Brass Era Tour Mar 2025 Te Awamutu

Fri 7th March 2025
A selection of cars met at the Village Cafe Whatawhata for lunch. After lots of chat and meeting up with friends old and new we drove to Tom Andrews Classic Car Museum to view 2 very special Bugatis. The black one looked very futuristic and the work that has gone into these cars is amazing and the finished results were incredible. From here we followed the rally instructions and drove to Te Awamutu to stay at the Matariki Motor Lodge-our accommodation for two nights. After a rest time we all went to the Peach and Porker Pub for an evening meal. Then it was back to the motel for our nights sleep.

After a good nights sleep we woke to another lovely day which turned to overcast but was still good weather for motoring. We followed the instructions which took us through rolling hills and majestic valleys. Our lunch stop was held at the Ngaroma Village Hall and provided by the committee. Having been fed and watered we set off for the return trip back to our motel for rests or naps and to get ready for happy hour then a meal at the Waipa Workingmens Club. Several of us took advantage of the shuttle service that the club provided.
