0R10N Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Omaka's collection must be looking a lot more anaemic now that half the fleet's been sold through Turners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are a lot more in storage because they've run out of space in the museum. They're going to start extending the place soon.

DB8-TypeR Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Below dunedin on the coast, from memory there a town named Owaka there and the pub sells pens saying "where the fuck is owaka" and the old fulla who owns basically the town has a private museum with lots of tractors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 My favourite part is the 330kmh speedo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0R10N Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Plenty of roads down those ways to try and see how close to 330km/h you can get... Â Scenic route from Dunners to Invers. Turn left off SH1 at Balclutha by the Ford garage. Â That's a quaint little Ford dealership. Also on Google Maps there's an orange KE70 on Tridents outside the Z next door.

V8Pete Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 My favourite part is the 330kmh speedoMan, there was some cock in a Prado towing a trailer of doors at like 75 km/h with a line of 10 cars stuck behind him for 10+ km. So many opportunities to pull over but he didn't. I only saw ~7000 rpm on the tacho passing them after I got fed up. I scare myself thinking back wondering what gear I was in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Went nearly all the way to Akaroa but the weather wasn't great and it was getting late and dark and starting to rain so bailed. Had A+ afternoon tea and yarns at Little River Camshafts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Pete Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Was amazed how lush it looked a bit out of Dunedin. Then bam! It was like a different countries on opposite sides of whatever that hill thing's called. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
