    I once used the rego plate of this Morrie in a car trial I organised. Everyone wanted to know how I knew there would be a blue morrie parked on the side of the road!
    Too easty!

    And the next TAG (just to speed things up)
    A great spot to see the sunset. but if you turn around you will be able to spot the Sunrise.

    Yar! just in the nick of time, only 130 sleeps to next year.

    The blue 1955 Morris Minor is on East Road heading into Invercargill just before the dead centre of town ( cemetary) and is a testament to English quality steel, how long would a Holden have lasted, really.

    I recall a burgundy Austin on the poles as a kid when visiting Chernobyl South in the 60's and 70's as a sign that we were nearly there, it's a long way in an old Vauxhall.

    The blue Morrie always reminds me of the similar one we drove about in as teens on the piss apparently. It was a split window (54) with wavy arm indicators and powerfull 850 motor. We got it up to 95 MPH ( off the clock) on a very shaky jaunt down Perkins Hill ( Mataura) with it in nuetral, and managed to negotiate the corner at the bottom missing the cemetary. As powerful as it was it could not climb back up to the Hommer tunnel when coming out, and so we reversed it after lightening the load of a few full flaggons to empty

    So before leaving Invervegas tag i'll leave you with this aptly depressing song

    OBTW ...


    CONFIRMED well done Grover

    Entering the optomistical sunny ( or are they taking the piss) street there is a sign that says " Beware Kids". A fair warning I guess of the riff raff little arses of the area. FFS the street doesn't have any houses yet, they'd tag their dead grandmother if they had a chance.

    Next tag is a bit like the last, this can be found on slow street so no speeding to get there. Yes another formed street with signs, but no houses built as yet. Sorry bout the fence in the way as close as one could get from this side of street?


    On yer bikes.

    CONFIRMED


    Yes, if one were to be riding on slow down Onslow Street Invercargill they will spot this redundant looking street which is in fact a bicycle park for teaching kids the road rules before they hit the real roads. Glen Cockroft who most of us over 40 will recall was a cop when they did traffic control and Police were keeping crime down, he instigated this training park.

    NEXT!
