Yesterday after work we caught the 1pm Overlander train to Auckland, the train is incredibly scenic with a glass wall at the back of the train giving you incredible views. We arrived at the Britomart station 6 hours later at 7pm and met with a guy called Clement le Clem (yes really).
We travelled all this way to buy the best car ever! Its a Subaru Legacy, 2.2l engine, 4 wheel drive - we would never be able to afford this in England! However, its a very standard car here and here you insure the car not the driver so its pretty cheap! The car cost $2000 and came with a free snowboard, bindings, tent, airbed, gas stove and a bunch of CDs. All in all it was a bit of a bargain!
Unfortunately it was a 4 1/2hour drive back to Ohakune on the unlit windy New Zealand roads, so overall it was a 10 1/2 hour round trip, but for a brilliant car!
Wow! Car looks ace! Only you could buy a car that had afree tent with it!
ReplyDeleteWho writes your scripts? This is getting ridiculous, first you get a job that gives you free accomadation and ski passes, then you win a snowboard and now you buy a car for a bargain price and it's contents are worth more than the car. Unbelievable but great.
