That would be my job

I took some yesterday and I'll try and take a few more today and stick 'em on here.

I was having a natter to the security guard yesterday morning while I was waiting for Taff to come and open the yard, and ended up spending most of the day outside with her, directing people She even gave me one of her traffic cones to put outside the yard to stop people blocking our yard entrance!

Oh well, off to watch some more deafening V8's now - ah, nothing like the smell of V8 fumes to start the day off well

Sounds like it was a great success.

After the fun, the inevitable clean-up

Australia's V8 supercars are heading home, as Hamilton continues its come-down from the weekend of partying and motor-racing action.

Twenty-nine Holdens and Fords which competed in the Hamilton400 V8 series are scheduled to leave Auckland today on two jumbo jets bound for Melbourne and Brisbane.

Safety and medical cars will also be among the pricey cargo, which is worth A$10 million ($11.9 million) and weighs a hefty 200 tonnes.

The V8s, looking slightly worse for wear after their laps of Hamilton's 3.4km street circuit, were loaded on to trucks at the racetrack yesterday.
