Het people, flying out on the 11th for 10 days cruising around New Zealand's south island (it's the last day of the Rally New Zealand won't get to see any of it. Anyway anyone know of any mini joints on the south island, im really hoping to score a 970's crank & rods, any help would be good.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Can you find me some front blinkers for an Austin Montego while you are there?

Have a good time!

I'll have 3 Elf/Hornet's, thanks!

Would be interesting to know how easy these are to find/buy over there...

theres a biggassed mini joint in dorkland (north island) that has a retaining wall which from memory is about 5-6 ft tall and quite long, that is made out of thousands of mini gearboxes and morter...quite a freaky sight in its own right...
as for south islandim a bit rusty on who has what but will be ringiing NZ tomorrow (ex PDI manager Rover Japan) he might have a few tips...will PM ya when i know something..

Last time I was in christchurch there was a big mini spares place in
Wordsworth Street, Sydenham

Spares place with mini bits, probably not a lot different to what you get over there :
Swift Automotive Ltd
31 Carmen Rd Hornby Christchurch 03 349 7446

Mini wreckers :
Mini Spares & Repairs
35 Wordsworth St Sydenham Christchurch 03 366 0668

There may be something in Dunedin but I have never heard of any specialists down that way.

Oh and Elfs there are a few of I generally see one for sale every few months, Hornets are like rocking horse poo, haven't seen one for sale in the last 2 years.
