Beach Hop is a Huge car Festival like Summer nats in Oz , But has more of a Hot rod come early american muscle car contengency that go but in the last few years more newer cars make the pilgramage to Whangamata to take part. Cheers Kris

ahh cause i was getting worried about you guys for a minute!

Yea whens the date? Hopefully my car will be done then i'll be there for sure ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

In Aprill easter time, I should have the manual in it by the, ran into a problem as I need to mod my driveshaft, to suit RB25DET gearbox. Ive fitted 2 recaro seats and suspension, I got my 18in Simmons to fit also, but im using it as a daily runner at the moment. I need to get a injector Asap as one of mine is leaking a little, any help finding one would be awesome.

26th to 30th april, cut off date for cars is 1970 so the VLs are to new

nothing to stop ya going down and watching from the sidelines tho. we have been the last three years and are going again this year. usually take the walky and just soak up the atomsphere from the sidelines, all you can hear is rumbling V8's all weekend and you will never see more Hot Rods and Classic street machines and muscle cars in one place.

Be good just to get a heap of VL,s there but. I would take my Walkie but its retired in the shed for safe keeping, calais is a good subsitute.

Howdy, Just a quick note from the organisers of the Beach Hop. Please check our website for Entry restrictions to Festival. The Beach Hop is a celebration of the 50's & 60's so we are restricting the age to the cars to reflect that - pre 1972. Only pe-registered cars will be permitted into the closed Town Centre area from 5pm Friday until 2am Sunday morning. Only cars with an entrants sticker will be permitted on any cruises during the event. There is also a Town wide 24 Liquor Ban from 9am Friday 28th April to 9am Monday 1st May. This means if you are caught drinking alcohol in any public place then you will be arrested - this includes footpaths, roads and parks. There are 50 extra Police in Whangamata for the weekend plus a platoon from the Army and Waikato Security. The Police will not tolerate any skids or stupid behaviour. Extra tow trucks are being brought into town to assist the Police lock up the cars of stupid drivers. You may be aware that we had a few alcohol related problems at the festival last year and idiots doing skids all over town. The Police & Council have imposed these retsrictions on us as a result. If we **** it up this year then there will NEVER be another Beach Hop. As volunteer organisers we put our butts on the line each year and the local community will not support us if it all turns to custard..... These changes are for the safety of all - you, us and the cops. Good people = Good attitude = Good Fun! Please feel free to ask any questions!
