			Eat your hearts out Ewan and Charley- you guys cut some serious tracks and it was an absolute blast to see it on the big screen last night in Wellywood. Inspiring, epic and a true embodiment of the good all kiwi ‘can do attitude!!!!’ Nice one…………… enjoy your next adventure.... Never let the hummm of a 250cc/650cc engine leave your soul or the smell of burnt rubber be far away. Be cool Emily O’Leary
