bradc and fellow NZers - I need your help!

[Kristian]

Hello Kiwi cousins,

I'm heading to Auckland next Thursday 28th until Tuesday Sept 2, to do some magazine article writing on a stack of cars. At this stage, all I've done is booked the tickets, so I need some advice on the best/cheapest:

1) Car rental
2) Hotel accommodation
3) Strip joints....I jest....lol

And if someone is handy with a camera and would like to tag along with me at some stage, or anyone of you NZ crew want to meet up with me while I'm there, then let me know.

Cheers
Kristian

Car Rental - 'usave' and 'arf' are cheap but I don't beleive they have stands at the airport. There will be the big companies at the air port.

What time are you landing? Naturally if it fits in I'd love to come and pick you up in the purple car

Ohh and for you there is like 3 empty bedrooms here. 45km out of the Auclkand CBD though!

Excellent smithers - I'm landing at 6:15pm, if that works for you.

It would be much appreciated if you don't mind me staying at yours - I'm very low maintenance, honestly lol. Better check with your better half first though!

Thanks Brad, what a champ!

 

[SiliconAngel]

Bradbrad has a better half?? Which half??

his mother, (really) she's very very nice,

im still aloud back there after the things ive done... LOL!

and brads got a couple of spare cars, im sure he'll lend you one

 

[bradc]

ok cool, I'll leave work a bit early on thursday and come to pick you up in the purple car.

Now as long as you like beers, top gear and racing car games, we'll get along just fine

I can't lend you a car though In fact, thinking about it, you may be best to hire a car at the airport then come around to my place simply because it will be difficult to hire a car at any other place at that time of night, and I don't know what your plans are like on Friday, mine will be working all day.

 

[Kristian]

No probs, thought that might be an easier way to work it too. I'm off to Croydon's first thing Friday morning.

Can I come visit!??!?

 

[bradc]

Croydon wholesalers on Lincoln Road? I drive past there probably twice a week going to a customers place. What exactly are you doing?

Anyways, you're still welcome to spend time at my place.

Paul - anytime. Do you know what a Logitech G25 is and have you heard of GTR2?

 

[Kristian]

Have you got GT4? I'll race my new car on it lol

 

[bradc]

nahh consoles are for losers GTR2 is much much more involved

I have a G25 and I have GTR2 I also have a stack of other games I could bring lol...you could use my Test Drive Unlimited account around 300 cars and about 50m in the bank

Oh oh and I have all the top gears (every season) on dvd too!

You just need the beer lol

 

[bradc]

Trade?

Nah, just pm me your details and I'll endeavour to make a copy and post it off within the next week.

I do it all as data files though, just so you know. If you want it as a dvd movie then you'd have to convert and re-burn it yourself. Is that cool?

 

[Guest]

i is happy with that

 

[Hotwire]

And I is happy to copy them off you Steve - along with CAPS which has happened hasn't it

 

[Hipsi]

Who's keen to send one up to the sunshine state?

 

[Guest]
