From a quick run around Pirongia between showers this morning.
Bell road.
An old Coupe in Pirongia.
Livestock wandering on the road. One young heifer just behind these two, udders bouncing along nicely.

I like the countryside south of the Bombays, nice to see it. I cant get there for a while yet.
I have no idea what this one is but.....
Got one very similar in my street, some sort of Ford Flat head V8 I think, comes out for a spin on the odd occasion.
Narrow tyres etc, but sounds both lazy and cool when it starts off. Never in a rush.
Got to wonder about those tyres. The people have a few other classic cars too.
I will have a better look at it next time I see it.

The coupe in my pic is a 38/39 Chevvy. (I think).
Here is a video of that ride last week after playing with Live movie maker. Have also posted it in my rides thread but dont think anyone much views that.

Cool,
I will have to check out the one in my street, they only bring it out on rare occasions.
Reminds me I want to go to the Southward Car Museum again.
Last time, there was a very nice gentleman you kindly showed us under the bonnet of several cars.
He was Sir Len Southwards' mechanic. He only helped out on Sundays from memory.
He was full of info - I like going to these types of places and meeting the people who can show you around a bit.
Only things I would have liked to do more was to listen to some of the engines run - apart from driving or being driven around.
Going to make a list of places to visit in NZ for this type of thing now that my Mbike Bucket list is almost complete.
Will try and do it by bike - Nth Is anyway.
Thanks Awa355 - can you post a link to your rides thread
Just seen your video - reminds me I got to figure out how to do that, and make dvds of some of the videos I have (non mbike)
keep up the good work. Normally I don't like music over the bike, quite liked this one though it was COOL (temperature as well)
I would be worried about the black ice myself so taking it easy/smooth is the way to go.

Cheers, great photo's.
Missed the video with the bouncing udders though ?

I might go for a nice ride to Kawhia tomorrow morning

Thought if I saw the bike/s I'd say hello, but since posting I've looked at other roads between Oto and Rangitoto that I might go exploring. Last day of my AL before work and its too nice to waste.
