SHGWAG Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 My boss lives there. He said that EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY. And if they dont know you they will either introduce themselves or "shunnnn the non believer..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 And if they dont know you they will either introduce themselves or "shunnnn the non believer..." Haha its so true Its a nice little town but has never seemed that appealing for some reason. The skatepark sux and if you enjoy any sport other than rugby your fucked. Why are you moving there?

HighLUX Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 From my experiences with matamata, if you enjoy drinking waikato,burnouts and dairy farmers daughters then matamata is for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 dairy farmers daughters The cattle in the paddocks are probably more attractive TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant76 Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm from Matamata, it is a nice town. Good car scene with everything from american muscle cars (matamata panelworks specialise in mustangs and have an open day every year) to rotaries and other old japanese cars. Locals are generally friendly, if slightly on the bogan side unless they own a horse stud. Relatively low crime rate, house prices aren't super cheap but ok, lots of money around town from horses and cows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonK Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 theres no certainty yet but matamata panelworks is giving me a 2 week trail and if I'm lucky I'll be the new panel apprentice, but nothing certain yet, I'll be startin the trail on the 8th so will be keen to meet people etc in that time. and its ok about the bogan thing I'm sure I'll fit in well haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant76 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 oh sweet, Malcolm (co-owner of panelworks) is a good bastard. Hope it works out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Also heard that rent in MATAMATA is fairly cheap, which is good if you're going to be an apprentice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
