The Capital Rodders Wheels on the Waterfront display was held on 23 January and despite the bad weather around 60 vehicles were on display which was fantastic. You are all true rodders – any chance to show off your vehicle! Although the weather meant the numbers of spectators was down, there was still a steady stream of people looking at the cars throughout the day.

A big thanks to the Wellington City Council who helped with the event. The Waterfront is a great place to showcase the city and some fine rods.

There were 2 trophies up for grabs – Sponsor’s Choice and Peoples’ Choice, both sponsored by Revive Coffee. The winner of the Sponsor’s Choice was Karina Edwards with her 1930 Model A Coupe and Peoples’ Choice deservedly went to Russell Ward and his 1969 Bathhurst HT Monaro. A big thanks to Revive Coffee for the awesome trophies and the hot coffees. Thanks also to Road and Track, Lower Hutt and the Cadillac Diner in Lower Hutt for their sponsorship of spot prizes. The Waterfront Mystery Challenge was won by Derek Miles of Cam County.

We look forward to holding the event again next year – hopefully with better weather.

Our annual Capital Rodders Guide Dog Mystery Run was held on 20 September 2009. The Wellington weather really turned it on with a fine sunny day - great cruising weather. We had a huge turn out of cars from traditional T-buckets and '32 roadsters through to street machines and muscle cars. A big thanks to all that attended for your kind donations. As usual, all proceeds go to the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind. Click here to see some photos from the 2009 event.

Yes, the Guide Dog Mystery Run is back for 2010. Mark your calendar for 19 September 2010 so that you don't miss this event.

Check out our rides. The club welcomes members with a wide range of interest in vehiles, from rat rods to show cars, street or strip. Check out the great range of vehicles on the gallery page.

Happy cruisin'
