  • Whangamata Beachhop draws the crowds (5:51)

Is it that we simply love cars or is it nostalgia for a bygone era when things seemed so much more simple.

Whatever the drawcard classic car and hotrod events are now big business around the country.

Over the weekend the annual Whangamata Beachhop had the music, the dancing, the Elvis impersonator and of course acres of chrome.

Thousands and thousands of pounds of horsepower, the weird the wonderful and curves to make you drool.
