Ford and Holden fans can start their engines, with the return of the Ford vs Holden Day to Tui Brewery planned for Sunday 30th August. This will be the second of five car and bike shows taking place as part of the 2020 Mangatainoka Motors Show & Shine series from July through to November.
Spectators can expect to see Holden and Ford lovers go head to head, putting their wheels on show for an epic day out, under the Tui Tower. This will be the third time that Mangatainoka Motors have featured Ford vs Holden Day, and it’s by far its most popular of the series. In 2019 a mammoth 380 vehicles travelled from all over the north island to be part of it, with hundreds more people coming to check out the range of vehicles on display.
Event organiser Kate Steminger said “We’re thrilled to have the Toki Motors Show & Shine events back underway, after delaying them due to COVID, and Ford vs Holden will be the best one yet. We’re optimistic that we’ll be back in Level 1 by the time this event is due to take place, so at this stage, we’re forging ahead with our plans, and can’t wait to welcome people from near and far to put their rides on show for another epic day out.”
Ford and Holden car and bike enthusiasts can register their wheels for just $10. Spectators are also very welcome, with free entry and live music on offer, along with great food, beer and other refreshments available for all.
Tui Brewery will put all proceeds from registrations towards the show’s regular beneficiary, the Mangatainoka Reserve Restoration Project.

I have some pots of Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) in flower.
These are Spring bulbs that once establishment put on a reliable show each year.

Low growing with grasslike leaves the flowers are like tiny upright bunches of grapes, rich deep blue in colour. The blue colour against yellow daffodils is amazing, They are the first of the Spring bulbs to come into flower.
Look great in a vase and are good for picking .

Look fabulous around trees, along pathway edges, in rockeries , or anywhere in your Spring garden. They do very well in pots too.

I have pictured some growing around my silver birches. These plants have weathered the hot dry Summer and bounced back into flower so they are hardy.

$6.50 per pot.
Pickup is in Kuripuni .
Thanks for looking.

Price: $6.50

Free for the taking one large Palm tree trunk. No fronds. Over 2 metres long. It is not alive as for some unknown reason has rotted at the base.
Does anyone have a use for it for a succulent garden, bank retainer , garden feature etc.The fibrous covering over the trunk is marvellous for tearing off to line hanging baskets with instead of expensive sphagnum moss or basket liner.

Will need two strong people to carry it.

Pickup in Kuripuni .
