Don't call them "wellys" either or they will think you bat for the other team!  Their called gum boots.

Its the south island I'm checking out. Any VMX stuff I should check out. By the way is there a McLaren museum down there somewhere? That would definitely be a highlight. J

McClaren museum is in Auckland. Remuera to be precise. It's shite.

Go to the warbird museum in Wanaka Jerry, you can even fly in a few (be weary of the P51Mustang though....they seen to be having trouble staying up), theres a monster truck place not far away from there aswell and you can rent quads ( and the monster truck) ...and ride them up the hill they race called "Race to the sky"?....where Possum Bourne got killed...theres a million things to do.....and if you do end up in a pub...tell em your Irish.....you'll be acepted into the fold like a brother (with a name like Jerry, you should be able to pull that one off)....Are you going to Christchurch for a milkshake?...have a great time bro.

See if you can scrape up a Vauxhall Dealer Team or a 'Hillmans Rule' t shirt which'll have you blending in with the local car heads.

im not sure why you need a rifle with a scope to shoot a possum out a tree ??  thats a bit lame, its a bit more sporting if you at least throw rocks at it or try a blow dart pigmy style......

Its about as sporting as hanging over the neighbour fence and shooting the dog while its eating its dinner by the back door.

[Davey Crocket]

There pretty vicious those Aussie possums Freaky....there known to jump out in front of cars at night trying to hold ewe up.....jeez I'm a funny guy sometimes.... ....that rifle looks like it would put a hole in a Sherman tank.....Did you get a pair of slippers out of it mArc?

[asasin]
