Odyssey

Post by Kilroy » Tue Jun 20, 2017 10:02 pm

For those using Facebook - if you search for "Charlie Ben Safari Wilson" you will find his account of driving a $400 Marina from Christchurch to Auckland.

He left my place Monday night, staying overnight in Christchurch, since then making steady progress north.

It has my best spare rear doors fitted...

Cheers.
