Kaikōura Hop replaced with 'rolling car show' with everyone in their own bubble
Traditionally, the Kaikōura Hop brings in thousands of car enthusiasts with a penchant for the 1950s and 60s, finishing in the coastal town between Blenheim and Christchurch.
But, under level 2 restrictions, this weekend's event is unable to proceed as usual.
Organiser Doug O'Callahan says despite not being able to hold the hop properly, a “rolling car show” is going ahead.
"We’ve broken down into groups of under 100 people, and we’ve colour tagged them off into different groups. And then we’re going to start them off into different groups during the day, and they can do laps around and bits and pieces like that.”
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
