DRIVING TO AUCKLAND

After another great night at Hotel So and their bar What …I know you are thinking SO WHAT, but the place is fabulous! An early morning start at McGregor Motorsport to complete final checks, gasoline and be entertained by our youngest passenger on his booster seat with ear protection. [I would too in the MACH 7V8]


A group of fellow 7 owners decided to farewell us from Christchurch so we all assembled at Stephen’s house to convey out of town.


The plan included lunch at the Mud House Winery – it seems my MACH SR7 is just doomed to spend time on such excursions. No objections’ on my part or from co-driver bother Grant.


After the inevitable inquisitive collection of people asking about the cars, taking photo’s and having a chance to sit inside the cockpit we said our farewells and began the first part of our drive home with a planned overnight stopover in Picton. This part of the journey is stunning, driving north has a kaleidoscope of vista’s equal to any I have seen in my global travels.
