AGK512 Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Great photo ! Where abouts in NZ are you ? I have to say it is one of the few places I would move to if I was going to leave the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hixster Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hey SA! Down on the southern Island , not far from Queenstown. It really is an amazing place, superb people and really amazing scenery, clean air, good quality of life etc.. definately a great alternative to the UK.. So you can see i got my car now, how long til yours arrives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me in that R32 , mines back in the U.K. awaiting pickup. Would love to give my car a workout round some of the roads round here,.. they are perfect!

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks SA , really looking forward to the first day back as you can imagine. What will be the differrences with the MY07 spec?? Will be going to Milford sound at some stage, funny thing that name, just exchanged on my house in the u.k. in a place called Milford the day I left to come here, weird coincidence Oh yeah one last thing. Has anyone found out why we're not getting the aluminium ashtray covers on the new R's. I want one even though I don't smoke anymore. (gave up 6 days ago now!!). Think it's sh*t that you don't get an ashtray cover on a 28k car. Is there just a hole? .. Anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
