Fast cars, loud music and helicopters. It's all very rock'n' roll. But despite the organiser's impressive aerial entrance, on the
Ferrari Car Display at Tauranga Bridge Marina was all about charity. Organised by legendary AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd, the gold-coin event for
the Look Good Feel Better charity drew thousands of enthusiastic,
high-octane car fans, keen to see the huge collection of supercars. MC for the event, Warwick Hall, said there were about 40 Ferraris on show, two of which belonged to Mr Rudd.
