  • Yes, this video is a little disjointed, but I really do milk a cow (with technology, not by hand), stand on a hill, meet a lizard and a cockatiel, then drive a 1986 Citroen BX up to Auckland as I prepare to say goodbye to it.
    At the end, George the cat encourages you to buy HubNut merchandise. White mugs (and beanie hats) are still in stock, and we still have a few calendars left too! hubnut.org for delicious merch and support options. Thank you.

    Another fantastic video. You are doing a great job for New Zealand - I really want to go now!
    I agree with the Airbnb comments. I use them all the time now, and have stayed in some fantastic places. From farms, to a modern hippy colony in Scotland. Great fun, and really interesting. All the people have been lovely.

    Glad you got to see the Kauri Museum, it's one of my favourite places.

    Nice Holstein Friesians, and yes the Kauri museum is also on my list, especially the protected live forest

    You’re missing all the ‘fun’ back home! Snow in north and mid Wales making roads 'hazardous' www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-50359085
    Wonder what the new car is? 🤔 Admit it, Ian, you bought the Will, didn’t you?! Will be together the rest of the NZ trip! 😂🤣😂

    Ian: Nice trip mate. That Citroen BX reminds me of an Audi Quattro. The BX was never available in North America. I've always wanted to go to New Zealand since childhood. I don't know why, its just been a childhood dream of mine. I suppose one day I will eventually make it there. Ian, don't you wonder how Mrs Hubnut is feeling about you being away for so long? I hope she's doing alright. Have a nice day

    You do realise that cow is the original X-drive,and doing rear nipple lubrication raises great risk of emission complications. Wonderful,wonderful scenery and after 13 days you well into your stride,,,loving the access you afford of the beauty of the North Island,thank you HubNut,,,😎
