My brother Scott and I headed up the Cardrona Valley to see the Queenstown Gold Rush hill climb. Monster Tajima (Suzuki Vitara) ended up winning, followed by Rod Millen (Toyota Celica) and Possum Bourne (Subaru Impreze WRX).

There is a steep climb to the top of the hill

Possum Bourne heading back down the hill. This is the exact spot where he died five years later. RIP Possum.

This car was dropped from a helicopter. It shook the hell out of the ground when it landed! Apparently it was shot as part of a movie, I'm not sure what movie it was though. If you know what movie it was used in please let me know in the comments thanks :)
