Hey down there, when I was on my GS in New Zealand I soon realized that Kiwis like it to have special letterboxes. I always took pictures when I saw one...Back home in Germany I created a poster with all the letterboxes I took pictures from. It's on the wall in my living-room now - as a reminder to New Zealand: If anybody is interested to have it as a poster as well - just send me a message and I'll send you the fileBest wishes from Gerrmanybernd

I can almost agree Jim, the temperatures have been extraordinarily good but unfortunately the down side has been the bloody roads melting at a rate of knots  😡  I'm sure you've experienced it already?  Wayne and Helen Cann and ourselves came through a really bad patch in the South Island where the buggers had laid the tar over the whole road then sprinkled the grit but hadn't rolled it yet  😐  The bikes looked like spotted dick pudding and when we stopped for fuel I was dropping chips all over the forecourt.  Took me a day with rag and solvent to clean the stuff off.  However I have to say that most of the roads down south were in perfect condition so it was a price worth paying – I think.Malcolm

Hey Jim, I hope your New Year's pledge is: I don't wanna make fun of the poor guys in Germany any more just because they are drowning in snow  😀I've seen this one in Switzerland....CheersBernd

My new job has me driving around NZ and taking photos! Here are two I picked up. The fish is Wellington, Grenada North, Takapu Road. (Lifestyle blocks.)The Number nine is over in Titahi Bay. It's made of fibreglass. Can't help but think of the Beatles song, 'Revolution.' Remember the repetitive line, 'Numbere nine, 'numbere nine, number nine....."

Sure do Dave, I also remember that there was supposed to be a hidden message and you could hear it if you played the LP very slowly (turned the disc by hand) which a group of us did one night when we were all a bit sloshed…  Best we could make out was something that sounded very much like “turn me on dead man” repeated over and over again.    😕  Don't suppose you can throw any light on the topic?Malcolm

Malcolm. The backward masking time. I think I do remember something about that, but never heard it. “Stairway to heaven” was supposed have something too.  But I digress…..
