Deuce Day's at Magoo's 24/11/12




The 1932 Ford is a 80 years old this year and to help celebrate Lloyd Magoo Wilson organised Deuce Days, the largest ever gathering of 1932 Fords in New Zealand. American hot rod guru Roy Brizio was the special guest for the weekend and cars came from as far away as Warkworth and Dunedin.

The Show 'n Shine component of Deuce Days was held at Magoo's. Admission fee was a gold coin donation to Hospice, don't know what happened to the barbacue & coffee stall that was supposed to there. The usual Open House parking was devoted to the entrants in their 32's, but there was heaps of adjacent off street parking for visiting hot rods. Part of the workshop open to have a look around at projects on the go, plus the showroom and the opportunity to meet Roy Brizio.








Clive, Mark Smith, Marty, Dave, Rammie, Paul, Lawry Staples, Alan Mayo & Dave Mayo left P'pram Railway Station at 11am with one stop the Solway for a couple of beers and some lunch.




















Lloyd's personal project.
