Hi from New Zealand

Duotone · 21st February 2009, 06:39

At the moment we are sailing on the cruise ship Millenium around the south island of New Zealand and the sea is very rough, so for all those who think it serves me right for going on exoitic holidays, I guess you are right.

I have kept up a Rover75 spotting log, but they are really quite rare out here.

I saw two in Auckland an Arden Green and a Black one but didnt get the models as I was on a tour bus.

The only other one was a BRG ZT in Wellington, all three were in very clean condition as are nearly all the cars in New Zealand.

We are heading for Melbourne Australia, so its a journey of 1350 miles.

I'll let you know if I spot any more in Australia..

All the best

Dave T

Nice to see your flying the Flag Dave.

Hope all in all your having a nice break, you do know you forgot to leave me the keys for the V8 don't you

Obviously you threw some club calling cards out the window on the way past, didn't you?

Sounds like a nice trip - enjoy.
