Steptoe revisits the MAUNGATANIWHA

[@chrisbond6708]

Not just a slice of recent NZ industrial history but a compliment to the guys who restore, care for, & love trucks, jinkers, & baby dozers. THANKS!!

The sound of those Jimmy's music to the ears, great doco guys. Remember the orange and green Pan Pac on the Napier-Taupo Hiway late 70s and the Mt Cook Landline buses with the Detroits as well, great era 👍 👌

How those men worked,where they worked and what they had to work with is an inspiration to those of us who know how to appreciate them . The tales are probably dar greater than told here . The New Guys piloting the massive new gear ,do you think they have the same DNA ? Forestry certainly carved a memory in NZ history and it may not have the recognition that it so deserves as a crucial part of the Kiwi way . Certainly pleasing to hear of the efforts to save Kiwi and the many Birds . Thank you for the efforts of all in making this doco

Great Video for the archives, and so good to hear the names of trucks, places and men again, in particular the late Peter MacDonald, a true Kiwi and a gentleman. I am pretty sure his funeral is still the biggest Whangarei has had. Dalhoff and King only had their ads for Kenworth on TV during the Movin On series back in the late--mid 70's, and as a small boy on those long trips [back in the early 60's] from Russell to Hawkes Bay to visit grandparents, the highlights were always waving to the logging truck driver, not least the creaky old Mohaka bridge, and the car overheating on those dusty Taupo Hills... happy care-free days. PS: Peter Mac told me when I was buying a Tug with a 6/71, - "most efficient way of turning diesel into noise!" haha, great motors..
