The view from my "office"

10 Years difference, Oliver Solberg playing scalextric at the service park for Rally NZ in 2012 whilst his father Petter was competing.

It was wet! I did declare that I had been a bit muddy on my return to Australia yesterday.
 
It reminds me whem mrsdrron was driving our Datsun 1600 on the back roads of the Flinders ranges. Went through a creek crossing and a couple of moments later looked out my ewindow and a wheel was travelling beside us. Problem was it was our left rear wheel/. Hadn't noticed any difference in handling. a great little car.
Ours was a real gem as we got it serviced by a guy that used to race them at Bathurst.

The drive to Coronet Peak offers great views over Queenstown’s other ski field, the Remarkables.

When you consider the tiny white patch in the valley at the centre of the picture below includes an entire ski field, you begin to appreciate just how big these mountain are.

These two photos aim to show the steepest run at Coronet Peak, “The Hurdle”.

It’s hard to give perspective from either the top or bottom, just how steep it is. So you’ll have to trust my aching legs.

These photos are from halfway down and the steepness of the chairlift might give some perspective.

The run home called “Pro Am”. Also pretty steep.

The last photo. When I first saw it I thought it was a ship capsizing in the surf. Deck chairs abandoned! High sand dune with fields in the background. I know it’s snow, but my image is hard to in-see!

This morning, on the way to visit friends, we were looking for a place to have coffee. Google suggested “coughpit” at Breda International Airport (ESHE), just off the A58 motorway. Never heard of it before! It is a general aviation airfield known before 2015 as Seppe Airport.

We had coffee, of course accompanied by apple pie and cream,
