This Friday/Saturday (25th/26th Sept) I am driving from Auckland down to Wellington, and thence back up to Auckland.

If anyone needs anything transported, including whole motorbikes, we are more than happy to do so in return for a donation towards petrol. :)

Can contact me either via KB or on 021 173 7496.

Cheers,


David

It might pay to mention that we'll be retrieving a bike from the ferry terminal, so if you need to get a bike from picton to auckland (or vice-versa) now is a great opportunity to help all of us do this on the cheap.


and don't worry; I'll be navigating so we'll get there eventually :D

More to worry about is that I'll be driving again. :eek5:

Oh, and there's still a "seat" left for anyone with a sense of adventure and enough cash for a tank of diesel

by seat you mean middle of the front bench seat, snuggled up between you and Jafa, right?

Did you guys put a bike (less its rider) on the ferry? I wondered if one could do that.

we did, but that may have since changed to any one of the three seats in the back of the accord

now there is a balance between the cost of petrol and the number of people in the car...I probably still can't go :*(

I'll make a donation if it means that PJ stays in Wellington. Auckland's mean IQ would jump several points.

Have fun on your road trip.

MBB, I'm touched. It's like I've got my own pet that follows me round the forum. Pity you're more like a depressed spaniel seeking attention rather than something awesome like a shark, but I guess that's the luck of the draw.

yeah, was just going to ask Rach if she's got any floor space where she is - the back of the accord is looking mighty crowded right now!

Didn't Slyer sleep in the boot or something during an SMC roadtrip?

I'll add $50 if you take Rajistani and drop him off...... a bridge.

+20 from me XD

you guys want trailer aye?

motorbyclist

actually, The Beast should fit in the back of the accord - perhaps Jafa has already measured this?

Otherwise, my trailer is a bit smaller and light, and thus cheaper to run (making bold assumption here as to it's current whereabouts)
