Wellington Truck Show 2016 (3)

The Wellington Rural Fire Authority has this 8 wheeler Scania for bringing water to fires where it is difficult to access.

Noel Cooper from Otaki, displayed this tall tipper.

Must be one of the smartest W900s around.

I know it was a truck show, but this 2010 Ferrari attracted plenty of attention.

This Cat has a sun visor so sturdy, it can support a car.

Chevy SSR convertible is cool.

Very original '56 Chev shows as a Bel-Air on rego label, but is actually a Two-Ten sport sedan.

Driver training tanker was propped up to demonstrate its retractable learner wheels.

On the way home I decided to ride through Whitemans Valley and spotted this ex army Bedford RL rotting away in a field.

Once back in the Wairarapa I diverted through Martinborough.
From the look-out on Bidwell's Cutting, this irrigated dairy farm is in stark contrast to the rest of the area, which is dry brown.
