WOW! Very cool Aaryn, thanks for sharing.
Hahaha, thats where the "old bombs" had to park. Im the MAN To be honest, these pictures are taken at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. There is an amazing WW1 & WW2 exhibition of aircraft etc here (5 minutes from my house) & most of which belong to Sir Peter Jackson, & alot of the exhibits were made at Weta Workshops. Pretty amazing place. Every two years at Easter we play host to the Classic Fighters Air Show, this year April 14-16th. The bomb is just a prop, there is actually a trench just behind it too. In one or two of the photos you can see a DC-3 & an old Bristol Freighter sitting on the airfield. A couple of pics from 2015.

The NZ McLaren Dealership is in the North Island & very seldom do you see one. A lot of these cars were from around the world, & were shipped here for the Tour. Fitting seeing as this is the true home of McLaren.
Thanks Angus,

Agree, very odd for anyone who didn't know.
Aaryn NZ, :xyxthumbs:
:props: Agreed!
Ouch!!! . . . they're Kiwis . . . . :cry:
No but I did have a good yarn with the crew from McLaren & made some good contacts. :xyxthumbs: I'd have to go & buy a lift for the shop - my poor old back would grizzle at the thought of working on these consecutively.

Thanks Mike. :xyxthumbs:
I wont tell you what happened to the twenty million dollar F1 two days after this . . . :cry:
:xyxthumbs: the more I looked at the angles of the P1 the more I liked it, very very sexy car.
Thank you Don. :xyxthumbs:

Hmmm..........Not sure what I like more. The McLarens, or that WWII Supermarine Spitfire.
Kick ass pics, Aaryn. Thanks, buddy!!
Thank you. :xyxthumbs:
Hmmm, I understand completely. I saw a clip today of an airshow in the UK & they had 16 Spitfires flying in formation at one time . . . the sound . . . Wow! 16 Rolls Royce Merlins . . . Aaargh! Amazing sound. Then, I can't fly a plane, so McLaren it is. :xyxthumbs:
Hehehe, yep! We take supercar security very seriously down here! The sheep got too close & the VW transporter looked suspicious, so a rocket was fired as a warning.

Super to see, thought the rocket might have been a N Korean test shot.
