Its been a rather busy couple of weeks since the last post. I realised just before Patrick headed up a couple of weekends ago that my clutch in my car was slipping. So after he returned to Christchurch after our weekend of checking out the sights and sounds of Tokoroa, I decided to swap the burnt out clutch for a brand new one by myself in an attempt to sae $300. I am happy to say that the car is now back in one piece and still works, despite having almost all of the parts under the bonnet removed. A mid progress photo is included:
Sadly, I found out today that my CV seals are also shot and they would have been easy to replace at the time.....by its no biggy for now, so I'll leave it for the new year. I also headed to Auckland last Wednesday to see the legendary punk band "Bad Religion" play live. They've been around for 27 years and have released 14 albums, so they had a lot of experience and were very entertaining. Stayed on Dave and Jeff's lounge floor that night before heading up to Northland for 3 nights. Got up to Cape Rienga and back. I have also included a photo of the lighthouse at Cape Rienga by sunset:
I sadly won't be down in the South Island on the 16th December for the gathering Jenn, but I will be down the week after for a few weeks, so if anyone makes it up to Christchurch or if we end up heading down at all, it would be great to see who's around.
Have a good weekend all.
Matt
