Custom Only
Ah, so Knuckle Drager's car club, we're just a group of good buggers I suppose to get to say, Bit of a mix of us in there, youngsters, oldsters, But to describe us, I'd say we're the up and coming younger generation hot-roll club, custom car club in New Zealand at the moment, which is cool because I mean, you need the younger generation coming through. Someone's got to keep these old cars rolling and restored. There was a few of us, five of us I suppose, that we used to sort of spend a lot of time together and we would attend a lot of the events together, cruise there together. I said, hey mate, you've got a couple of mates, I've got a couple of mates, let'start a road club. And the events waited from there. We're a happy little bunch. We can get into some mischief, but hey, it's a fun event, isn't it? Different people come to the club from different places in their life or their career or their background. It's funny you have somebody that you never met before come in because you're into the same sort of thing before you're not, It's all about having fun and enjoying yourself and there's no seriousness in it at all. You don't need to, You get cars and have fun and have a couple beers and go and see car shows. So I think if you start being serious and you start looking at life, it takes the fun away of having a car club. Cars is the reason we come together, but when we're socialising, we're socialising with each other. The car is a park that's more just about talking shit and having a good laugh with your mates. A lot of the conversation is around cars, but it's everything about it, Working on it, cruising in it, to hanging out with your mates, standing around it, drinking beer. Definitely it's a theme. We started off in a real tight theme, but we've slowly loosened it a little bit because we've got some good mates in and they've got some cars that are sort of on the borderline. But big white wolves, if you've got low suspension, a little bit better. But definitely no muscle cars and no modern cars, obviously. We're not purists, that's for sure. Definitely if she's not scraping, it's not low enough. They're not supposed to be low, but that's the way we You have to be into cars. These people that need to buy cars because they get a couple of car shows and then they end up selling them. It's not for everyone. Old cars take a lot of time. And that's all part of the whole enjoyment of having a car. I can hop into my car on a Saturday morning, hop in it and start it up. I just leave everything else behind and it's great. You've got to buy an old car. For me, it's a passion. It's hard to say what the attraction is to it. You either really get into it or you've got to vote. There's people out there that don't even look at an old car. It's weird. I don't know. I don't hang around with those people. Cars will always be a big part of my life. This style of car just kind of fits my personality, I suppose.
