Hey guys,

I have just released my film.

It's for a competition. If you enjoy it, please throw me a vote.

There is no registration requirement, and you can vote once per day.

When the competition ends, I will post a full resolution version of the video and make it available for anyone to download and add to their collections.

Thanks!

Hi Ruff, just spent 2 weeks in NZ on the North Island in a +2. My 40th or so trip to NZ but still amazed at the enjoyable roads. Years ago I asked local friend which were the best driving roads in NZ and his reply was "any one with a Maori name!" which I think sums it up.

My favourites from this trip were Havelock North to Eketahuna via Kahuranaki, Wiapukurau, Porangahau, and Pongaroa. What a blast! Had intended to continue to Martinborough via Tiraumea, Bideford and Wainuioru - lack of fuel got in the way.

Highway 4 from Whangarei to the Chateau is fabulous and the return to Havelock North on the Taihape to Hastings road provided yet another must do.

Will be back later in the year to head to the South Island and will aim to have a run along your suggested route. Bought the car for these trips with a view to sell afterwards and the Isuzu 5 speed suited the car/roads perfectly .

Cheers Peter
