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!

Hey cheers  used to come from down there (Happy Valley Tuatapere)  but escaped from the cold 30 years ago,   goodness me do you have / is that a 1st gen. Leone (as in pic) ?  was impressed with my sisters 74 DL 1400 Leone and my bosses 81  1st gen. 1800 Brumby(Brat) both 30 years ago so thats what got me started

Yeah, nobang has a 1st gen sedan. Currently Subaruless myself, due to a lack of funds as a student, but I'll get there. Welcome to the board.
