Mad_Max 231 Report post Posted November 15, 2019 Thought I'd offer a service to fellow members. I'm planning a road trip from Invercargill to Auckland and back in about 2 weeks. If there's any members on here that want to buy something from either end of the country, I'd be happy to take things up or bring them back down, meeting people in the main centres along the way for drop-off. The only conditions would be that all payments for the parts would have to be sorted ahead of time - I won't be handling money or paying for other people's parts upfront. And i'd want to be meeting people somewhere along the main route, really don't want to be detouring all over the place lol. Pick-up/drop off arrangements will be sorted ahead of time. Anyone interested? I'm not running a courier service so I'm not asking for money for this, just thought it might help a few people out. Also, @Jacko, I'll finally be able to pick the items up that I bought off you ??? 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C-130 Hercules 571 Report post Posted November 15, 2019 She'll be fine in the glove box... Yeah, nah maybe not... However, you could perhaps schedule your Auckland stay around the time of our next Sunday catch up at Kyu's - would be great to meet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to plan to be in Auckland on Sunday the 8th, there for a couple of days before heading back south? 5 hours ago, Olaf said: Geordie, when you're coming through wellington let us know.

Sorry man, will be the weekend after that and a flying trip through, rough plan at this stage is to leave here on the 7th, be in Auckland on the 8th, I'll be back in Wellington on the 10th I think for the night, before hitting Christchurch on the 11th for the night - at least that's the rough plan. I'll post the exact schedule up in the next week or so so everyone knows where I'll be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad_Max 231 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 Right, been meaning to update this lol, still have yet to book accommodation, however the itinerary so far is: Leaving Invercargill on Friday the 6th, staying in Timaru overnight. Saturday I will be passing through Christchurch, collecting some stuff from @OP6 that is destined to be delivered to @Herbmiester at some stage (flick me a pm and we'll sort a day/address etc. that I can drop them off to you). Ferry from Picton to Wellington on the 7th, then driving overnight to Auckland. I'll be staying in Auckland until the morning of the 11th, then heading back to Wellington (@Olaf this is probably the best time to catch up for a beer if you and some locals wanna do so?). Wellington overnight on the 11th, ferry back across the ditch on the 12th and straight to Christchurch. Staying in Christchurch on the 12th and 13th, then heading back to Invercargill on the 14th. So far, I think I should have a little more room in the car on the way back, as I'm planning on picking up a lot of things in Auckland to bring south.
