PHOTO TONI WILLIAMSA group of mates in big rigs — many of them vintage beauties — took to the highway recently for a social classic truck run road trip. Bruce Anderson, one of the organisers, was travelling with his wife Kim, and said the group to date had been informal and got together for social events on an ad hoc basis. Mr Anderson said by the time they reached their Leeston destination, he expected about 20 trucks would have joined the informal convoy. The group planned a tour of a private Leeston collector’s yard of old trucks, tractors and cars before heading into Christchurch for an overnight stay at the Racecourse Hotel and hold a meeting looking to formalise their group.
