Anyway, we cruised out after tea and basically drove his local beat with his dogs on the back talki... View full article

South Island Boar (Aug 2007) Canterbury
This story also dates back more than a year. I popped out with a mate named Andrew (after chamois initially) during a crisp August day and the weather was mint!
