Default Pics from NZ

Ok, so I don't own a WRX, but I thought you guys might appreciate these pics. I am sorry if this is the wrong spot for them.

A few weeks ago I did a trip to NZ to visit a mate - this is his ProDrive STi with some great NZ scenery.

When I was in NZ I only had a hire car pulsar, some of the best roads I have ever driven too!

That shot of the rex in the snow is outstanding!

Thanks for the comments guys

I hadn't been "home" in 10 years but am now planning to return again early next year for a proper adventure and some decent photos

The first shot is within Ryton station, near Mt Olympus (~130km from Chch).
The second shot is on the way there, heading out of Christchurch.
Third shot is also on Ryton station.
Fourth is on the way back to Chch from Skippers Canyon.

Okay so i got it completely wrong in-terms of location But it really does look like the backside of the Tongariro complex - well sorta anyways.
