So I picked up a sick whip rolling on fif-teens! HOLLA!!! I bought a Subaru (pronounced Su - BAR - u) Leone which are excellent old cars because they have a boxer engine in them that WONT DIE. People put over 350k on some of these bad boys. And the engine is so efficient you could probably leave a mud in the carburetor and it would turn it into efficient energy. The picture is of me flashing my gang sign.....which my gang happens to have a lot of people with carpel tunnel syndrome so our signature hand gesture just doesn't look that cool.
Driving on the left side is kinda fun and scary but since all of my speakers and stereo have been kindly ripped out of my car it helps to concentrate a little more. The only thing that is different is you can't turn left on a red and they give way to the RIGHT! It seems like a crazy and kinda dangerous rule.
Ok let me break it down for you. There is oncoming traffic waiting to turn right across your path(keep in mind we are driving on the left side of the road). If I come to that same intersection and am going straight then I just barrel on through, but if I am turning left to go the same direction that the other cars want to go I yield to them and wait for them to go. But it also depends if anyone is going straight that is behind you. Seems crazy to me so it makes driving interesting at times.
I start my job tomorrow, but if I can't find an Engineering job soon because no one wants to hire an American that might leave, I might have to start sending some job apps to the states and see what comes of that until I can get some "experience" under my belt.
In a few weeks time I should be able to have some better pics of the place since I can get around easier. Until then keep your scene tight.
Some guy making some money and wishing the All Blacks well, which is the Kiwi's Rugby team. this sand art is his 734 one that he has done.
The lights at the pier are tight. They can make them do almost any color so they are switching all the time and send one color down the line so it looks like some sort of beacon or a rail gun.

Look at you, a job and a car, what more could you ask for? So is this the stolen car-is that why it has no radio/speakers?
Thanks for keeping us updated. i am working on my home computer, and i will send you some of Chase' videos as soon as i can. I love your postings, i look forward to seeing how you are doing. You do a great job describing your adventures, and i can't wait to see what you do next.
Take care little Byrn.
No, this isn't the stolen car, or the car we destroyed in the middle of nowhere, this is a workhorse of a car and I never asked why it has no speakers in it???
I miss little Chaser, that would be good to see some video of him.
Blacks... seems like N.Z.ers are racist.
Sweet ride dude.
Dude, I know you were kidding but the racial climate here is pretty different to that of the states. I find it really interesting to see where this country is at in terms of racism compared to what I am used to. It seems they haven't dealt with it as much as it has been an issue in the states. Being a smaller country there is a lot of people that are from other countries here and it makes it pretty interesting at times. I myself closely work with an Aussie, German, and a Canadian. We are like....the Flambouyant Four! Yeah....
