Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 These spottages were witnessed in the Taranaki region during a brief visit last month. It is on the West Coast of North Island. These two were quite close to each other but suspect not owned by the same person! Amishtat, TooManyPeopleMovers and MorrisItalSLX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 These were in a small village called Manaia (bread capital of NZ apparently). Used to be the home of an iconic Citroen dealership. Now appears to have the highest number of Ford Falcons per capita in the Southern Hemisphere. I have taken none of the above however. This Finny seem to be in the premises of a Honda specialist! Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Now these ones are cheating slightly as they are of my recently acquired 2.0 Zetec Manual (hard to find in Nyoo Zillind).

Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Although I generally do not take photos where there is a wheel trim missing as it plays havoc with my OCD 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 It would be fair to say I didn't not expect to see this Packard parked on the main street of a small township! Joey spud, eddyramrod, Amishtat and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Excellent shots! I'd be intrigued to find out how your new Focus drives compared to the Jondeo, since they share the same engine (I think). Lovely as it looks (especially on those wheels), I'll admit to docking off some points for not having taken your Capri on the roadie but, even if I see the attraction of a turn key motor. Looks like I need to explore rural Taranaki a bit further, judging by your spots - I've seen little of the region, beyond several trips to New Plymouth.

Essex V6 Posted February 19, 2021 Author Share Posted February 19, 2021 Aye - I am a little biased as I can't say enough great things about the area. Next time we catch up I will let you have a wee drive so you can compare the two. Mine is barely run in at 228,000 compared to the Jondeo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
