buying a shed in kiwi land
so we're buying a 'cheap' car to travel around New Zealand for the next couple of months
The rules for purchase (male):
Has it got 4 wheel's ?
Does it start/go/stop ?
Does the engine bay look like a dog's breakfast ?
How badly do the brakes squeak ?
Has it got a stez? If yes, does it go loud enough to cover the noises from all the above ?
The rules for purchase (female):
What did full independent mechanical report say ?
What do we have to get fixed, and when ?
How much road tax has it got left ?
How long is left on the warrant of fitness ?
Its not bloody white is it ?
How Much?
The Result for 700 of your UK pounds !!!
Standing Order's For the Driving in New Zealand.
Driving will be split 50:50
50% of the time J will drive,
50% of the time S will decide if she wishes to drive. If 'No' she will nominate a n other.
No day of travel will be over 4 hours (unless the other 50% rule applies !)
The 'Tractor Game' (leg 2 - NZ) will be played @ all times of driving. However a small amendment to scoring rule is being enforced to dissuade 'jon' from utilising the Google Brotherhood information source and driving past the John Deeree factory (as happened in Melbourne).
@ know time is the std Kiwi male driving style to be adopted . ie steering with your knees, right hand out window, and chugging a bottle of beer with your left !
@ all time be on the lookout for lunatic Kiwi drivers (you can't miss them, their the ones in cars !!) since the standard of driving, is a little agricultural !!!
finally, don't sweat the sweet stuff (this is a drug reference from Northlands apparently !)
ta for now....
ps got an ect sarnie the other day 4/10 on the 1 to Brunels buttery scale - disappointing !
