Sorry to post here, but it seems a more likely place to find some kiwi members lurking. So if there are any ... yell out

Todd! · Mar 26th, 2005, 12:58 PM

There are a few Kiwis about... I cant think of their usernames, but if you do an advanced search for usernames, you will find a location bit - type in NZ or New Zealand and see waht comes up...

swamos · Mar 26th, 2005, 06:39 PM

There are a few that seem to come and go.... it would be great to have more around here

Babes · Mar 26th, 2005, 10:35 PM

well im an ex aucklander living in Perth, i have seen a speedynz username though not sure if he is north or south island.

Jason

Todd! · Mar 26th, 2005, 11:16 PM

Get in contact with speedynz... I have spoken to them about this before. Apparantly there are a few around over there... I know of one Aussie/Pom that had an early PW in NZ before moving to Australia and leaving it behind... all is well now he has a new one

mooby · Mar 30th, 2005, 04:28 AM

Sorry I couldnt find a closer section.. Just looking for other mini owners in NZ?

I was about to refer you here:

But I notice in addition to the thread above, youve posted in this one too!

mooby · Mar 30th, 2005, 06:31 AM

Babes,

Your car is awesome. I was considering lowering mine, how do you find yours going over speed bumps and regular daily driving?

Cheers

Mooby mate its perfect for daily driving, never have a hassle with any judder bars (do they still call em that?) Put the eibachs on and it will drive like a new car, well worth it

Babes · Mar 30th, 2005, 07:12 AM

Mooby just checked out your car..very nice! I do like EB, though naturally they dont go as fast as BRG

Was that pic taken out at Pukekohe?

Todd! · Mar 30th, 2005, 07:33 AM

With a number plate like KANUCK I assumed you would be more worried aboot people from Canada aye.

IML337 · Mar 30th, 2005, 07:38 AM

The best thing about NZ is that you're allowed to wear EU style plates on your car

(as long as the plate displays your valid reg numbers/letters)

Todd! · Mar 30th, 2005, 07:44 AM

That is the best thing!?!

I went there and found promiscuous girls, Canturbury Rugby tops, Rainbow Ind and a KFC'S (kinda like a KFC outlet but refered to as multiples

) I even saw the America's Cup - it was a few years back.

I had a ball...

One might even say "... a slice of heaven, DA DA DA"

IML337 · Mar 30th, 2005, 08:14 AM

ok... the best car related thing...

Todd! · Mar 30th, 2005, 08:15 AM

Not the fact that they can register just about anything there provided that it has 4 wheels and goes??

Heh thanks, Ya took the mini to puke on a mini track day. I'll have to have a hunt around for who i should get the eibachs from. What exactly did u get? Also I noticed you painted your wheel arches. Makes the car look awesome, altho i may be biased.

Actually a canadian moved to NZ, someone had CANUCK so there must be atleast one other canadian in the country.

colour coded arches are the business for sure. All i got was the eibach springs but it stiffens it up nicely and obviously lowers it. Have you seen smurfin's EB MCS? That would have to be the best EB in my opinion..ill attach a pic hope you dont mind smurfin!
