Road trip NZ style

Today, while traveling from Alexandra to Dunedin, I passed these three tractors. They were on a road trip, probably two or three days travel, to go to a 'Crank Up' vintage show at a tiny town called Edendale. There is an annual event for vintage vehicles and machinery there. The three drivers looked pretty pleased to have their photos taken!

@julzmaioro Yep - funny, I was thinking about George when I passed them - wrong kind of tractors….?

Edendale is a great day out on crank up day, I'm an ex southlander.

@julzmaioro and @happypat - Google crank up weekend Edendale - I'm sure George and Harry will enjoy reading about it!

Lovely collage Dianne, each subject beautifully capture, a road trip only for the very brave, tractors are slow, noisy and most uncomfortable things to drive far, I know from my farming upbringing:)

[Pat Knowles]

Tractors.......the love of lots of men's lives! Great collage of these lovely well looked after machines!

[Maggie]

Excellent shots and I especially like the retro caravan.

[Judith Johnson]

Excellent shots! My grandson would love these as he's into tractors at the moment. He's only 16 months old and he has his own word for 'tractor' already!

[Irene]

Fantastic collages, even the caravan looks vintage

[Karen]

There is something about old tractors, great collage.
