Hey DC!
Well the past week I've been across the South Pacific ocean to New Zealand! I had never been there before until now and seriously it is just one of those places you could live. We flew into Christchurch and stayed one night and following the next morning catching the first flight to lovely Queenstown which is just South West from Christchurch mainly more inland getting off the coast. We where staying here for just under a week.
I just wanted to share some photos with you guys but if it isn't in the right place or shouldn't be here etc feel free to delete it and I'll move it elsewhere. I just want to show you guys what else I can achieve rather than motorsports / cars. So here are some of my favorites followed by the full album.
This Is New Zealand!

Nothing is better than getting a bit of powder the night before and under 0 degrees in the daytime with the sun shining and groomed runs that just want to be smashed
