Fast & Furious 5 is the fifth in the Fast And The Furious movie line-up, and one of the most action-packed yet. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead this all-star all-action movie with outrageous stunts, incredible cars and beautiful girls. The legendary Dom Toretto (Diesel) partners with outlaw cop Brian O’Conner (Walker) on the opposite side of the law in exotic Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Hunted by the ruthless Agent Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and an army of corrupt cops working for a deadly drug kingpin, Toretto and O’Conner reunite the gang from previous Fast adventures to pull off one last job – an insane heist worth $100 million! Available on Blu-ray/DVD now.

We’ve got five copies of Fast & Furious 5 to give away! Simply click on the link below and be ready to enter your details. (more…)

Competition closes 7 August, 2011

The Motor Trade Association (MTA) is searching once again for New Zealand’s finest automotive apprentice with the entires for the 2011 competition being accepted.

If your workshop has an apprentice who isn’t a total dropkick, you might want to nominate them for the award. And if you’re an apprentice who does a half-decent job then might you might want to drop a few subtle hints to the boss (entry form on the lunchroom table might do).

The MTA Award has been running for ages and aims to reward the skills of talented apprentices and recognise employers who are investing in the future of the automotive industry.

This year’s competition is the second year in which the traditional theory based ‘Apprentice of the Year’ contest has been merged with the more practical, hands-on ‘MTA Apprentice Challenge’.

MTA General Manager Advocacy and Training, Dougal Morrison, says the competition not only recognises the best in the automotive industry, but it’s a great opportunity for apprentices to showcase their talents and fast track their skills and career development. (more…)

Thanks to Canterbury clothing we have one “ugly” shirt to giveaway to a lucky reader. All you have to do to enter the draw is click on the link below and be ready to enter your details.

By the early 1970s, Canterbury of New Zealand was supplying kit to so many teams around the world that its factories were left with a problem: what should they do with the remnants of fabric that were used to make the many different jerseys of these teams? The solution was genius: they just stitched them together and marketed them as “practice” jerseys! Now an established part of Canterbury Clothing’s history, the “ugly” jersey remains a favourite both on the field and off. Available in a variety of styles from short sleeve polos to the famous long sleeve rugby practice shirt, in sizes S-XXXL, there’s an ugly to suit everyone.

I guess the concept is simple marketing. Encourage people to buy your product by offering them the chance to win a prize. Here at NZV8 we do it all the time, although our prizes haven’t yet been as impressive as the ones Beach Hop has just put up for grabs.

Each year for the last few years, anyone who purchases a Beach Hop programme has gone in the draw to win a huge prize. Last year it was a beautifully finished Pontiac Catalina, the year before it was a bunch of travel, the years before that, a few different vehicles.

So why the hell are there three cars on this page? Because event organisers and last year’s car sponsor, Makita, had such a good time and huge success that it decided the only way it could make the prize car better was to change it from one to three, with the third car being auctioned off live at Beach Hop to help offset the costs of buying, restoring and modifying all three.

Trying to get one car on the road and tarted up in a short timeframe is a full-time job, so with three on the go, it’s easy to see why Beach Hop head honcho, Noddy, has only a small amount of grey hair left on his head.

The Mission Begins

In August 2008 a group of local hot rodders headed to the States for the trip of a lifetime. It included attending many events and workshops, and meeting some cool cats along the way. As part of the trip Noddy was searching for suitable cars to purchase for Beach Hop. Much to the delight of the team at Makita, which was funding the cars, Nodster managed to track down three good-condition Mustangs without breaking the bank. Due to the Mustang’s popularity, the range of parts available and their relative affordability, they were the obvious choice.
