Fresh back from another week in Motueka, a few of our faithful readers have reminded me that it’s been more than a month since the last post.

Fine. You want a post, here you go:

Kiwis love trailer hitches. Surprisingly, it’s not a for a lack of large sports utility vehicles. Must be something subconscious. Or maybe it has to do with all those horse floats.

Anyway, I’ve been trying to accumulate photos for a “crazy tow vehicles” featurette, but my shutter-finger hasn’t been fast enough (best so far: a Lexus SC430 towing a massive trailer full of tree trimmings).

Luckily, my neighbors obliged, at least well enough for me to write the darned post:




One Jaguar (an XJ8, if you must know) towing a … generator? Who knows. It would be better if it was towing a massive barbecue, of course.

Filler number two: By far the most testos-terrific car a middle-aged man could possibly desire down here is this thing:



The improbably named Holden Maloo. The El Camino is dead. Long live the El Camino.

Sweet as.

Let this be a lesson to you next time you get the urge to nag me about blog posts….
