In my yoof my family always spent our annual hols in Queenstown, (when it was still owned by NZers). My brother and I made friends with this family that had a crib, (batch for foreigners) and their next door neighbour was Mr Big at Cable Price, importers of Mercedes Benz and later Toyota. He lived in the Nelson area and motored down to Queenstown in his BIG Merc. It was the only one of its kind in the country and it was not only fast, but very fast! It wasn't a sports car like a 300SL or 190SL, but a big coupe. He would strap himself in with a full racing harness and wear a crash helmet. He used to post some very quick times from Nelson to Queenstown.
Bear in mind this was some years before seatbelts were introduced into the country.
