Box 8 Waipu LETTERS

Lesson Learned

DEAR PAUL, Further to Grahame Berry’s letter in April 2020 issue titled “Death Wobble”. Some years ago I bought a set of Sunraysia wheels for my Mitsubishi ute, and I was told that they have a different offset to the original wheels, but I wasn’t worried about it. I fitted them up, it didn’t handle any different, but I scrubbed out a set of tyres in six months. That was a lesson learned for me.

Buried Buick?

HI PAUL, I’m very keen to learn of the whereabouts of the 1927 Buick Roadster built by Neville Wilson from North Canterbury and featured in NZ Hot Rod magazine issue in 1972. Any information about it and or location would be appreciated; somebody must know its fate after Neville’s death.
