nobangmycar Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hey Fella, Good to see more Kiwi's here. I'm in Edendale, Southland. Although currently if I took a photo it would be hailing sideways, good thing the Subaru is tucked up in the shed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
