A Kiwi at the camera: March 2011

What kiwi blokes build in their sheds - the final part

Testing day finally at Pukekohe - 240k up the back straight even with the gearing too low,

feeling like you are being fired out of a canon and not to mention the amazing

grip of the new lighter wheels and slicks.

Tony - I think you can rate this as a huge success!!

What serious hifi looks like , actually much nicer than that transitor stuff !

Almarro 340 monoblocs

Interestingly the output tubes (the big ones) are russian, and were once used in the Mig 25 fighter

Auckland at night part 3 - the Sky Tower

(By the way this is not a Photoshop trick -

if you own an SLR and a zoom lens you have all you need)

Only the hardy souls ..........

Wind whistling like some a south pole adventure. Somebody’s long suffering girlfriend muttering on the bench ignoring the “can you pass me the 17mm ” request.

Hefty tripod useless , needed to be weighted with bricks.........

But, surf, oh yes, this is the west coast and I love it.
