Must cost you a lot in petrol Q300! More $ spent on petrol is less available for flying, hence the scooter :)

Wow- that new Falcon is pretty unimpressive. Looks like it was beaten to death with the ugly stick.

I still like yours though Deane :D

Lol. He mustve been going down a steep hill, with a tail wind, with the clutch in.... :lol:

If anyone knows the motorway heading south from auckland, you will know theres a very slight slope on it. Well, our poor old chariot struggles to get up that without changing down to 4th. You cant imagine how emotionally degrading it is, seeing huge trucks with double trailers overtaking our struggling chariot, in the slow lane.... some day I will get my own, normal car :bow:

kn nz i had a 1995 toyota cynos, in Oz here we have a plain but highly practical 1993 mitsubishi lancer wagon, goes harder than the mitsubishis form new zealand. those mazda 3s and 6's are very nice cars, got to thrash one back from auckland one day

LOL! you think that slope on the southern motorway is bad in a Chariot?!? try it in an 1100cc Skoda with 4 well fed lads in it and the boot (up the front) occupied with a half inflated paddling pool filled with ice and 8 dozen Tui's... 52hp and i swear you could almost feel each power stroke :blink:
