Down at the other end of NZ, we met up with the guy who owns a huge hardware shop in Invercargill where the original bike od Burt Munro (John's father) is stored in a glass case! This is a John and Neville standing in front of the car that was used for the film, The Worlds Fastest Indian
Three good things:
1. Internet is slow here but now and then you can get through
2. People are so friendly and they do talk about whanau a lot.
3. Staying in a backpackers is Such Fun!
Great capture of the car and it's present owners. I loved that movie. Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorite actors (except for The Hannibal movies which I've never seen, way too scary).
Great picture and story Maggiemae. Are you staying in. Top10 park. We used them almost exclusively when in NZ. They were great and we met such an interesting mix of people.
@ceilidh no not a park, Margaret. This is a 114 year old stone building that was built for a post office in 1900! Now a backpackers and I love to oddness of it,
What fun in a back packers......you can pretend you are in your teens again! John has fabulous wavy hair........stiil looking like teenagers the pair of you!
How exciting to see this car & the guy with the car would be very keen to meet John to.....a good time had by all!
@nanalisarocks you are quick with this identification! I think that is where Burt bought the car but there might have been a few plates exchanged for the movie!
