>This film is a must see. It was released here in NZ a few months ago and
went to #1. It is not a strict by the book factual doco of Burts life, in
fact it does take liberties in this area. However it captures to perfection
the spirit of an archetypal Kiwi male. It is also very well shot, the
Bonneville scenes are visually stunning.
http://www.worldsfastestindian.com/ check it out and go see asap.
As an aside for those in the Northern Hemisphere, the annual Southern
Festival of Speed is running here in NZ. Just back today from the second
event, the Bruce Pidgeon Memorial Classic at Levels. 30 deg days (celcius!)
and great racing and of course great socialising!
Some photos will be getting posted on this web site soon, At the moment
there are two early season events covered, the Brooklands Trophy and the
Classic Motor Racing Club Ruapuna event.
