Here are some of the trucks I spotted during my ride to the British Car Museum.

Before I left, I filled up the bike at Faulknor's Service Station in Masterton. This Kenworth T408 was unloading petrol, faster than I was pumping it into my bike's tank. |

On the way north I stopped at the Matamau Country Cafe for a cuppa and a quick bite to eat. While sitting at the outdoor table I snapped these photos. I noticed the huge fuel tanks on this Kenworth, but the driver seemed unsure of their capacity. Standard tanks, I believe, are 350 litres. I'm guessing these must be 450 or 500. 2013 Kenworth K200. |

It's not the best location to snap trucks, so I apologise for the wires and poles in the background. 2009 Scania R580 heads north..... |

....followed by this load of logs, pulled by a 2008 Western Star 4964FX. |

Southward heading 2008 Isuzu EXY500 stops for the driver to refuel. |

On the way home I stopped at Matamau again for another tummy top-up and snapped some more as the shadows got longer. An RMD 2016 Caterpillar CT 15 630C pulls in for a break. |

Buckeridge from Dannevirke Kenworth T909 of 2015 vintage heads north from their base at Dannevirke, no doubt to drive into the night. |

Another 9 axle rig pulls out after a break. |

As the sun lowered in the sky, I had to stop to add an extra layer of clothing and snapped this 2015 Volvo FM500 unloading fuel at Pahiatua. |
