lol - you will get the same response confusing kiwi's with aussi's as when
you confuse canadians with 'mericans.  the "world's fastest indian' (aka
burt munro) was a kiwi, who lived and raced in invercargill in the deep
south of nz (when he wasn't on a pilgrimage to bonneville).

aussi's claim credit for too many kiwi successes as it is, let's not make
things worse...
