Vic Hungerford, Biglorryblog's 'other' Krafty Kiwi has just sent me these pictures and the message: "Hi Brian, I've just returned from a four-day trip with 'Grandad's Mobility Scooter' [i.e. Vic's immaculate International tractor] around the top half of the
Well Vic I think you're a lucky man..not everyone gets to ark their B-Train tanker outfit next to the house at night! Anyway let's hit the road with Vic shall we?
And what are those mountains in the background Vic? Mordor?
Plentyn of snow on the tops of them anyway. And what's that growing in the field..Raspberries? Grapes?
Country roads...take me home. That cheeky b#gger Rod Simmonds has obviously seen the pictures as he says: "When I have time I'll teach you how to use a camera!" Well I don't think you need anything other than a telephoto lens to 'pull-in' the background.
You see? Even with a bit of cropping with a normal lens it works. Is that a riding school sign?
It's true what they say about the New Zealand landscape...breath-taking! Now click through here for a couple more from Vic.
And nice wide roads too...heaven.
Save me a space Vic...Biglorryblog is on his way.
Great I will definitely come over from South Australia for a visit.
You'll have to learn to "talk proper" before you come down here, Brian. Fields are what you play rugby or that other game with the round ball on. Those are grapes growing on what used to be a sheep paddock, Pinot Noir grapes, if you are interested.

The snow-covered mountains are part of the Southern Alps.
Better look up on Google Earth BW!
A great view from your office window Vic, almost as good as our Aussie scenery. Could I help with your paperwork or do QA checks on the load.
