The sixth annual Dave Carr Memorial Truck Run was held on Saturday 6 November, starting from the Highway Inn truck stop in Christchurch. Event organisers, Cam Lill and Dave (Skoda) Ching, were rapt to have 80 trucks (including one restored Mount Cook Denning coach) along for the trip.

Those who made the trek at Easter to the biennial Wheels at Wanaka show experienced entertainment on a level not seen previously in New Zealand.
