Car enthusiasts gather


Car lovers with hopes of grabbing a bargain or much wanted parts will be racing to Satellite Station Road in Warkworth on February 24. The Wellsford Warkworth Vintage Car Club will host its annual Swap Meet, from 7am to 12 noon. Club chair Leon Salt says the event attracts a lot of enthusiasts from far and wide. “We have people from Hamilton and Tauranga, and some people arrive the night before to get a spot with a stall,” Leon says. Stalls will be selling car manuals, parts and accessories, and up to 50 vintage cars, trucks and hot rods will be on display. “If the weather is good then all of the soft top vehicles will come out and you get some really special cars on show.” Stalls are $10 and are allocated on a first-in, first-served basis on the day. Entry to the event is $5; children 12 and under are free.
