The Kiwi Hot Rodder’s Guide To Life written by NZV8’s very own Steve Holmes offers a fantastic look into the sheds and lives of many New Zealand hot rodders. Full of great photographs, the book is a full-colour testament to the passion for hot rodding that resides in the garages and hearts of many Kiwis. Many readers will be familiar with names in the book, but may not know just how dedicated they are to the hot rodding scene. The book is an inspiration for those of us who can only dream about owning an impressive shed full of cars and memorabilia. A very worthwhile read and a great Christmas gift.
