Haha.Some other kiwi's on here.I'm from Kaiapoi(Nth Canterbury) I've got a yellow RS00 Altezza.

I have an 06 Scion tC ... its basically a Celica. Its built on the Avensis chassis and is powered by a supercharged 2AZ-FE.

I studied graphic design at the University of Canterbury for a semester. Then moved to Beaumont to work on a farm and explore NZ for a year. Lived out of a shed behind the Beaumont Hotel caravan park and hitch hiked in to Dunedin for food and such. Eventually ended up buying a Mitsu micro van and wandered around the southern island with friends.
Like I said, BEAUTIFUL country!

The south island is a beauiful part of nz allright!!! Any plans on coming back.

***BLUEMEANIE*** · 09-25-2008, 03:42 PM

Hell yeah. I'd even consider moving there. The value of the USD is the only thing holding me back atm. I'd like to get over there for two weeks + and show my wife around. We have a friend that now lives in Melbourne so we have an excuse to head that direction. Just gotta wait for our crap economy to turn around.

yellow RS200 · 09-25-2008, 04:05 PM

Come on over,you're more than welcome.Your wife will fall in love with the place.
