    Welcome Oldboy.

    Blenheim here too, and new as well. Maybe we should all go for a beer at the Linkwater when this pubs are open again.

    Ha and welcome - I'd join you guys for a beer to except that despite being bought up near Canvastown and spending a lot of time hunting down the Sounds - I got relocated to deepest Southland about 1980 (and I'm still not a "local" here yet!)

    Ha...I got posted to Invergiggle in the early 70s, but escaped to Greymouth in 1990. Enjoyed my time in Southland...and do miss my favourite track - Teretonga!

    What did you used to have on it?
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Nice. My grandfather was a musterer there and my uncle was a culler there. I shot my first decent stag there. Has a lot of history when it comes to hunting.

    Nice! I've done a few trackday laps there in MX5's but never wanted to spend the money on competing properly. Had a standard Mk1 and a pretty rapid turbo Mk1. Sold that a few years back and got a Mk2 RS recently but just a road car for now.

    Welcome aboard.
