Inside the North Canterbury car museum with a unique, ever-evolving collection
About 30 minutes out of Christchurch and tucked away off the side of State Highway 1 is a classic car showroom with a unique, ever-evolving collection – going as far back as a 1913 Model T.
Gloria and Jesmond Micallef are behind the Waimak Classic Cars museum and showroom in Leithfield, North Canterbury, where they display about 60 cars from their 120-or-so car collection.
They've been hosting viewings at the Canterbury showroom, strictly by appointment, for slightly over a year now.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
