Truck Show time!

The Historic Transport Museum Trust is a group of people dedicated to preserving transport history in the upper South Island. They hold a show each year and in early October I went out to Pigeon Valley, south of Nelson, to have a look at this year’s event.

amazing effort to get their vehicles looking their best for the show. Some trucks that really stood out to me were three stunning Kenworth Aerodynes, belonging to

Austin Transport Services Kenworth Aerodynes

I got a job as a garbage truck driver. There was no training, but I’m sure I’ll pick it up as I go.
