Dodged a Big Bullet in Tauranga

Ship arrived in Tauranga on 30/11. I had tried for 2 weeks to talk my wife and the 2 friends we travelled with into doing the White Island Volcano Tour. Just something I wanted to have on the bucket listn (Walked on a live Volcano) I was extremely fortunate that I had no takers. My wife Sue's exact words on repeated occasions were, "why would I go anywhere near a Volcano that might erupt at any minute".

We decided to do the V8 Trike tour instead of the Volcano.

3 Wheel Trike with a Fuel injected small block Chev (350ci).

I have had some nice and fast cars over many decades including a BMW M3, Jaguar XJR and and a Jaguar XJ8 convertible. However, there is no substitute for the throb and exhaust note of an old American bent 8.

Cheers,
John B
