Also added in a couple of my favourite photos not in the print issue: Katrina and Dennis Craigie - they feature in the gold star fire fighter award story page 3 in the Leader and on Stuff: www-alpha.stuff.co.nz...)
The Craigies are mellowing-out in Mallowpuff their camper at the Kai car show, and also John Martin of Cromwell in his 1926 Alvis TG Beetleback Roadster, which has been restored with an aluminium polish, at the 46th South Otago Vintage Car Club rally at Balclutha, along with Tony andJudy Gold of Balclutha, and their 1965 Nash Metropolitan. I want one - or all three of these quirky and well loved automobiles. I wouldn't be picky.
