110/366 - Moto-man


Moto-man is made from old auto parts, and lives at Mapua Auto Centre. Very inventive :)

109/366 - Mapua bedstead fence

I sometimes walk past this fence, and am constantly intrigued by its ingenuity! Frodo seems pretty interested too! Stafford Drive/Warren Place, Ruby Bay.

90/366 - Bovine Flatulence Zone

Spotted this hilarious sign on the way to Blenheim this morning. Wonder if they realise there is a spelling mistake? But I am sure the cows don't mind, anyway!

69/366 - Horse with no name. . .

Mailbox at Mouse Point Road, Culverden
I admire this mailbox every time we drive past on our way to Christchurch. Well today I stopped and took a photo! Ingenious use of an old milk churn and lots of other scrap metal :)

49/366 - Robertson's Nelson Trolley Derby

Pre-race nerves?
Grim determination. . .

Cruising towards the finish

The Nelson Trolley Derby - whereby a bunch of people from 6 years upwards hurtle in homemade wheeled, unpowered contraptions down a hill at up to 70 km per hour! Lots of thrills, spills and excitement! So entertaining, there is even a movie being made about it! So many photos taken (137!) - I couldn't just share one!!
