Dear All,
I wanted to take a few moments to post something here that is poignant. Having been a member on here for the past 4 and a bit years I'm proud to have been part of such a great online community - certainly one of the best forums I have engaged with and that's down to all of you. So, thank you to everyone for making it is what it is, providing useful information, sharing experiences, giving advice and of course, banter.
Some of you will be aware that I am off to New Zealand (permanently). I went out to NZ in the summer and decided that I wanted to be out there as soon as I could. So I've worked really hard in past few months securing work, medicals, visa, selling car, process of selling van and flat etc.... Time has flown by and on Saturday I leave for Auckland. Many have said that it is the opening of a new chapter in my life story book - I am thinking that it is actually a whole new book. I'm moving over to be with someone very special and have secured work out there in Hamilton on the North Island. As I'm living 2 mins off of the West Coast in Raglan (if we have any surfers here then you might now of Manu Bay / Indicators etc.... - best left hand break in the world and where they filmed Endless Summer) my affliction for fast things may well turn to jetski's/PWC's as well as cars.
Rest assured I will still drop in from time, albeit a little less frequently, to see what's going on and I still have a number of threads subscribed to
In the meantime, everyone take care, drive safe and above all - enjoy your car
Wishing you all a happy christmas and all the best for 2013
Dom
