Funny thing...was rummaging through my shed last week looking for a particular pane of glass, and came across a couple of empty stubbies, labelled:
"Canterbury Radiator
Co Ltd.
With compliments
ANTI-FREEZE
4% Alc/Vol.
The best place to come for a leak."
(One is on the desk in front of me as I write.)
They were given to me by some reprobate by the name of Gerard McCloy at Muscle Car Madness 2012 after I trailered his model A paddock basher from Methven to Rangiora.
Neither Gerard nor Annemarie are beer drinkers...but I am!
So when I refused payment for trailering the A, he gave me a couple of stubbies of your beer...so, well, you know how it is, rather than see it wasted...

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
