Re: Camping Suggestions
Tarawera outlet x3, it's a great spot, or if ya want to do some easy fishing, I'm now a great fan of Port Jackson, both awesome spots. Also Fletchers bay, just a bit further on from Jackson is really nice. A bit quieter as the waves don't break quite as close to your tent site. These sites only have...

Suzola - What a legend.
A big thanks needs to go to Tim, from this weekend at the Manukau Winch comp. Driver and I happened to brake a sterring J arm in front of Tim who was spectating, he introduced himself, had a look and reckoned he may have a spare or two at home. He offered to go back home, and grab a couple for us. B...

Re: GQ wheel studs - best $$$
I brought some for a subaru a while back for $5 or under each.
Cheapest place was Davie Motors (Holden Dealership) in Manukau.
Had all sorts there, straight from the parts department.
Generally known as the biggest rip off place ever! Go figure.

Re: I got a free trailer, now I need to restore it
Everything about trailer weight said is 100% correct, But even though ......... if we all followed car manufacturers recommendations, there shouldn't be any 5-6m fibreglass boats on unbraked trailers in the country, yet most of them are. As long as your tow wagon can stop in 7m at 30km/h I reckon go...
