Some of dad’s cars & trucks!

No reason for this post other than memories…  ;-)

These are some of the vehicles I’ve owned over the years. There’s been quite a few more but I don’t have all the photos. Quite strange looking back at all the odd cars and trucks we’ve had…  ;-)

Some of dad’s bikes…

I found a pile of old vehicle photos from my past. Here’s a few of the bikes I’ve owned over the years. There’s been more than this but these are the ones I have photos of…

The red scooter was the first vehicle I owned. I loved that bike!

Note: The black 750cc Katana arrives tomorrow thanks to selling the jet Kayaks last week  ;-)

Dad’s New Truck!

Sarah and I decided to get another truck as we’re both wanting to tow things in the weekends! Her with the float and me with the boat. SO this is the new beast. 3litre 1996 intercooled Diesel Hilux Surf. Should get me up the rivers!

Dad’s old farm truck

We just purchased this old 1985 Nissan Safari off Trademe the other day for only $4750. Awesome truck… It’s old, but mint! and was owned by an old Grandad that hardly used it.

The truck was always garaged over 20 years, serviced every 6 months and has only 125km genuine miles!!!

Also has near new Wrangler tyres, winch, bullbars and nearly everything under the hood is new, or like new! Just have to suss out getting 12v out the rear instead of 24v, then it’ll be great!
Should make a great second tow vehicle!

Sarah’s new horse float! Yay!





Sarah’s new horse float has finally arrived! I hope she really enjoys it and uses it heaps – Sarah’s a wonderful mum, wife and really deserves this…

Well, it had to happen!

The Stones bought a family wagon. A 1996 3ltr Hilux Surf – Intercooled Turbo Diesel. Got a decent bit of grunt under the hood too! We’ll have to ‘Try’ it down the Waimak one day!
