STUNO Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 A quick report on his activitiescav has reached these shores and is comfortably housed and settling in with his wife. He is still without internet so very quiet at the moment.The 30 year old Nissan diesel powered GM product that he purchased over the net before arriving here has proved to be a good buy and has covered quite a lot of Km's now. I will never forget him running his hand round the rear wheel arch and getting quite excited that it was like new! And no , he will tell you all what it is when back on line.They are living quite close to me and occasionally come here to raid the supermarkets etc as this town has more variety and is bigger. I have not yet asked him what it is like coming from Leeds to a small NZ town that thinks 10 cars in the same street is a traffic nightmare! And the old tat he sees will get him a bit overexcited too.

Guest Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Do me a favour Stuno! Tell him his old TV is in daily use, works perfectly and will be getting a degauss soon to make the picture even more perfect. Much thanks required to him and the missus for sending it my way. It could also soon be accompanied by a similar vintage Mitsubishi VHS "buddy".
scaryoldcortina Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 ^ repeat above post, substitute "SIERRA" for telly, and "winter tyres" for video...
MrDuke Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Why are you degaussing your Sierra then? (sorry)
boobydoo Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 This sounds like a 'must see' in New Zealand. http://www.nothingtoseehere.net/2010/03 ... ahu_1.html Maybe take a nice scotch egg salad and thermos and make a day of it?
STUNO Posted November 23, 2010 Author Posted November 23, 2010 ^^^^^^scary's Cortina has 13" tv in rearI found the toothbrush fence place on a map, after wondering why I had never heard of it. Now I know why and why after living in the region for most of 65 years I had never been there. THERE is NOTHING AT ALL THERE except a weird fence.And to think I cleaned out my toothbrush rack in the bathroom last week and binned the rubbish ones.
HillmanImp Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 ^ repeat above post, substitute "SIERRA" for telly, and "winter tyres" for video... ^ repeat above post, substitute "Microwave" for Sierra, and "slice of bread" for winter tyres... Autoshiters are a bit like Wombles, making good use of the things that we find,things that the everyday folks leave behind.
M'coli Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Repeat the above, but with "Hillman Imp, now with new head gasket" and "steel wheels/winter tyres"!!!
Jon Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks for all these kind words chaps - I've not noticed this thread earlier, as I've been working from page 7 back to the current page. I've been putting the hours in big-time these last few days and I've still got a page and a half left! Who's this Eccentric Richard fella then?
messerschmitt owner Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Who's this Eccentric Richard fella then? he's gone ... but not forgotten
