Welcome to FBBO Dave in Dunedin. Lovely city folks - I went there with family 2 years ago to the World Famous Jaffa races on the steepest street in the world.

...got up close and personal with some of the rarest penguins in the world;

and the kids poured me a beer or three afterwards at the Speights Ale House Museum bar;

awesome beaches

UPDATE ****

How often does this happen....I thought I knew that car. Below are possibly the only two pics I have of it, and I remember the owners - we were good friends many years ago.

Taken during a Club Christmas Picnic in Waingaro Springs - west of Hamilton December 1985 (next to my Charger);

And this one was taken during a run to Napier at Easter time 1986 (from the back window of my Charger);

It wasn't a bad car then, and probably had the original paint.

Yep, it was Stewie who owned it when in the '80's. I'm in Auckland. Sadly the Charger is long gone...down in the depths of Wanganui from what I understand....awaiting it's 27th paint job!!!
Don't be shy if you need any help...loads of good advice and encouragement to be had around these parts. :headbang:
