I am very very proud to be a Kiwi, Burt Munro and John Britten are two of the more notable "characters" in our history and the 'make it yourself' has rubbed off on me.
Up till a couple of years ago we did not have access to the stuff you guys did in the US, the internet has made the world very small but even now the Kiwi way is to make it and save yaself a hundy
Our #8 wire and a block of wood philosophy has worked us into history books, proud of that .... but also happy with new technology as well.
Live your dreams gentlemen, life is not a dress rehearsal
