As detailed in the thread below, a couple of months after my last post we got notice from our long term landlord that were finally going to come back and renovate their small bach we had been living in for the last 13 years! 

We knew we would never get such a sweet gig in Auckland ever again, so Plan D (that had been bubbling for a few years in anticipation of this) was implemented and I got a good job on fairly short notice to commence in 2 months  in Dunedin. Yay, but OMG so much to organise and sort.

Cars went onto storage not far from Muriwai in August 2019 and we moved down to Ocean View to a short fixed term rental, (no driveway!) and managed to have an offer accepted house on Christmas Eve Eve (driveway/shed prerequisite) , but not moving in till Early Feb 2020.

Plan was to road trip them down with some buddies in March 2020 while they were all WoFfed, but then Covid and yadda yadda.

eventually got them all moved down via transporter company in late August 2020.

Few up in August to get these all going ready to dive onto the truck.

The property owner had tried to move them for a wedding in the barn (that was cancelled due to the Covid :( ) but left the batteries hooked up and they were all dead dead dead.

There is a parasitic drain on this that flattens the battery within a couple of days at the best of times anyway, as well as four flat tyres.

New battery and blowing up my trusty $12 warehouse air compressor trying to inflate 4 tyres from dead flat without a jack (replaced with pretty much the same one but now $25, thats how old it is/was)  and this bad boy fired straight up :)
