In Oz
Managed to get Crazy John's data SIM card working in the NZ Vodafone USB mobile internet stick that was designed never to be used this way.

Strange Bird
I was waiting at the airport lookout for a few minutes, and this Pukeko jumped on top of the hedge, walked along the top, then flew away down into the valley. Odd!

Fathers' Day Drags at Meremere
I spent a pleasant few hours watching the Drags at Meremere today. They were all street-legal cars. Over the top of the windscreen of this one reads 'Random Breast Testing'.
Chris (The Burger), our tyre man and Rob's friend was there with his Camaro. He gets 12.75 or so on a good run. This run was 13.33 seconds, crossing the line at 101.5 mph.
Look at the power going from car to road through the tyre.
Here is one of the quickest runs of the day. 136 mph = 231 kmh in under 10 seconds!
