Thedead 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 Bumpstop could you even get your car up the ramp for the ferry. I could be interested if I can get the car warrented. I use to live on the west (Wet) coast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 J, if you can't get your car warranted then you can pawn rides from anyone going. I'm guessing i'll be organising this trip if ppl want to go, i'll be definately doing this even if it's alone b/c I haven't seen all of NZ yet simply b/c I haven't done the west coast yet. My mission will be backpacking in Nelson, on the west coast, and perhaps Queenstown. Have friends in Dunners and a brother in Chch so those cities are sweet.

Grant 4 Report post Posted July 10, 2004 If I wasn't taking 2 weeks + leave to go to the States, I would have been keen. The roads in the South Island are second to none. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers HMMMMMM central otago roads are great, apart from how my dad and i were skiing down there a while ago and got a speeding ticket in our rental corolla on a road that is so deserted it just wasnt funny!! Well it was funny when the ticket was being written out- an old man drove past and started abusing the cop, then sped off!! LOL!!

Carl 3 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 Bumpity bump If i'm not working in a new contract then the tentative date for the SI trip will be September 12th - 19th Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted August 1, 2004 Bumpity bump. Alright, dates are confirmed, all you have to do is get yourself and your bimmer to Nelson by monday the 13th. Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th: Get to Nelson, crashing at Jamahls parents place, causing general mayhem to residents and pedestrians. Monday 13th: Drive from Nelson to Westport, crashing at backpackers and doing it cheap Tuesday 14th: Drive from Westport down the coast to Franz Josef, get on the piss with some locals and cause general havoc, accomo provided by friendly native girls Wednesdsay 15th: Drive from FJ through to Queenstown then on to Dunedin, very good very long drive this one. Will hit up Ali and others for accomo, i'll be chasing up on some uni girls and generally disturbing the peace. Thursday 16th: Onward to Christchurch, accomo provided by my brother and other bimmersport members from Chch. Friday the 17th: I'm thinking maybe a drive to Hamner hot springs and relaxing after our torturous journey. Depending on ferry crossings will determine the rest of your weekend, i'll probbly stick around in chch friday night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
