The MAGIC of the "Log of Wood"
While millions around the world have their eyes glued to the TV watching the drama of the America's Cup unfold, back here in Aotearoa we also have our own drama unfolding. Over the past few weeks the battle for the Ranfurly shield has been very exciting with a change almost of holder every week. Otago won back the shield after a 57 year gap. From Waikato to Otago to Hawkes Bay and now to Counties. Yesterday, Counties-Manakau successfully defended a challenge from previous holders, Waikato. Well done to a team not in the top tier of the Provincial Championship. I guess there is still some Magic left in that old piece of wood yet.

A Few Dream Cars to look at!
If you ever dream about wining Lotto and buying your dream car then this video might be of interest to you. This week Lotto is up to $25million so you never know.
According to Matt the Lamborghini Aventador is right at the top of the list of Dream Cars.
Actually after watching this video I decided it was a bit boring but I will leave it up for now.
Some people may not agree with me. Pehaps someone in my classes can send me a link to a better video of this car.

According to Matt the Lamborghini Aventador is right at the top of the list of Dream Cars.
This particular car will beat most of the other cars on the market because of its aerodynamic body kit and its supercar V12 engine. The Aventador can go from 0 km/h -100 Km/h in 2.9secs and has a top speed of 217 mph. In episode 17 of Top Gear the Lamborghini Aventador went on the test track with the stig and zoomed around the track at a time of 1:16.5 it was the fifth fastest car on the list. To get this car you will have to pay $675,000 NZ but the waiting list for this car is stretched to 18-months

I love that this downhill race is here in Lyttleton, Christchurch. I think the shipping containers are a nice touch.
Both Videos recommended by Alex G. Enjoy!
