silverfoxnik Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi Steve Glad to hear you made over to NZ safely and that things are looking more positive for you! That photograph is stunning - what a view! That natural beauty on it's own is enough to make the spirits lift I would have thought.. Anyway, good luck with it all.... No doubt we'll be hearing more from you soon! Nik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi Nik, thanks I might post the occasional photo here if people are curious about what life on this side of the planet is like. We had a sudden hailstorm here about an hour ago and now its blazing sunshine. Talk about four seasons in one day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not want it so much after learning it was the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quail_Island,_New_Zealand"]site of a former leper colony[/url] and quarantine station though. I've also just had a job offer in the last hour. I'm still negotiating the terms and salary but its been a dramatic day with learning of Nick's passing, to say the least.

Kiwi Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 I've spent some of this week test driving cars. Looking at buying an Audi S3 because its one of the few 4WD hatches that I can afford which puts out more than 200bhp. There's a bit of turbo lag but once it hits its stride, it doesn't let go of the road without a fight. Should make dealing with the mountains down in Dunedin quite fun.
