So if its beyond your means to travel a day and a half each way in your old school whip, (which has been on blocks so long itll probably never see the road again, stop kidding yourself) theres a perfectly good plane station down the road in quakechurch, so dont be shy about piping up, and im sure the local crowd can arrange pick up/ a ride to Hanmer. The people running the camp atm have it on the market too. So this could be the very last one. (Karl and i spent ages sharning up a storm getting to know the present people over a few visits) I'll just put this here 2 Quote

I was not entirely comfortable with that situation. Drive it like you stole it comes to mind. Then we were regaled with stories of how he rolled a car while younger, and other interesting motoring calamities he had encountered - whilst entertaining, did not add to the feeling of safety. Then we were relieved of the near-death experience when he decided to do some road levelling with the sump of the aforementioned car, and it decided to drain the lubricating fluids, rendering it inoperable for the remainder of the event. Hence the nickname "Sumpson" was acquired. Then IIRC @yetchh gave me a ride back to Christchurch in his 121 which seemed to have an intermittent fueling problem and so it wasn't being super reliable either, but we made it. Such memories. TL;DR - if you don't want to die, don't travel to Hanmer with @RUNAMUCK I have only just now realised what's going to happen the streets of Chch when Bort's old man pops his clogs.... 5 1 7 Quote

Road leveling was pretty impressive given the size of the boulder on the road... But I'm a definite.. *edit.. Twas the other marque. 5 1 1 Quote
