American Car Day at Tui Brewery ANZAC WEEKEND
Mangatainoka Motors American Car Day is on!
The Mangatainoka Motors events are back! It’s time to make America great again, with Tui Brewery welcoming the return of the American Car Day on Sunday 24 April.
American car enthusiasts are invited to take to the freeways and join us at the Tui brewery in Mangatainoka to show off their pride and joy.
We would love to see all the American movie classics, the Buicks, Mustangs, Chevrolets and many more at the brewery. It’s a great day out and we can’t wait to welcome people from near and far to put their rides on show for another epic day out.”
People can register their bikes, cars or pick-ups for just $10, and be in to win some great prizes, including a massive $500 cash prize for Star of the Show. The day promises to be fun for all, with free entry for spectators, live music in the garden bar, along with great food, brewery tours, beer and other refreshments on offer.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
