All filler, all the time
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….

Motueka isn’t all bad. This is what I’ve really been doing:

(no, really… aerial photography from microlights…)
Though I’m now more than adequately familiar with both of Motueka’s restaurants .. er , fish and chips shops.
