Be sure to eat lots of fish and chips everywhere you go. Not restaurants but the little takeaway shops. The best. Meat pies and sausage rolls are great also.

Great Hospitality in NZ.
Dave showed off his 66 Vette & 68 GMC pickup North of Auckland.
I know this is the Ford barn, but these are cool cars & rightfully Dave is proud of his beer fridge.
Got an invite to meet Graham & for members of his club this Saturday in Christchurch.
Looking forward to it.
Currently in Taupo for couple days.

Graham and all the guys in Christchurch are good friends of mine. You’re in for a treat.

Love to see some photos since I'll never get to NZ

This post by the late V8Coopman is one of the best posted on the BARN for posting pictures.

Have you learned how Lake Taupo was formed? I wouldn't want to have been anywhere near it.

Re: 53 Customline is in New Zealand
 

Yes, the whole world was a different place, for quite while, after Lake Taupo came into being.

Re: 53 Customline is in New Zealand
 

In Havelock North now till Saturday AM. The off to Christchurch & South Island

Lake Taupo formation was large or largest in the world.

Pictures coming.

Saturday the National Hot Rod meet is here. Seeing various car clubs start to arrive. Nice cars.

Great to catch up with you yesterday.
Glad you are having a great time Randy.
Hope you are getting use to driving on the left side and not the wrong side of the road.

Be sure you go to Invercargill and see the Transportation Museum and the motorcycle museum. Both amazing.
