Irishman Creek Rally 2025

Howdy all

Click on the Youtube video below to see the fun Steve Driver and I had on the Irishman Creek Rally 2025.

Steve Driver and I traveled from Auckland in the North Island to Christchurch in the South Island with a Ferry Crossing from Wellington to Picton. We had deliveries to friends in the South Island, a complete Model A diff for Garry, an overdrive for Ross, an overdrive for Dave and a ring and pinion. Steve needed a pick up wellside made by Glen, this went on the back of our newly named Jack Daniels Pickup ( Blackjack Delivery Co.) for the return trip home.
They say there was 207 vintage cars (older than 1931) entered in the Rally.There were many makes and models including Austin 7 sports, Dodges, Model T Fords, Chryslers, Rolls Royces etc. and 97 Model A Fords.
Steve and I were in the 1930 Model A pickup with the Jack Daniels signage on the door. Simon the photographer was traveling with Russell Sherwin in the Model A pickup with Sherwin Manor signage on the door, Russell loaned Edgar his Model A coupe, Edgar lost the radiator cap although that never stopped him completing the event, Edgar came up with heaps of excuses as you will see.
Going through a watercourse we picked up part of an old file causing a flat tyre, a quick wheel change fixed that, Steve blamed Andrew Mehrtens for throwing tools into the river - yeah right.
We were very lucky with three days of clear skies as it was forecast for a heavy polar blast from the South with heavy snow, this arrived after we had arrived back home with many roads closed and travellers being rescued.
Enough from me, check out the video and some photos I have taken in the attachment.
Cheers, Terry C
