    A quirky Northland destination with great feeder roads and local dirt drag racing.

    First winter ride for 2025 had a 250mile / 400km run to the Old Parakao Store in Mangakahia, Northland.
    We stopped to pickup our lead in Kaukapakapa and topped up fuel in Wellsford.

    Meet up at Dairy Flat Autobahn

    What a lot of eye candy there! Love the red (American?) coupe! The other red car with the black stripe across the hood is unfamiliar (?). Looks like a fun day with some fun-loving lads to keep you company!

    It was a fun ride and enjoyable company.
    Holden (Red coupe with black stripe) is Australian General Motors, that used to produce some classic cars
