The 3.0S on "holiday"

Recommended Posts

The 3.0S has finally got to taste gravel in the South Island.

Day 1 was Methven to Palmerston using Mckenzies Pass and the Hakataramea Pass.

Here's the old gal at the end of the McKenzie pass road before hooking left to go up the Hakataramea to Kurow

Day 2 Was Palmerston to Gore using such bits of the road like the old Dunstan Gold Trail road

You know the road is going to be interesting when you get welcomed by signs like this:

Anyway we got through it to views like this:

Day 3 Was Gore through to Alexandra using the Lake Onslow Road, photos to come...

Looks like you got to see some places most of us don't!

That colour would show the dust a bit, I guess. So what was the Old Dunstan Road really like? Suitable for cars or not?

My old driveway was worse than that!

Gorgeous 3.0

Was it a bimmersport member selling the 3.0 coupe a while back?
