Carry on camper-vaning NZ style
... of motorway I'll ever drive on, it was like driving up Otley chevin with chicanes like Silverstone whilst steering a barge, and then the views were just amazing, i was driving at like 50mph staring at the landscape for miles until i realised 35 cars queued behind us!, the Kiwi's are really impatient drivers i have realised, which is annoying having a really slow campervan because I hate being followed!...
