Car-mad LJ’s special birthday
WILLIAM WOODWORTH A mum’s community callout to make her son’s third birthday party special saw Blenheim’s Mary Street become a showcase of many of Marlborough’s coolest vehicles on Saturday. Catherine Mafi’s post on Face-

very grateful for the turnout from everyone today”, said Catherine, as cars of all shapes and sizes continued to roar past. “I was just expecting it to flop, or just one or two cars come along, but the community love has been absolutely heartwarming with all sorts of people tagging one an-
other to come down. “LJ just loves cars and car racing and has been in his little racing suit just astounded and waving the whole time.” As well as being amazed by the stream of vehicles going past, LJ got behind the wheel of Steve Reed’s Corvette.
Catherine and husband Lance Toala thanked everyone who took the time out of their Saturday to provide a special thrill for their boy and invited many in to share his birthday cake. “You all really made LJ’s birthday special, and we’re really feeling the love”, added Catherine.
