A few weeks back the 60th annual vintage car race was held in Dunedin. This is basically when old cars from the early 1900s come together and race from the Octagon to Brighton Beach. We went and had a look, and wow, it was so cool! There were about 60 cars/trucks/vans and even motorcycles. And the cool thing was that the majority of the car owners dressed up in the early 1900s clothes! The cars and costumes coupled with the old vintage buildings in the Octagon I thought I was living in the early 1900s.
Down at Brighton there is a big carnival at the finish line. I'm talking, rides, games, stunt men, and stalls selling stuff. All the cars also are lined up and put on display with their hoods up and what not.
It was a very cool day and something I highly recommend!
Here is a link that tells you a bit more and photos/videos below.
Here is a video of the oldest car being crank started and the engine. Sorry about the people, lots of interest.
