Amazing to see that they can fit…

up to 60 people into …..

one of these small lifeboats.

Looks like they are getting ready

to ship out lots & lots of apples this season.

Yachts having a good time tonight….

did you know that other than just the sunshine our region is known for….we also get the odd breeze or two. Obviously these yachts out tonight found that out for themselves?

Random windsurfers just thrown in the mix for extra effect!

While on the subject of classic cars

this muscle car beauty delivered the bride to a wedding I attended Saturday, Original too.

After this weekends Annual Carshow…

one of the many convoys leave town.

Why was the Main street closed Saturday…..

Well it was because town,

and the main street of Nelson, Trafalgar St

played host to dozens of market stalls setup for the annual marketday bargains for shoppers.

Waitangi Day was Wednesday last week…

this local sign made sure in a creative way, we knew about it .

Another before and after…

Before

and the aftermath

from the Burnout Competition day at the Nelson Car Show this past weekend.

Tahunanui Outdoor Fitness Area, Nelson…

 

As if you needed another reason to love the place.

Devine Fitness Equipment, Fulton Hogan, Nelmac and Nelson North Lions Club are to be commended

and thanked for their foresight in giving Nelson such a fabulous array of outdoor exercise equipment….

… spread along the parkway near the road, and therefore readily accessible by everyone.

Classic Boats is only a few weeks away…

There are some great events and happenings up at the Lakes around this time.

and if you do like old clinkers and that….best place to be all year. What a co-incidence my email just beeped and….

but it will only be until accommodation runs out I suspect.

Nelson tops New Zealand in…

….in ownership on per head basis of “classic cars."

An article in this weeks Leader alludes to the fact;

Nelson has the highest percentage of classic cars - which is cars that are at least 40 years old - per head of population in the country.

So its not surprising that the 9th Annual Nelson Car Show will be bigger than ever at its new location,

…ands its also not surprising that you can have a sort of Déjà vu moment many times while driving around the region?
