Hi my name is Zara, I’m from Ajays. I get to travel around New Zealand to all the swap meets.

In the holidays I went to the Marineland Street Rods Show, it was a blast. 

I got to sell Hot wheels and the Fejoas that we collected.

The cars were awesome because there were so many different kinds, old & new.  I really liked the design on the Purple 51 Ford (Spinner) and the Pink & White Lipstick (Fairlane).  The Police car was really cool too with its big lights and siren on the roof. I enjoy taking photos of all the different things happening and the cars of course.

It was impressive to see and hear the aircraft engine running. The force of the wind made a boy fall over because it was so powerful. 

The 50’s Beauty show contestants were stunning in their dresses and suits. The Band played really cool Rock & Roll and the dancers were amazing. I liked it when they dipped at the end of a song.

The Car Drop and crash was something I have never seen before.  The car drop from the crane was amazing because it squashed everything from the bonnet back to the front seats.  The car on car crash was scary, I’m glad I wasn’t in it. 

Thank you to all of the organizers for such a cool time I enjoyed everything, especially the dancing.

I had a really great day.

These are some of Zara's & Our photoes of the day!
