chevy, is it near te kuiti?
I think iv been there once.

Good point about the accents.

[chevyconvert]

yes it is !
Guess it's not a big town, but I hear it's nice. My Mom has visited there and they've stayed with us in California.
Beautiful place for sure!

[Carlwalski]

It sure is Chevy!! 

I'd sure like to get to America one day and explore those great open roads you guys have! (Route 66)

Not much left of Route 66 any more but they're plenty of great drives left to explore. Of course, from the pictures you've posted of NZ and the movies that I've seen filmed there, it looks a lot like paradise to me!
  Tell you what. When I get mine finished, maybe we could work out a deal.  You come to the US and drive mine around and I come to NZ and let Lucy take me to see the sites!

LOL!! Sounds fair but if you drove Lucy I'd have to kill you...I don't want to do that. 
But...your an intelligent man, right, you know it's hard to walk........without knees.  Ka-Piech!

Hey now!  No need for death threats! I'm just trying to be generous if you visit our wonderful country! I figure you'd rather travel in style rather than by Hertz, especially since they no longer have any 350R's for rent.
Considering that mine is the first car I ever bought and have owned since 1983, am on the second rebuild done by myself, is in my will and that no one has driven but me in about 15 years. I know the feeling, but I'm not a violent man....unless you wreck her!  Then all bets are off!

LOL!! I wouldn't drive her....I would be too nervous!!
It's like taking someones daughter out on a first date.

So what is the crazy Aussie rambling on about this time...




Just pulling your leg, NZ. Those commonwealth rivalries can get pretty intense.

[Carlwalski]

lol Yeah...but we are more rivals at real sports.    Rugby, League, Cricket etc.... 

[74MOPAR]

 Do they teach you about the original  Zealand in history class ?  Seriously .

[R/T]

Carl, how about an audio clip of you talking and then we can see how close your voice is to what we think you sound like?

[Plum6Pak]

So are the Koala bears out yet and do you have some ukaliptus trees in your back yard? Have you ever been in the outback hunting? I bet you own a Dingo! Sorry I must have got you confused for someone from NZ.

  LOL Yeah, are you OK "eh" mate? Need some maple on them there pancakes? Go trout fishing in those great outdoors up there? Oh, sorry, that's Canada.

  Got some good Friends from up there                       and                                 and
                                                                        

As well as Sweden, Australia, Norway, etc etc etc. 

[cudacharlie]

Aww, geez, eh? = 
Kick ass! =

But I don't have any authentic NZ slang to whip out!  Come on Carl, we need some good old Kiwi slang to toss around, otherwise it'll be all, "G'day, mate, no worries, good on ya, s'truth!"  And we wouldn't want that, now, would we?
