coldturkey Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So long story short, I have a pretty solid opportunity to move to the garden city in roughly a couple of months. I know the roads are currently crap, the rental property situation is currently crap, and the city itself isnt in the best of shape. Financially, it doesnt make sense to move, but the isolation and weather of Invercargill will eventually wear me down. Being that I know pretty much nobody that lives there, I was after some feedback and opinions on how much some of you guys enjoy living in chch. I would be working out at the new Darfield dairy factory, but would most likely try to live somewhere on the western outskirts of the city.

KKtrips Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hornby is the place to be by all accounts.. Plus it's Datsun central soooooo.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Out west is fine as far as living goes. Largely unaffected by the quakes so that's not much of a big deal. Rental will be a stretch, but if you're just going to join an existing flat, it won't be as bad. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of the locals if you go to a meet (a lot of which live in seem to live out west). Still yet to do that myself, but one day it will happen/i'll have something OS to use.

Cullen Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 rolleston is the place to be, too many OSGC's in hornby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hornby would be roughly in the right location (Yaldhurst would be even better). And I do enjoy a good datsun. Hmm, would probably look to flat somewhere for a while (untill the missus sorted her shit out and moved up), but eventually would want to rent a place. Get way too accustomed to having a place to yourself to walk around naked in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZford Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Mate Darfield is were all the cool cats live haha On a serious note though if your working in Darfield mabe cheaper to rent in Darfield, Kirwee, Coalgate or Glentunnel or one of the other small towns we got dotted over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 eastside bro, don't wanna be landlocked.. warmer in the winter cooler in the summer, beach at your back door.. but then again if you work westside eastside wont suit you so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 CHCH is home to me. It aint that bad here. Anywhere is okay to live really. But I'd steer clear of state house riddled ghettos. Funny thing bout chch is it's never far from a nice part to a shithole. Plus we're the datsun capital. Bring your goon, and join us! And if you get sick of dairy, you can get a job as an [insert trade or chioce] pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The weather is pretty good here too. I don't know about Rolleston though. It looks shit to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'd live there. Less people around to step on my lawn etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldturkey Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 FUCK YOU LAWRENCE! Was waiting for you to pop up in this thread Don't worry, at this stage the odds are slightly in 'staying in Invercargill' s' favour. I'm actually working up at the Darfield factory. The job would be a lot more demanding then my current one, for the exact same pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
