Queen City Roadsters

In the 500th Issue of the NZ Hot Rod Magazine I wrote the article on the club history as it was always something that I had a great interest in – after all – roadsters are the epitome of hot rodding right?

Speaking with Mike Gearing, Vern Hoskins and the Dolores family was a real pleasure to hear first hand of what it was all about. Here is what stood out in my mind:
1) The L.A. Roadster Club was a huge influence in the formation of QCR.
2) The quality of the roadsters in QCR and how they were presented was of a high standard that would be more than acceptable today
3) The members had the vision of a line up of roadsters cruising together
Why start the club?

The Queen City Roadsters is something that I had always wanted to recreate and the timing of the article and also my own ’32 build led me to think the timing was right. The beauty of this club is we are all on the same page in terms of what we want out of rodding and our own cars. There is no rules, there is no expectations, there is no leader, there is no affiliations – its just about a group of guys wearing the shirt, running the decal on the screen, enjoying the picture of roadsters travelling together etc etc.

If you wanna go for a run somewhere or have a BBQ – let us all know – its low key – its fun and when its not fun anymore we just hang up the hat!
