Didnt have a limp and hadn't been murdered yet so got shipped to wellington in 2007.

A mate getting a random punch in the face and his jeans/shoes stolen after a movie was about the last straw for me...

Orlando, Florida. US&A. Very nice!
Escaped becoming a redneck. Can do a convincin acceant though. Thought, there must be a place that's not as hot, not as racist, and I can walk barefoot.
So I moved to NZ when I was 24. Lived in Yuckland, err, Auckland for a year and a half. Chch for 3 months. And Wellington since 2006.
Dual citizen now, and considering the UK (got a WHV for it), Aussie (got the NZ passport for it), or the Caribbean to go sailing maan. If zere are no French cars around, maybe I can sail on a Beneteau!

I want all the collective EU passports here...gimme now, so I can go earn some decent money over there and have a fleet of renaultsports as my DDs.
I'm from Rotorua - where a car isn't a car unless it has a 4inch exhaust cable tied on, peeling tints and no springs. I sold my Mazda BFMR with mods up to it's eyeballs before it was too late and escaped to Wellington.
Bought my pug down there where it sat on the side of the road because there was no need to drive it.
Now I've come to Auckland so that I do have a need to drive it and a garage to put it in.
GORE FOR SURE!!!

181 Hokianga Road from 1975 to 1982
(my son was born in Auckland and NOT Dargaville, it was good to throw that cycle down into a gully and set it on fire)
Slightly before my time... I was moved to Dargs in '83.
I was born on an Asteroid mining colony, but was moved to Tatooine to live with my aunt and uncle so my dad couldn't find me. After his cronies murdered them, I kinda moved around a bit.
^yeah, i think i met you when you were at Taashi station that time, but they didnt have those Power converters you were after. You goin on about your uncle ragging on you about the work that needed to be done on the farms condensers.
Did they ever show up?
Nah never followed that up. Bloody stormtroopers burned the whole farm so didn't really need them any more.
Ended up going to Mos Eisley with old Ben Kenobi instead. Did you ever meet that guy? Strange dude. He gave me a lightsaber though, those things are awesome.
Hah - I just got the Star Wars reference when you mentioned light sabers and Ol Ben Juan Kenobi. (he's a mexican/japanese hybrid or somthing isn't he?)
