John (Subs) Subritzky

When John saw 6x6s in the movies, he wanted one! His first truck, a WWII GMC, seemed a bit smaller in real life than he imagined.

Subs has been involved in convoys, tours and events for over 30 years. He has helped organise National Rallies, campouts and trail rides. John has managed his local branch as well as being webmaster for the NZMVC. He is handling the media/comms side of Armistice 100.

The MVPA International Convention in St Louis in 1981 made a big impression on John. He hitched a ride in the back of an M Series 6x6 350 miles back to Al Williams’ farm. After a week there he went on to the Oshkosh Airshow, returning via the DUKW rides in the Dells. A life member of MVPA, John is in it for the long haul.

John is married to Kerrie and they have five children who are now all drivers. MVs have been part of many family adventures and memories. John is looking forward to the 2018 convoy as part of his bucket list!
