Just a reminder that vehicle entry to Repco Beach Hop 25 will open on our website www.beachhop.co.nz at 7am on 1st October. As it's our 25th Anniversary we have some exciting things planned - so what this space. We'd like to gather as many of prize vehicles we've done since 2001 - vehicles we've given away or auctioned - Cars, Bikes or Caravans. If you know the current owners of these vehicles then please let us know so we can send them a special invite to Repco Beach Hop 25. It would also be great to have as many past winners of the Top Car, Bike & Caravan awards at the Festival as well - so please contact us so we can send an invitation to the owners. What a line up that will be! Each year we have our "Old School" T shirt design and over recent years we've featured well known Kiwis Hot Rods. For Repco Beach Hop 25 the famous Road Hog is on this T shirt and we hope the original car will be on display at the Festival.
