarna, descended on New Plymouth for 24 hours of revving, laying rubber on tarmac, excessive waving of the star-spangled-banner, and general showing off
I'm no petrol-head or nostalgist, but these cars are works of grand design.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
A Clockwork Orange?
This way...
...and that way...
...to Saratoga...
...de Ville...
...and Dodge.

Nice pics, Pisces. For me a car is a way from getting from A to B where public transport is not an option... A 17 year old Toyota serves that function for us.
The not-wife's brother is is far more into that sort thing and has a 1966 Pontiac GTO and very impressive it is too. I can't see me ever owning one though
Nice pix, Pisces........a slice of Americarna Pie......served up Kiwi style......unusual combo - but I think I like it!
Excellent pics, Pisces. Here the only person who doesn't own a car, never had one and never will.(Neither does she lust for one.I can't tell a car from a horse as my friends say). You won't you, Big Brother, good title.
10 bonus points to redwine for recognising the title of this post.
5 points to jams for owning the oldest Toyota in England.
-5 points to rdg for mentioning the kiwi :]
Don't talk of dust and roses etc
