Scraping the Barrel

I'm getting close to running out of old truck photos to show on my blog. I still have plenty of car and motorcycle pictures, but I see that my truck photo posts definitely attract more hits. If anyone has any worthwhile truck pics please e-mail them and I will post them, creditting the snapper.

For some years there was a Hino truck and bus assembly plant in Kent Street, Carterton. It also assembled badge
engineered Fords: the middle one in this picture. 

Fearon Logging's Transtar II with self loading trailer passing the "Horseshoe" at the north end of Masterton. The Horseshoe was a favourite watering hole, so named because of its horseshoe shaped bar. Upstairs was a restaurant and lounge bar. These days most of the first floor is occupied by offices and the ground floor is a cafe/restaurant.
