How was that racist? I didn't mention any particular race or country at all. Only saying how it is a big concern though that every single day in the news we see some more foreign drivers who are not used to the driving conditions causing accidents because there is absolutely no testing or anything for foreign drivers. That isn't racist at all, it is just an issue that is currently in the media all the time, and one that many countries around the world are facing or would have have faced previously. Not racism.....

However some people can come from other places in the world with better roads than ours and jump into a 6-7 Birth camper that weighs more?

The amount we collect from the side of the road is shocking.
Helps pay for car mods though eh stupid me no it doesnt

I know of 5/6 kiwi families over here now currently in the process of moving home, or thinking very seriously about it.
I would be looking too if we hadn't just built our first house.

I read this article on stuff the other day, really being invercargill it doesn't surprise me that much. Plenty of strange people with strange ideas down there.

Yes to right, make sure you put your GT in a container and bring it over though
