Hi
Glad you have got there safe, and that you like it, are you starting to collect toys again over there?
Cheers

Hey,XK,if you've come from Uk,I bet you got a bit of a shock when you arrived here:).What you thought were "classics" are really daily drivers.It's improving,but not much.The difference now is that the old cars are 2nd hand japanese clunkers,instead of English.
Is that the "Aidanfield"area of Christchurch I recognize? |

I chuckled at this bit and it would probably only be appreciated by the few but it was like my first date with my girlfriend now wife of 20 years when I took her to the dog track ........ well it was something I knew about and I could hide in the shadows and i could see her approach..... |

The roads up from Fox to Greytown are made for cars like the XK.
Hope you settle well.
We only had three weeks holiday but loved it.
The Ohau lodge near Twizzel was one of our favourite stops. |
