Ford Thunderbird Haven – Barry’s NZ Collection
Birds flock together, and on a once rural property in South Auckland, we check out a colony of Ford Thunderbirds nestled amongst hot rods. Many moons ago, Barry Moyle’s Drury property was considered rural. Now, the paddocks next door are being turned into suburbs. So it’s time to move. Problem is, over four decades he’s built a few sheds and filled them with cars. “I’m selling up so some of these cars will have to go.

2024 Mercedes-Benz E 300 review
At present the only E-Class in the latest generation is the E 300 you see here, a mild hybrid offering. What’s it like then? The SUV classes are slowly smothering the life out of sedans and hatchbacks. Are low riders endangered birds? More’s the pity if so because the E 300 doesn’t drive like any jacked up wagon.

Certainly practicality wasn’t high on the list but here the latest W214...
