Last time I was in the land of the long grey inflation, about 12 months ago, I could buy James Boags for less that in Aussie. OH yeah thats right, NZ doesn't have a WET..... (Wine Equalization TAX).

When you get the chance, go up North past the Bay of Islands, and do some fishing in Kaitaia.... Really nice Motel and pub there, nice people and really good drive to get up there..... have fun.

I bought my WRX over from N.Z but used drive on drive off, NO container, middle of summer and good seas...Cost was $1200 N.Z 4 years ago...It would have cost $2,500 N.Z if I used container..Oh and $5000 N.Z by air... It was via Tauranga so its close to waihi...
Make sure you CLEAN the car NO mud etc under guards and vacuum inside like its brand new inside and out...N.Z,M.A.F don't like Aussie spiders etc....
We have a charter boat up Paihia called Waima Star....
I came from Morrinsville about 50 klmrs west of Waihi, the other side of Mt Te Aroha.....26 years ago....

Did you travel with it. That sound bloody great. You ask these shiopping firms and they tell you nothing, just take your money. I will investigate that some more. Thankyou
