Well a while back I was able to head down to Hamilton to visit the classics museum consisting of old classic cars and motorbikes as well as have lunch at the Jukebox Diner located in the same building.
A couple of hours drive from Auckland city this would be a good half day or day trip to see something unique and a must for the classic car enthusiast.
The diner was quite busy and the staff there seemed to be fully occupied with delivering the meals to the many customers that were there on the day.
Kids meals are $8 with adults ranging from about $9 to $16. You can check out whats on the menu here:

On to the Classics Museum.
Admission per adult is $20 and kids $8 each. http://www.classicsmuseum.co.nz/admission.html
The museum itself is rather impressive with I would guess millions of dollars worth of cars on display. Along with the cars are old memorabilia from the early motoring days of New Zealand with many old petrol station signs, gasoline canisters, petrol pumps and more. Out at the back wall there is even an old wooden truck. Upstairs there is a mezzanine floor going around the building giving you a vantage point to look down upon the classic cars from above and there are also more cars upstairs to look at as well as a collection of old motorbikes.
Overall my impressions were good and well worth the trip for a weekend event, date etc. However it is a tad expensive taking everything into account. Perhaps they could arrange a meal and museum combo?
Well lets have a look at some of the pictures, also if you want to see all the cars check out the YouTube video at the bottom.
Well that's all for this week. Perhaps I will take you somewhere special next week. ^^
Until then have a great week and wow it's almost Christmas! >.<
