White Knuckled Sophie

If it goes fast, Sophie's all for it. If it's scary - bring it on. Thus we found ourselves at Tahunanui Beach in Nelson on the go-kart track. The two of us were cutting it up as fast as we could, having a blast zipping around the track, trying to overturn our karts. And a week later, in Cardrona just south of Wanaka we hit the ATV's and rode them through the bush. Fording streams, climbing hills, and blasting across the dirt tracks with these powerful machines between our legs was a howl. My daughter, the petrol head.
