Kiwi Soon to be Stinger Owner

[Ozstung]

Down Under doesn't refer to South America, nor Africa.

I was thinking along the same lines. Argentina doesn't deserve the down under tag. I do cut Nz some slack if they want a bit of the D.U. tag.

Now D.U.S you sound like a serious Stinger person glad to see the mod bug has bitten. But get your priorities right, stinger first, house reno's later.

Pictures please. FYI Kia GT facebook club has a few Kiwi members who are active, check them out. I think they're from the North?

 

[Downunderstinger]

cheers for that.
Yeah right...tell that to the wife, 'Stinger first, house reno second'...haha

Not so much the bug I guess, but I do like my cars to be a little more aggressive than the standard and of course Kia are not supplying body kits as yet. My current car is an 2013 R8 Clubsport from new. I actually don't like the Camaro to be honest and there isn't too much around rear wheel drive. Unless I spend a shit load on a Merc,BMW, Audi etc., in NZ all European cars are very expensive. Bang for your buck the Stinger seems pretty good value, I'll see how I feel in 12 months time.
I bought the wife a new Mustang last November, only the Ecoboost, not the 5.0l, but its a nice car all the same.
I do have a toy in the garage I bought 3 years back, new F Type Jag, still only has 5,000 km's on the clock. I think I'll keep this for ever and a day, just sitting in the garage.

NZ is just the welfare state of Australia anyway, right?

The worlds best sounding exhaust note. Imho & Jeremy Clarkson's.

I want one but $100k for a used 4 year old Car. V6 slightly cheaper.

Ozstung, mine is the V6S, NZ$155K New, plenty power, power to weight ratio, they are great fun to drive, I think there almost balanced 50/50 The V8 is just insane and very much too heavy in the front.

Manaz, no longer, you buggers are sending the bad ones back to us, even though the were raised in Australia, under the Australian system.
So we have the joy of trying to rehabilitate them, most no chance, I've heard 40% of those returned are already locked up here.
Being Kiwi we no longer receive any state care if we immigrate to Aussie. Personally I don't care about any welfare, but if your allowed to immigrate to a country, pay taxes in that country you should receive the same state care as everyone else if required. IMHO.
I actually own an apartment in Surfers Paradise, but if I chose to live there, work and pay taxes, I still wouldn't receive any social welfare, not that I would want it anyway...just my two cents worth..

The "welfare state of Australia" comment is no more serious than us calling you lot sheep shaggers

 

[Flameangel]

ok ok ok...you keep the down under tag, so long as you give us Phar Lap back...we'll cancel the nz version of down under, but only if he is returned in one piece..ha

Pharlap is totally stuffed,I don't think you guys want him back. Footrot flats, I loved that film when I was a kid.I think Border Collies became very popular after that film.
