As we step out of winter and into spring, not only do we look forward to the hotter weather, but also the start of the car event season. One of the first shows to mark the start of these warmer months here in the South Island is the much anticipated Kaikoura Hop. Held over 18-22 September this year, the event has grown from its humble beginnings to be one of the ‘must-do’ events on the car enthusiast’s calendar.
