OK, there were I think about 200 classic trucks by the time we got to Invercargill (Picton

West Coast

Invercargill for the opening of a massive truck Museum

East Coast

Picton). Any questions just ask.
When we arrived in Picton. From left

Two Awesome Hippo's

Another fav of mine, Old International:

On the Takaka Hill:

The back

The front (Cab yet to be restored- almost everything else done)

Vic's Incredible Leyland Hippo. In excess of $150,000 spent on this. (I was lucky enough to get a ride in both his trucks)

Vic's Beaver Again

A nice Mack B from Motueka (got a ride in it
