A Rebel license plate? How far South is that?

I remember watching an episode on "Car Crazy" about the annual classic car show in New Zealand. It is called the "Americarna" and is a traveling car show to recognize American Classics.  The traveling car show starts at one end of NZ and travels to the other.

What made me feel proud was watching the streets lined with Kiwis holding American Flags as the cars drove through each small town.  We hear about the countries that don't like the USA...but here is one that I have a lot of respect for.  Good Bless New Zealand!

Here is the Americarna web site:

Yes, Ed, I remember that Car Crazy episode too. I don't think everyone hates us as much as the liberal media would have us believe.

They may not like us as much as they like what we do.  There are always lots of Southern Hemisphere English speakers at Bonneville. You gotta' love 'em they are so dedicated.

The Jeep was flogged in the mid 70s by the Shadwick brothers. I used to read about it as a teenager in NZ Hot Rod Magazine.
As to everyone disliking Americans, I think its more the Arab world. I myself have quite a few American friends and even a few American customers.
Actually, I have customers from many countries, and my old studio of 11 years, that I closed in 2010, was next door to an Israely backpackers.
I used to get many different nationallites through my door. Never had issues with any nation as a whole. Only individuals, and I've run my share of em out the door. People world wide are mostly good. One of the nicest guys I ever met, is from the Middle East, who has lived here for many years.
I'm just not sure about those Hobbits though

Thanks to Madfish and Moose on the Hamb, I had the Hudson photo shopped.
Moose even did the train.

Hey Kiwijeff...They make a nice looking pair. I ended up having to do another rendition with chrome wheels on the train to better the match

That color green really makes the truck stand out. Nice job on the photo shop.

Took the Hudson for a blast out to see an old friend.
He's been building a trike outer a truck.
What a beast from hell. He started it up, and I got vid.
Here's a poc, till I figure out how to post vid from phone

[themoose]

Wow...That looks like a fun ride or maybe more like a terrifying one Looking forward to tie video.

Not sure how I did it, but link works for me.
Take a look in my album, there's 3 vids of the trike, and one of the purple Jeep.
