Hooters Vintage & Classic Vehicle Hire NZ

23/07/2022

Today we celebrate 10 years of Ho***rs Vintage and Classic Vehicle Hire operating here in the heart of Napier, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

10 years is a pretty big deal and we’ve had a real 'Hoot' of a time, that being said, it’s been a tough few years for all of us and like many of you folks out there we’ve decided it’s time for a change too!

Today we also close our doors to the adventure of Ho***rs, it’s been a fantastic journey and as a family owned and operated business we could not be happier with the adventures we’ve shared. A heartfelt thanks to all our team over the years and a special nod to those we’ve sadly lost along the way.

Thank you to all our amazing customers and to all those that have supported us.

We couldn’t have done it without you all! So on that note, we ask you to join us today and raise a glass remembering all the fun we’ve had over the last 10 years.

What an amazing 10 Years it has been! Thank you all X

Ana & the team at Ho***rs Vintage & Classic Vehicle Hire

P.S - We will still be honouring any outstanding gift vouchers out there so please do get in touch;

P.P.S - Tourism hasn’t seen the last of us yet, we will still be bringing you some amazing adventures with our little sister company Supertrike Tours. It’s a little bit faster and will certainly get your blood pumping, the wind through your hair and an experience you won’t forget! www.supertrike.nz

BREAKING NEWS!
Hey Folks,
Most of you know that we are a family run business comprising of father and daughter team David & Ana, with the fleet managed by Ana's partner Phil. Our drivers are an eclectic mix of locals and ex-pats that have fast become our Kiwi family.
With David being in the UK for the pandemic so far, Ana currently recovering from surgery and our drivers in various stages of being no spring chickens, we have taken the very difficult decision to close for the rest of the season.
With Omicron finally hitting us here in beautiful Hawke's Bay we simply cannot operate safely and do not have the numbers to rotate staff should anyone become infected.
Ho***rs has always been a family company, built on a love for cars and and a whole sense of fun. So with that in mind we will let Covid do it's thing and hope to be back next season when the borders open and we all feel happier, safer and ready to have some good old fashioned fun again!

A great google review for our Phil and his driver training skills! He's been doing driver training for both clients and our own drivers for some years now and it's quite a dab hand at it. 😁

"Went for a drive with Phil. Great teacher and wonderful experience. Highly recommend"

Always nice to see another vintage out on the roads, must be Hawke's Bay Summertime! 😁

A great Google review left for our Bernard!
"Had a great drive with Bernard 27th November 21, we've all been to Napier several times over the years and wish we'd done this sooner. Bernard was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour and the car was beautiful! Was the perfect sunny day to be driven around in an open top vintage car, thanks for the tour Bernard. Helen Hocking"
Thank you so much Helen and so glad you enjoyed your day with us at Ho***rs 😁

Some lovely feedback for our Tony on one of his recent tours!

Nov 26, 2021
Perfect way to explore Napier and wineries
Tripadvisor review: 3-hour Private Scenic and Taster Tour by Vintage Car
We were greeted by our warm and friendly host Tony and Bonnie. Bonnie is a very stylish and Uber comfortable open top 1927 Buick. We first stopped at the Mission Estate winery with a knowledgeable tasting with Deanna and then moved to Moana winery where we had an enjoyable and relaxed tasting outdoors with Libby and Amanda. Tony then finished with a tour of Napier and gave an interesting overview of the town’s history sprinkled with some good humour ;-). Would definitely recommend as the way to explore the region and hope to visit for another tour again.

Felt honoured to attend a fantastic presentation for Bob Jordan our number 1 Supertrike guy and Vintage car driver, to honour his recognition of services for the Navy at Napier RSA Napier. Congratulations Bob and thanks for the invite, a great time had by all and an honour to attend.

A Great review for our Bob Rob!
Fantastic hour spent with Ho***rs Vintage car company
Tripadvisor review: 60-Minute Napier Deco City Tour by Vintage Car
Fantastic tour with Bob in a beautiful vintage car. Bob had a great sense of humour and great knowledge. We loved every moment of the tour and were wrapped up warmly in the blankets provided so we could have the top down on the car. We have all been to Napier before but we would all do this tour again! Great to do the tour at the beginning of your Napier stay. Definitely recommend Ho***rs and Bob.
Tours make great presents for people too.

Another Couple of Fantastic reviews for the team:

"informative
Tripadvisor review: Napier Highlights by Open Top Vintage Car
From the time we were picked up to drop off, we had a ball. A stunning day with the best guides. Great chance to sit back and enjoy the sights. I cannot recommend this tour more highly. From the older people in our group to the teenager. It was a highlight of our holiday up the coast. Keep up the great job and again thankyou"

We have not been mixing groups now for over a year due to the pandemic and safety first for our visitors and our team but we have certainly encouraged you to visit us in your bubble.
This awesome group met up in the Napier i-SITE Visitor Centre and decided to make their own bubble and team up for an afternoon of vintage fun. Turns out they were all from Invercargill so a perfect NZ bubble formed.

The Ho***rs team have just had the busiest few days in over a year, with the final rescheduled tours all coming to a head this week and what a week it's been!
It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of these groups Napier activities. We know it's been a long time coming but hope we made the wait worthwhile and hope you all had a fabulous time in our beautiful city.

Thank you all for choosing Ho***rs for your Hawke's Bay Adventures! We appreciate your support during this difficult year and hope we've left with you some fond memories of Napier.

The final convoy of the weekend saw 9 cars in convoy and finished our weekend with a bang!
A little chillier than we would of liked but we dressed up warm, got the blankets out and enjoyed a mixture of luxury sedans, open tops with the roofs up and fully open for the hardy!

Smiles all round, what a happy bunch! 😁

A wonderful end to the busiest weekend we've seen in a year!

Thanks for choosing Ho***rs for your Hawke's Bay Adventure.

Here's round 2.....45 people, 13 cars in convoy, a pretty impressive sight!
Having a blast! Moving 90 people in 13 vintage cars in two rounds of convoys is certainly challenging but it definitely looks like the whole team enjoyed themselves. 😁

Thanks for choosing Ho***rs folks for your Hawke's Bay Adventure.

We do love a good convoy and this one has been a long time coming. Due to Covid19 and lockdown restrictions we've had to reschedule Ana and her team a few times. Finally 3rd time lucky and the team finally made it to Napier and according to Ana 'The team were blown away by the whole experience!'
Yay! We do love happy customers and what fun, it's been a while since we had a decent convoy!

A little clip of our guests enjoying the Art Deco vibe in Napier! Third time lucky due to Covid set back's but we finally got there and had a blast! Ana and her crew all dressed up in deco having a ball in a Ho***rs convoy!
Thank you for rescheduling and choosing Ho***rs for your Hawke's Bay Adventure guys, we had a blast!

Tony enjoying an afternoon tour in 'Rene' the 1953 Citroen with James, Trudy, Mel and John. The sun is shining and 'Rene' is the perfect vehicle for a winery tour, plenty of boot space for any sneaky purchases on route!

Yay convoy time!
We had a fantastic time recently with the very lovely Henry Rudolph Singers that chose Napier for their get together and what a fantastic day it was. The crew all arrived in Art Deco and really got into the Ho***rs spirit!
Always a pleasure to work with Kevin Bridle Photography. Whilst we do always try to get some pictures ourselves you just can't beat the work of a professional! Thanks Kevin, love your work!

Some amazing feedback thanks to Bob Rob and Trip Advisor!
Amazing experience and a must do if visiting Napier
Tripadvisor review: 60-Minute Napier Deco City Tour by Vintage Car
"Our autistic daughter loves the car BRUM so we decided to do a vintage car tour. Bob Rob was an
amazing guide and told us all about the Earthquake back in 1931 and what happened to Napier. I honestly wouldnt have known half of what he told us if we hadnt of done the tour!"

What could be better than a ride in a vintage car on a sunny day? Two in convoy of course! A fantastic way to experience Hawke's Bay, your way!

Glyn recently had the pleasure of taking these lovely ladies out on tour in 'Bonnie' the 1927 Buick. Just perfect to enjoy a sunny afternoon in Hawke's Bay!

For those of you that follow our page you may recognise Campbell and 'his' 1930 Oldsmobile. Campbell and his crew have been return customers for some years now and he has a particular passion for 'Bugsy' our 1930 Oldsmobile, so much so that when we discuss Art Deco each year we wonder if Campbell will return for his car! This year we weren't expecting to see him but a last minute change to plans and we were very pleased to see Bugsy head off for it's self driving adventure. We were a little worried with the open tops being the main attractions that our Bugsy wouldn't get to enjoy this years Art Deco! So thank you to Campbell and Co for deciding to get in the Art Deco spirit and do Deco their own way!

"It was awesome, Glyn was awesome oh we had some laughs."
What awesome feedback to get! Especially as I'd had to let our client know that due to the unforeseen road closures we were running late for their tour, it turned out to be almost 20 minutes! There was nothing we could have done as Napier Council had done an emergency road closure due to volume of people and as you can imagine turned our tours to chaos! Luckily everyone understood and were in good spirits and of the course the Ho***rs team always aim to leave you laughing!
A massive thanks to everyone that came out to support us yesterday and thank you our amazing customers, even with delays the crowds were buzzing, the atmosphere was great and we had such fun! The People of Napier sure know how to have some good old fashioned Art Deco Shenanigans!
