@voodoo you could combine it with a trip to EB to get some black pudding at the butcher and a feed of f&c's.

Yeah that sounds worth it bro

2009 Land Rover Freelander 2 | Trade Me Motors

OFFERS welcome Done 72k kms Low kms , Brand new WOF until 2021 ORC included 1st owner in NZ The Freelander is a fantastic compact 4 x 4 SUV with the LandRo...

Not as popular though so could take a little longer to offload.

That looks awesome. Not sure if it's worth going to the bloody Hutt for though!

We should close the Hutt off to foreigners anyway. Only 20 covid cases and all cleared. Would be easy to do. Only 4 roads and a ferry.

I went to the Plaza in PN this avo. To be fair, they probably should have closed it off also, and maybe set fire to it.

Happy to start with Plaza and go from there. The Esplanade still has value.

Btw, in all seriousness , there is a restaurant here called Beijing Hotpot, and it is fucking outstanding. They do a shallow fried sliced chicken in spicy bean paste and a beef in mung bean spicy soup that are both outrageously good. In 2 weeks, we have ordered the same 2 dishes 3 times.

IEMALL

It's a fair assertion, but the missus absolutely tops me on demand for spicy Asian food. Where I'm happy to mix it up with home cooked lamb shoulders and pork bellies, she would eat 100% Asian takeaway food everyday of the week!

Also, fuck I'm hungry right now

I think my cousin still owns that business; he's a good fluffybunny although I don't know that he'd be a pushover for getting a lower price out of.

Cool, thanks
Looks like they also have a couple of Landcruisers on their website

Our Vehicles | Rose City Cars | New Zealand NZ

If I head in there shall I lead with "Hey, so I sorta know your cousin from the internet..."

[gt12]

Most likely he’d say if you know that little shit, I’m upping the price!

Thoughts on this @Crucial or anyone else in the know?

I reckon I could get it for $12k

I prefer the Outback variant for the extra clearance and height but this is otherwise the same vehicle. Looks pretty good mileage and age. Is a comfortable car(more car like than upright sitting big 4WD). Will get better km to the litre (remember how expensive petrol gets down south).
Most importantly will get you up and down the ski roads fine.

Edit: should say that I'm no expert but just had an outback for a few years as our ski vehicle and it did the job well

@Crucial cool thanks, that was my amateur view also. Reckon the missus will feel more comfortable driving it also.

They are quite nice to drive. Slight different feel in the way the power transfers across the wheels but it gives a feeling of sticking to the road nicely.

Just realised that it has roof bars already. It may be worth looking for a secondhand roofbox to throw on top. Really handy for extra room especially to throw the skis etc in.

@Crucial great thinking
