1903 automobile is not your average test drive63-year-old Tony Prebensen loves hanging out with his old friend Holley, even though she's a lot older than him. The Holleys were made in 1903 by the firm that now makes Holley Carburettors, but this one came to Tony in various parts. His mission started in 2005 when he got the Holley engine from Napier's Faraday Centre. I opened it up and found that the Holley car had the same gearbox my father had bought 30 years earlier at an estate clearing sale. The exact right engine was in the same garage.

The Reserve Bank officially announced that the OCR is going up by a further 75 basis points to 4.25 percent, the highest level since 2008. Jenee Tibshraeny, NZ Herald Wellington business editor says that this news isn't surprising, but this rate hike may not even be the worst of it. Jenee Tibshraeny says that the financial markets were more shocked by the lack of growth potential paired with the rate hike, and the fact that it could lead to a recession by next year.

A Hokitika man considers himself lucky to tell the tale of being struck by lightning yesterday afternoon and his ute bursting into flames. The lightning bolt hit the bonnet of Caleb Harris' ute. Joshua Goldend saw Harris’ ute burning and said a man directing traffic told him about the strike. The air near a lightning strike, meanwhile, is heated to 27,760C - hotter than the surface of the sun – and the rapid heating and cooling of air near the lightning channel causes a shock wave that results in thunder. While lightning strikes kill an estimated 6000 to 24,000 people around the world each year, lightning fatalities and injuries are incredibly rare in New Zealand – with just a few dozen claims to ACC over the past two decades.

But KiwiRail has been stuck in a legal battle with developer Charles Ma over the location of the third station in Drury West. The Drury Central and Paerātā station park and rides will contain up to 350 parking spaces each, while the Dury West station will have up to 200. Matt Lowrie is the editor of transport and urban design blog Greater Auckland and said KiwiRail's design for the Drury Central station needed work.

One poll, released on November 6, showed Labour’s lowest result since Ms Ardern took office in 2017. Early this year, Ms Ardern refused to admit the rising cost of living was a “crisis”, but has since done a U-turn, acknowledging it is the top issue on the electorate’s mind. But the nation might be suffering from “over-exposure” from the Prime Minister, without enough tangible examples of progress, Ms Greaves said. But Ms Morten says a real sticking point among the electorate is that the change Ms Ardern committed to has not been realised. But she still thought Ms Ardern would be re-elected Prime Minister because of her talent for communication, campaigning, and riding out the tough times.

He is a T20 expert by his own doing but New Zealander Glenn Phillips says he can’t even “dream” of pulling off some of the incredible shots that Suryakumar Yadav plays easily. The things that he does I wouldn’t even dream of doing. “I have got my strengths and he has got him and we go about our jobs in different ways. Phillips is eighth in the ICC’s T20I batters’ list and has scored 650 runs at a strike rate of 158 plus. Phillips is expecting that on good batting tracks like Bay Oval (Mt Maunganui) and McLean Park (Napier), Surya’s strike rate would take even higher.

The house owner has acted smartly by adding a complimentary Tesla electric car worth $60,000 to their home purchase. According to Sky News, house prices have dropped for 11 straight months and by the most in 30 years in October. For the eleventh consecutive month, New Zealand house prices fell 10.9% in October, the most significant monthly decline in 30 years. “Rising mortgage rates continue to weigh on house prices and sale activity,” said Kiwibank economists in a note. Many experts believe that even though the cash rate is predicted to increase, housing prices will continue to decline.

The super-yacht is named after Pangea, the supercontinent that existed millions of centuries ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. That's the latest concept from Lazzarini, the Italian design firm, which showcased its layout for Pangeos, a floating city that could become the world's largest boat. Pangeos will be approximately 1,800 feet long and 2,000 feet wide. Pangeos' wings will be intended to extract energy from the sea's waves, allowing it to cruise indefinitely without emitting greenhouse gases. While sailing, the large wings will gain energy from the breaking of the waves and Pangeos will cruise perpetually without emissions around the planet Earth's seas.

Let’s talk political leadership and compare Chris Luxon’s old testament spare the whip spoil the ram raider school and parent blame game to John Key’s Underclass, when he picked up 12 year old Aroha Ireland from Meghan Close and took her to Waitangi for Waitangi Day. John Key displayed political leadership, Chris Luxon is playing a dog whistle on a trumpet. Putting 10 year olds in ankle bracelets and forcing them into counter productive Military Boot camps isn’t social policy, it’s a revenge fantasy!

Cleaning up his Island Bay store Thirsty Liquor in Wellington owner Chetan Rattan was downhearted after another ramraid in July, then a burglary about six weeks ago.

And it ran on the website of the NZ Herald, New Zealand’s most popular newspaper. The NZ Herald, like most media organisations in this country (including The Spinoff), runs stories from partners who pay to be placed on their sites. When I contacted the NZ Herald, it pulled the story down within hours of the email landing, and a spokesperson supplied a statement explaining why. “This came out of a commercial agreement that sees us host a very small amount of sponsored content online, which is clearly labelled as sponsored. “However, following reader feedback on this particular advertisement, it has now been removed and we are reviewing this type of sponsored content arrangement moving forward.”How is this different to any other piece of sponsored content?

A third Covid wave is currently sweeping over the country. You can tell it by empty offices, the coughs you hear on public transport and the surge in case numbers. Otago University epidemiologist professor Michael Baker tells The Front Page podcast numbers have been tracking up over the last eight weeks and we are facing a “swarm of variants” moving through society. The Manawatu District Council last week responded to the lack of Government-mandated restrictions by imposing Covid rules on staff amid the latest outbreak. Listen to today’s episode of The Front Page podcast for Baker’s take on why Covid is not yet done with us.
