My Td5 Defender was on of my favorite vehicles ever... happy happy memories! Grew up with a 1978 series 3 109 in the family. Long slow drives to Sodwana and Mozambique, up the beach to Mabibi, Even more happy memories!

You are absolutely right on all counts. Have a nice day.

Not cool, be better.

The lizard suits the style and gold colour better. What a beauty!

So as far as getting together for a bit of a catch-up and MTB’ing the Redwood forest goes... you okes pretty much sucked. Fortunately the forest has been glorious today and should be great tomorrow too.

SOOO, who is coming to Rotorua this weekend for a bit of MTB’ing? I am driving down Fri eve with another recently arrived MTB’er.

Strangest thing EVER iS when you come across the process of moving house. Like literally, pick it up, out it on a truck and move it! In the south of Auckland there are yards full of old houses that you can buy and have moved to your stand.

Oh that’s great to hear! Going to be selling my Jeep towards the end of the year.

...again. I remember the last round of the Cradle wars with thumbtacks strewn on the road, road rage all over the place. Shouting matches with the residents... Such a complete own-goal and ruins the best riding route in the whole city for everyone.

Here in New Zealand ALL venison is red deer.First time I was offered venison I asked “what kind”? Got a very strange look. Had to explain that the term venison actually refers to ANY wild antelope meat, and where we come from there are plenty of different types of those...
