Good morning Sunners if you're looking for something to do and you're a Petrol-head, then you are in for a special treat if you go to the Bay of Plenty Mustang Club's annual Extreme Automotive All USA Car Day, according to club member Graham Coombes.

The event, which sees various makes of Mustangs and American-built cars put on display at Wharepai Domain, will be held again today. The cars will start arriving from 8am and it will be open to the public at 10am.

Graham says they have a special treat for those who attend the show.

'One of the feature cars of that show is – one of the guys in our club has got a brand new Shelby Mustang Super Snake. This is the top of the line Mustang. He got it made in America and he got it brought in.”

Plus on top of the feature car, Graham says it is the 50^th Anniversary for Carrol Shelby who had input into the designing of the AC Cobra and later the Shelby Mustangs.

'Ford made the Mustang then they looked to Carrol Shelby to make a racing Mustang. Then they made production Shelby Mustangs after that.”

Along with the different types of Mustangs the club members have on display, Graham says they invite anyone who has an American car to bring it down to show it off.

'Whether it be a stock standard classic or hot rodded or whatever. We end up with some American trucks, we end up with the odd motorbike. The day pretty much covers classic cars, hot-rods, obviously Mustangs. They'll all be there.”

Graham himself will have his pride and joys on display.

'I've got two Mustangs. I've got an original 1964-and-a-half convertible. One of the first ones made and I've also got a 2011, what they call a Californian Special, which my wife drives to work every day.”

A self-confessed petrol-head, Graham says he has always had a passion for cars.

'I had hot rods for many years. Then I got interested in basically the history of cars. So that's why it came down to the Mustang, I liked American cars. The Mustang seemed to me to have a lot of history. Obviously it's like the Levi jeans and Coca-Cola – it's an American icon.”

Last year's event was a great success, Graham says, with about 200 vehicles, from early vintage models to pickups and customised cars and hot rods being put on display. As many as 4000 people came down to check out the event and organisers are expecting it to be just as popular this year.

But if that's not your cup of tea then check out some of the other great things happening in the Bay today.
