Mangatainoka Motors V8 Sunday - this Sunday

Turn up the volume, the mighty V8s are returning to Mangatainoka!

Crank up those cylinders and get your engines firing, on Sunday 26 June the Tui Brewery car park will come alive with the power and noise of the mighty V8. The Mangatainoka Motors V8 Sunday is the loudest and proudest of all the Tui Brewery motor events for the year.
The V8 day is the only day where there are no specifications about the vehicles, it’s all about the engines, so this means Tui expect a huge variety of cars or trucks. This is one of the biggest events on the Toki motors calendar and will be a great day for everyone with live music, great food and of course some refreshing beverages. This is a family friendly event, entry for spectators is free - check out the action. You can register your vehicle for just $10 .

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
