    Hi there people.

    I have visited the Hamb many times but never got around to joining.

    Now I'm in with both feet first.

    I am a member of Classic Rides Whitianga, Mercury Bay, NZ.

    I drive a 1950's S model International pickup truck with SBC ZZ4 and TH350. Has a VH (Aust) Valiant diff. I manage to keep it on the road most of the time with it's original suspension and brakes doing the job.

    I know quite a few other Kiwis who are also Hamb members and I guess I can expect some flak from them being the newbie here.

    Looking forward to getting (and sharing) some useful information.


    Cheers

    Welcome Grabel! My Aunt and Uncle were from a small town near you. They and my cousin now live in NSW near the town of Newcastle. He's not a Hamb member but he sends my bro and I Ausi car mags. I love IT!

    OH and LEEBO I like what you've done to your Dodge, NICE!.

    Isn't it cool! New Zealand's most recognised, and famous, cop also happens to be a Hot Rodder! Brilliant piece of Television commentary courtesy of Graham recently - "Some halfwit wearing a turban, fake beard and toy gun tried to rob...."

    Welcome to the mad house Grabel.... you'll fit right in!

  10. I cant take credit for the dodge, it was built by a lurker (Russell Freer) the dumb ass got the shits with it and recently sold it to friend of ours for $7000 way too f###in cheap. The cars now all painted, but hes gonna spoil it by putting modern rims on it
