Well what a great trip me and my dad just had, we pick up the bus
in Ashburton (south island of NZ) and drove to Auckland in three amazing days. The country side of NZ is just so cool, great people along the way, real car people taking pics at service stations to put on the wall with all the other cool cars that have stopped for fuel in the past, offering friends details in towns we may visit to have a coffee with and guide us to good places to stay. Went to a local show in Auckland, really layed back and some great cars to see, wow what about the og paint RHD westy that was very very nice. anyway people get over there and do that trip you will never forget it, thats for sure. Big thanks to Colin and simon for there help.
My dad bought this Porsche new in GB and drove it around Lapland, Germany, finland before moving to NZ. Picked me up from the hospital in it, so was the first car i ever got in. Tracked it down to Taranaki NZ were the big mountain is, was good for the soul!!

Small word though, I did a wedding in Caloundra recently and the brides rello's just bought your old house and had moved from NSW.
Anyway, good on ya for taking one back to NZ.

No has only 108000miles OG paint, well most of it and serviced by the same mechanic for the last 25years. best splitty i have ever driven with std running gear
So the bus has been in Ashvagas for the last twenty five years/ Do you know the name of the mechanic who serviced it?
Frogsta, moved back to home town for family reasons,plus it was lacking in splittys, now it has two,my brother has a single cab ute. Certainly attracts some attention. Really miss Caloundra such a great spot for cruising, and the weather.
