Used Cars

Last night, this car transporter left the road, just south of Piopio.

Obligingly, he ended up well off the road, and so I slept the frosty night through in my warm bed.

Today we had to recover it, and there was no option but to close the road, and put a lengthy detour in place.

You can see why.

The crane takes up the whole road, and Murphy's Law states that there must always be at least a 11kv power line in the way.


The job went pretty smoothly, but it takes a while, even if things go well.

I did offer a couple of hundred bucks for the Range Rover Vogue and was willing to toss in a few kilo's of onions from last weeks roll over on State Highway 4.



I think they are still considering my generous offer ....

Lost & Found

A rather lost looking individual stopped one of our guys on Monday.
He had crashed his car on the weekend, then couldn't remember where.
Must have been a good party.

The cone is a giveaway in the photo.
It has been found.
It is a sign to us and others, that something has been seen.

In the willows you can see the missing car.

They are weedy looking trees, but it has unerringly found a big stump
and looks rather bent and sad.
