Woo Hoo! Moving to New Zealand for a year :)

[JerseyVics]

I'm excited, after 1 year in Australia, 7 months in Singapore its now time for a one year working holiday visit to New Zealand Woo Hoo!


Still haven't found a job or a place to live, but after the first two experiences I'm not terribly worried. Posting this here in case any locals wish to meet up. I arrive Auckland on November 18th right after the SEMA show a few weeks prior



Any suggestions on what I should bring with me, look out for while there, etc. Any general advice from all the car buddies is always welcome! I'm already on a shopping spree as things are much cheaper in US than elsewhere in the world. Just re-stocked on some new clothing, shoes, new laptop... all great deals here. Should I bring some car parts to barter for accommodation and employment? LOL



Anyhow, really looking forward to this trip.

PS. Was going to post this in the NZ forum, but noticed there hasn't been any posts in over 30 days... are there still any Ford owners left in New Zealand or do they all drive Japanese cars now? (I was just in Tokyo two weeks ago and its a real status symbol to own a left-hand drive car/which they don't bother converting... lots of Fords/Chebby's/and Benzes everywhere)
