Thread: Building Customs in N.Z.

This aired in 'Meke my waka' on Maori TV here in New Zealand. Meke my waka translates roughly as 'pimp my ride'.
Although some of it is in the Maori language there are subtitles.
Thought you fellas and fellasses might be interested to see how it's being done downunder in "God's Own Country".

Enjoy!

Yep Alan, you're pretty close to the mark, to be precise that shop is situated in Peterkin St, Wingate, in the Hutt Valley, just across the harbour from Wellington.
That was a mate of mine showing the camera crew around.
I live in the North Island, fairly well up the slopes of Mount Egmont, on the coastal side of Taranaki, a predominantly dairying province. (As in lots and lots of dairy cows.)
The west coast of the South Island is famed for its rain, as you noted, but it's still spectacular scenery!
I'm glad you liked our country, we think it's pretty neat too.
We've seen a few countries around the world, but have yet to find one to beat the one we live in.
Although we've not been to the USA yet, hopefully something we'll remedy next year, we hope to 'do' Route 66,(or as much as is still possible,) which is world renowned.......hire a camper and just cruise, hopefully take in some car shows, although I haven't done any research yet into what events will be taking place.
Will look into that nearer the day.
Most probably some time between April and August.
It should be fun!
