Hey Nathan,

Welcome aboard. I was just in your fair country a week ago. I hope you and your vette were not badly affected by the earthquake. Due to the quake damage did not stay in Christchurch but I spent a couple of days in Akaroa.

Cheers mate,
Gerry

Hi Gerry, i was one of the lucky ones with minimal damage, still had power, water and working drains, Akaroa is a nice place the road to there is a favorite of mine whether im in the Vette or on my Suzuki, we call it the Akaroa GP
