New to Wellington, Well new to NZ in fact.....help

Post by bazablue »

Hello to all

Been in NZ since Sept 08, living in Camborne (near Porirua), and I've set myself up thinking I want to go off roading, was given ORE to look at. But appologies not V computer literate so need help. :?

How do I go about actually joining the club and getting dirty, I've been out and bought myself a 1989 Hilux thats been tweaked for off road (much to the "oh my god whats he bought now" look from the misses).

I know (I think) perhaps the most basic of skills for off road driving and am keen to give it a go.

Can someone please point me in the right direction or details of a decent club around wellington

Cheers

Baz

Theres a numbers of clubs in Wellington, best advice is to check em out and find one that suits you. feel free to come out on a ORE or Kiwi4x4 (www.kiwi4x4.org.nz) trip. What do you drive and are you after more shiny or hard out trips
