A big thanks to Ron who drew up this fantastic "Tyretoon" for Megatyre. While I have never met him, Ron, the barmaid and myself had a long conversation at a wake held at the Christchurch airport bar last year. Work that out if you can! Given Ron has never been to Megatyre or Browns Bay either, I reckon he has managed a pretty fair representation of both Megatyre and myself! Just in case you … [Read more...]
