Heads Up: Hello New Zealand!!!!!

I know I'm probably going to hate myself after posting this.... but it's probably an opportunity not to be missed. A friend of mine and sometime member of this forum is emigrating to NZ (Palmerston area). He is shipping down a number of military vehicles etc etc and will probably have room for "filler bits"in the 40 foot container. At this point we haven't figured out the logistics for all of this and hopefully it won't become a Gargantuan Nightmare.
Parts for sale would include tyres, Dodge, Jeep Parts and possibly CMP parts. At this point no Bren Carrier MK1 Steering wheels Lynn!
So at this point to try and make things easy, email me with your Santa List and we'll see what we can do. Items for sale will be posted on this forum and we can take it from there.
My direct email address is [click here] which is what I would prefer. All payments would be by paypal. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers....Robert Morrison Vancouver B.C.

So as not to confuse one and all.....Palmerston South Island will be officially renamed Moose Jaw, South Island. R.

But Ken, there is a ferry between the two, so stop fretting and put in your orders!

Hi Robert,
Palmerston North is my home town, although I made a small life error and moved to Auckland. However The Bedford Boys, MLU Members, live in Fielding, so they would be the closest re any local knowledge etc. These is also a recent Canadian Expat in the area as well.

All the best
Kev

Not to mention NZ is not nearly as large a landmass as Canada. These truck have wheels for a reason.

I seem to recall the cost of the inter-island ferry ( Wellington/Picton )as being in the $200 region each way for car and two occupants so you won't want to be doing that too often.

Had a request from Chris in NZ looking for one 9:00 x 20 ND tyre, the one with the square profile on the edge (not round). If anyone has a spare in B.C. they'd be interested in selling, please pm me with a phone number and we'll take it from there. Cheers....Robert
