I wouldnt have a clue but diesel boy could prob answer that question and he would be the one to say if the trucks that want to go are upto it ie tow hooks, tires number of vehicles etc. Im guessing it would be about 2 hours to hamilton from taupo or under.

2.5 hrs from Hamilton, tow hooks and mud tyres a must, specially after all this rain!!!!

Other than that, anything goes.

It is possible that you could be home around 7, there is a hens night that two of the girls have to go to, so they don't want to be to late. Thats not sorted out properly yet, so it may still not happen. Besides, it gets dark at 5:30 these days so thats not much fun.

We are meeting/leaving the Caltex station at Hillcrest at 7am.

It cost about $3500 to do a LPG conversion, but you would need to talk to Ian at Ruscoe Autos, he is the local expert.
