Czech it out Something my good friend Stu and I made with a few hours’ filming one Friday.

Connecting the region After some digging, the Transmission Gully motorway map. Completion is expected in 2020.
More Instagram art Artefacts left over from multi-image Instagram posts: Royal Hotel, Featherston; sunset at Oriental Bay, Wellington; and the Holden (née Chevrolet) Equinox. The posts are on my account.
More Instagram art The ANZAC Day edition. (For those who haven’t followed these on my Tumblr, these are images left behind by Instagram when you do multiple-image or multiple-video posts.)
The other Hyde Park More Instagram art, created as the program tries to store a multi-image post on my SD card. Both are based on shots taken at Te Horo, north of Wellington.

Lucire 38 My contribution here was the typography—I’m very happy for the crew, including our own fashion editor Sopheak—for scoring the latest cover.
Fake news again from Fairfax
From the Fairfax Press: ‘NZ Bus announced in April last year it had signed a $43 million deal to fit a “significant number” of its 1100 buses in Auckland and Wellington—including the capital’s 60 trolleys—with Wrightspeed motors, which operate mostly on rechargeable electric batteries.’ Now we know what that number is for Wellington’s electric fleet: 10. Well done again, Fairfax.
IP Got to love the last wifi connection’s name.

WOW ’16 New Zealand designer Gillian Saunders has scooped the Brancott Estate Supreme Award at tonight’s World of Wearable Art (WOW) Awards’ Show, with her design, Supernova. Lucire was the first publication to break the news (as usual)—read more here.
First means little to Google Once again, Lucire was first with the news from World of Wearable Art. Again, as with the past few years, Google News isn’t sending many readers our way. So much for the independent publication that works that much harder—establishment firms like Google only want to suck up to other big businesses nowadays.
Automatic assumption I hope this is just a bug on the Gazley website, but if not, it means there are no manual cars for sale at all at one of the leading dealerships in the city.
Travel journal What a fun project! In September, a class in a school in Québec set its pupils a travel diary project. The idea: see how well travelled this diary gets by passing it to your friend, then to their friend, and so on. The aim is educational: they want to learn about different cultures. The person who gets it nearest April 15 has to send it back to the origin. That was me: the diary arrived in my office on Friday. I’ve since written a four-page letter to the schoolgirl about my life in Wellington, my hobbies, and my family, in reply to her opening piece. It has been over 25 years since I wrote in an exercise book. Prior to me, it went to the Netherlands, France, and Hong Kong. I hope she has the most well travelled journal in her class.
Renault Mégane My car at Tarakena Bay, Wellington. Nearly cloudless this autumn day.
Renault Mégane (with the acute) Nice that one of my images is among the top for the hashtag on Instagram.
Hidden The official page for Scots College no longer comes up in a search on Facebook, yet the page clearly exists. I’d love to know why these American websites have deleted my Alma Mater from most search results (which happened a couple of days ago as I was tagging away). The top one that comes up in Facebook is not for the page. You have to go to the search results for Places before it appears in the Facebook results. And, as noted yesterday on this blog, it’s nowhere to be seen in Instagram any more.
Scots centennial picnic Some lovely classic motors at my Alma Mater’s centennial picnic yesterday: two Plymouths, a Chrysler, three Ford coupés, a Buick, a Holden, a Goat, and a Mini. There was also a Ford truck.
