Mazda-RX-7-01

Ten years ago, at the age of sixteen, Jason Treloar swapped a shitty old Mazda 626 for an even shittier 1980 Series 1 Mazda RX-7. “It was a wreck,” Jason admits. “It was pretty much just a primered shell on Hotwires that had been used as a skid hack down in Manurewa. I was only young and just wanted a rotary, so I grabbed it. Originally, it just started as a quick pull-apart and tidy up.” From those humble beginnings, Jason’s ‘quick tidy up’ has turned that same bucket-of-bolts Mazda into what has been Read the full story »

If there’s one thing to be said about Hyundai — it’s that they certainly don’t mind taking risks and going out on a limb. This is best evidenced by the latest and greatest from the Korean manufacturer, the Veloster Turbo. With an odd number of doors, a full glass roof and a rear end like a messed up Salvador Dalí painting, Hyundai certainly weren’t aiming for conservative buyers when it comes to the Veloster. As we’re about as far from prudes as it comes here at NZPC, we’re throwing our hat in the ring and saying yes — this is cool.

Though the styling isn’t for everyone, it’s in-your-face nature works for us: the squat stance, aggressive Read the full story »
