Dave and Rich stayed over last night. Took them for a spin in Viva, New world for all sorts of essential BBQ stuff and then into the cider. Was all good. The best bit was a quick spin in the Celica. I wont have been the only one to declare after the first 10 secs that I want a car like this. Hannah went a spin in it and came back grinning ear to ear. I'm sizing up a 1uz for one day...

Just simply awesome- the speed and the sound!!!

They are taking it up and over Takaka hill today after I told them what an awesome hill climb it is.

Here's some pics and a short vid I took. Please excuse the girlie squeals of delight...

Yeah we are lucky to get a place there.

Yep I think going by the amount of sausages that we all ate they met the appropriate standards.

Richies new car by the way...has the coolest feature. A button below the radio switches on a tiny bulb to illuminate the radio area. Oh my. I so want that in my Viva. and a radio..

what a fucking epic trip!!!

i would happily do it again tomorrow.

the celica went faultlessly all the way and Richie and i had some epic times in the car driving a couple of sublime roads!

Richie has pretty much covered it but id like to thank everyone again anyway.

To all the people i met along the way, all the people who showed me around their sheds, the people who extended their kindness and hospitality to a complete stranger, i thank you.

i was lucky enough to see the greatest side of the OS community first hand, and its something to be proud of.

thanks again to you all.

and now, some photos i took along the way, in no particular order, or skill,

hanging out at Dane's place
