Rev Up event back
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the postponement of last year s Repco Rev Up event bringing dozens of flash classic cars and bikes to Whangārei. That didn t stop the organisers, the Whangārei Rod and Custom Club, making a sizeable donation to its chosen charity. The event is on again in April, and again, the chosen charity will be Whangārei s Kind Hands Respite Care Cottage. The cars and bikes will be on display at Repco Rev Up in Whangārei s Cameron St Mall on April 17. To register your vehicle or for more info go to www.
