Where abouts does she stay man, one thing about nz is generally you know some one who knows someone - whole 2 degrees of seperation!

Yea i have the registration of my red one on hold so its just a matter of paying my fee and getting a warrant of fitness and shes off however the white one... still has its UK plates on it haha i will get it plated etc for nz once ive done it up
