Congratulation Invercargill, the Burt Munro Challenge (http://www.burtmunrochallenge.com) was a stunning success. I will return next year for sure.The ride from Auckland gave an opportunity to enjoy parts of new Zealand long forgotten. Even minus 3 degrees crossing the Lindis Pass at 0600 in the morning on our way home again was fabulous.The Invercargill hospitality was unparalleled and even

Well Done Helen Clark. Ramming through the Electoral Funding act (whatever its called) the other day has very likely sealed your fate. I certainly looks like something I would have expected for Robert Mugabe rather than a New Zealand politician. Are you really that determined to hold on to power at all costs?I love the new cars too.

The ongoing Government foolishness surrounding the future of the Hobsonville Air Force base in West Auckland get worse and worse. Hobsonville is located on a peninsula in the Upper Watemata Harbour as seen in this old photo.
