Born 20 years too late! HI
As the title suggests I have been told many times that I was born 20 years too late and that the best of NZ motor racing and classic car culture has past. But this site and others like it around the world are proof otherwise. Even in the nolstalgic Hot Rod Scene the following is huge. Although I was born 20 years too late. I was born in 1975 and so have enjoyed a LOT of good motorsport in my youth, on TV mainly but I was also lucky enough to be taken to the Nissan Mobil many times as a kid. I did my first sprint on my learners licence in a std 1100 mini clubman. I have always been drawn towards the classic or older cars and I enjoy just about anything that races. I'm most fascinated with cars built in sheds and barns out of whatever was to hand, and how even though there was no internet and probably only periodicals with few photos from the other side of the world for inspiration, Nzers still built world class and world beating cars. Massively inspiring stuff, thank you to all of you who weren't born 20 years too late!! Oh yeah, I've had mini's for years and run a 1962 Mk1 in hillclimbs and some classic racing. I'm also farting around with a 1959 A40 Farina for something different. Most people call me Mikey.
