Well I hope everybody's New Year got off to a better start than ours.
We'd taken the bus over to Hastings for the NSRA New Year Celebration/Inebriation, returned home Friday, New Year's day.
Some rotten mongrel has swiped my spare tyre, and I have not (as yet,) been able to source a new rim.
Nett result - stuck on the side of the road just south of Patea for three hours with a blow-out...until Joe Bourke, the nice man from Universal Motors Patea came to our rescue with a second-hand tyre.

Thanks Joe!
