p1_m3 8 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 Happened to be cruising along Centreway in Orewa, near where I live and spotted a house with about 7 or 8 BMWs in the driveway. Think there were E30s and maybe a 5 and 7 series. Anyone here? Or mates of mates? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) She obviously was holding the map upside down - damn southerners think they're so important they hold the map with the south island at the top. Ray used to work out of home (hobby turned business) when he was up by the Caltex, then he moved house to down by KFC and moved the business to Bavarian on the shore.

I was not aware that he moved from that road up by Caltex. In you saying he moved down by KFC it must be his house you saw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
