"Coming from the straight, half decent roads in blighty, then driving on the windy, gravel roads in N.Z was more than just a culture shock.....I drove myself to auck from huntly on the back roads of meremere, in a 1972 Toyota Corola...Wicked, all was going well til, i lost complete crontol of the car and made a quick desision to head into the back rather than go over..Alas did my first 360* and landed on the roof, Pinched myself that i was still alive, kicked the door open, sat on the side of the road and waited for help...as a women does. Farmer casually drives up in his 4x4, and said "i though that was a trailer that had gone over, well guess you had better by yourself a lotto ticket tonight girlie"! I helped him push the car back on its all fours, with every panel dented, only lost a tank of gas, and proceded to drive the trusty old toyota around the south island, to be acknowledged as a local in every town we stopped-for goodness sake who would have thought the car would make it!!!!"
