Join us this October as we hit the road for back-to-back legends of American car culture — the kind of events that define a whole era.
The California Hot Rod Reunion:
A celebration of pure nostalgia: nitro, heritage dragsters, vintage rails, and the unmistakable smell of race fuel in the air. It’s where history fires up and runs the quarter mile. A place to meet your heroes of drag racing.

Pomona Swap Meet:
The holy ground for collectors, builders, and dreamers. Miles of parts, classics, memorabilia, and rare finds you won’t see anywhere else. If it bolts on, bolts in, or belongs in a garage shrine, it’s here.

And This Is Only the Beginning
The California Hot Rod Reunion and the Pomona Swap Meet are just a taste of what’s coming on our Scenic Adventure Tour this October.
We’re talking wide open highways, iconic Americana stops, hidden gems, legendary car culture, and the kind of moments you only get when you’re rolling with a crew that lives for the journey as much as the destination.
This tour isn’t just a trip — it’s a full-blown experience, a story you’ll be telling for years.
Contact Craig [email protected] or 0274 872572 to find out how you can secure your seat.

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours.
To everyone who’s ridden shotgun with us over the years, thank you. You’re the heartbeat of every highway sunrise, every neon‑lit night, and every story traded at a dusty roadside diner.
We’re tuning up for another year of unforgettable adventures in 2026, rolling down the blacktop with the same incredible folks who make every mile feel like a memory in the making.
And keep your eyes on the horizon… we’ve got brand‑new tours warming up in the garage for October 2027 and May 2028—from the soul of Memphis to the wide skies of Texas, the sun‑kissed coast of San Diego, and even a spicy slice of Mexico. They’re still under wraps, but trust us… they’ve got that true, wind‑in‑your‑hair, open‑road magic.
Please stay safe on the roads over the holiday period.

Meet Your Hosts – The Heart Behind Our USA Tours
We thought it was time you met the faces behind these unforgettable journeys through the USA. Between us, we bring over 40 years of experience guiding Kiwis and Aussies on epic adventures across America—each one packed with stories, sights, and soul.
🚐 Van 1: Craig & Andi
Craig and Andi aren’t just tour hosts—they’re true ambassadors of American culture. Having lived in the US and returned year after year, they’ve built deep connections and insider knowledge that make every stop feel authentic. Their passion lies in sharing the real America—beyond the tourist traps and into the heart of what makes this country tick.
🚐 Van 2: John & Maryanne Key
John and Maryanne have been crossing the Pacific since the 1980s, with John recently completing his 109th trip to the States. That kind of mileage brings a level of insight and familiarity you simply can’t fake. Their love for the land, its people, and its quirks shines through in every mile they guide.
🌟 What Makes Our Tours Different?
• You ride in comfort—air-conditioned vans, no stress, no maps, no bookings to juggle.
• We handle the logistics. You soak up the experience.
• We don’t just drive past attractions—we drive to them, dive in, and live them.
• With a maximum of two vans per tour, we keep things personal, friendly, and well looked after.
• Yes, we’re mad about the hot rod and car scene, but our tours go beyond chrome and horsepower. We add that little something extra to make it truly unforgettable.
This isn’t just a holiday. It’s your trip of a lifetime, and we’re here to make sure it feels that way—every single day.
