World's most average photographer

In this day and age where everyone seems to carry some sort of camera around with them at all times, it would make sense that I would have the common sense to photograph what I see so I could share it with you, but I'm a firm believer in the old ways and would rather tell stories (and I just bloody well forgot I brought my camera up specifically to take pics...) of what I encounter.

Well today was a day full of interesting things. Started bright and early with a 5am start to get ready to fly up north to pick up a car and some bits to fit in said car, as well as talk to some mates who I hadn't seen since  had been up last.

I landed, proceeded to do the needy and fulfill contractual obligations as with any car sale. I then filled said car up with some guards, as well as an SR20 right in time for Race Warz. I tried to keep this car a secret till I could post it on the blog, but lol we all know what gossips we are so for some of you, this car comes as no surprise, but to others, this will be the first time you see or hear about it. So without further adieu, here it is, in all its dual 1st gear glory!

Guess which one is mine? Haha. Also here's a plug for my mate Anthony Wong who runs Wongs Kitchen in Hamilton. 99% of us already have had some or know about it, but if you are ever close by, drop in and say hi. No 3 Massey Street in Hamilton for what is arguably some of the best fried chicken in NZ!

If you were stumped, here it is. A 1995 Honda Shuttle Beagle 4WD Super Old Lady special. A miniscule 150xxxkms, all legal beagle (hah, the last of the lame puns hopefully).

Some interesting facts about this car, it has 2 first gears! 1 being Super Low, and the other being the normal take off first gear. It has a working sunroof that isn't totally boned (surprising for an EF), front headlight washer sprayers, a nudge bar for no apparent reason, a bucketload of interior space, and the awesome ability to go absolutely wild on gravel and dirt tracks haha.

First things first tho is giving this a good old fashioned scrub down and brush up. It needs a bit of loving, but nothing a bit of TLC can't fix. As this is going to be a daily/parts hauler, modifications will be held off for time being, but the first couple things on my wish list is a rear parcel tray, some flood/spotlights and a towbar.

Stay tuned for more updates on the fleet, but for time being, most updates will be boring as I need to sell my green MR2 before I can start doing proper work on the other cars.
