oh, yea..

a mate of mine brought a old holden up in taupo to restore, so i arranged to come home with him..

was a bit of a boring trip home as i couldn't lean in to the corners, sitting on the passengers seat....

Hello..

yes, i like to get the most out of every ride...and the desert road was a little different,,,to say the least...i was most worried about a car hitting me from behind..as was difficult to see.....and speed was not on the cards...

so when we going for a ride...must be your turn to organize a ride in your aera..

how about a gental annie loop ride...you be up for that..

And one journey ends and another begins. She just loved humming up through Hwy27 passing all vehicles she saw. Anything over 120kph and she shook her head somewhat but am sure we can soon give her a bit more speed before the wobbles. She just loves the warm climate of the North and looks forward to the likes of top of the Coro, back roads out raglan way and quite possibly a few trips to distant shores. May even be seen in the deepest south on such events as the dusty butt, Not this year however.
