Hi and welcome from another NZer. I too am just a little envious of your fleet too especially the A Pickup in the back ground. Little story for you, My grand father who had a small farm at Tirau had a Model A pickup parked beside the cow shed that disappeared while I was still too young to demand that it would be mine, LOL, anyway the last time I saw that pickup was in the industrial area of State Highway One in Putaruru. It still fustrates me today that somebody else got my toy. I always look at Model A's and wonder if it could of been the one I played in so many years ago.
Anyway, welcome here and, yes , a great bunch of friendly people. Oh I have an awesome photo of the Oldz to that I took at the Beach Hop a while back when it rained and the water was all beaded up on the shiny paint, it is an awesome car.
You wouldn't be Mark the panelbeater who worked for the GM Dealer on Old Taupo Road ?
