Why is there not a New Zealand section...

Big Thurs · 05-24-2010, 07:58 PM

I was just thinking that we have a lot of NZ members here, but theres not a regional section for NZ. Does it fall under the Aussie section, because I hear there can be "differences" between the two.

Just wondering.

All I ever needed to know about New Zealand is season 1 and 2 of

HBO's "Flight of the Conchords"

Very funny series that nobody watched.

Fair enough.

I didn't know much about NZ until I moved here 21 years ago when Happy Days was the show to watch. Now I can learn about you guys through the Simpsons and Family Guy.

Don't forget south park, and american dad.

LeePeyton · 05-25-2010, 12:33 AM

I think you could learn about us from that *facepalm*

Benckj · 05-25-2010, 12:53 AM

Lived in US for 28 years and the TV shows are better than real life. My kids want to move there for University except I'm not really encourging them cause I have to pay the bills. They thought Mexico was a state until I took them to Cancun which had McDonalds on every corner and used US dollars. That even confused me.

There were a couple chaps here in Huntsville, AL for a couple years playing Rugby for our crap division three team. They got me into it. I weighed only 170lbs back then and they had me play flank - bad news.

Actually, one was a New Zealander, the other was Tongan. They were always talking to eachother in some foreign language. Name was NamaniLalanbravidelabatiki.... no joke. Did I mention they were a package deal with a canuck? That canuck. He convinced our coach he was ace (guess coach didn't ask for photos) and when he got here he turned out to be a 140lb wank.

I'm not really sure what this has to do with the thread.....

One thing KIWI's are known for apart from rugby is cars. You wouldn't believe the cars we have here including the classic & modern American following. I have friends who buy Camero's, Vettes, Mustangs and even Impalas Stateside for outradeous prices and get sent over here.

Guess that answers the question about why so many Kiwi's are on this forum. We are also MR2 enthusiaist's. One of my goals with my new 98GT is to beat my friends Holden which he installed a built up LS1 engine after 3rd bank ran lean during a 1/4mile run. He can pull low 13's and I want my wife to beat him with our little 4 banger. We run a 1/4mile side by side heat during our annual town festival in Sept at the local airport. What are my chances?

Don't really need a NZ section as we run our own forum much like yours. It's good to join in and share the knowledge and experiences with our American counterparts. If they didn't call turbos 'tubbies' I'd probably deal with the UK comrades as well.

PS: World Cup 2011-Go All Blacks (I played Rugby for University of Wyoming).

I thought Off Topic was the NZ Section? Which is why 328ftw is the king of OT.

New Zealanders pwn with cars, I live in a small residential cul-de-sac thing and in our street there is my bazillion racecars, a 13B rotary hatchback racecar, 2 NZ top tier touring cars and a member of the NZ corvette club who has a 59 it's crazy. I know someone who imports corvettes and stuff as well, hell my dad has a 63 rambler 770 classic sitting around doing nothing as well as about 3 worked small block chevs.....also doing nothing.

And that Holden should be easy to waste, my friend had a turbo honda integra and regularly wasted holdens and fords, they have more rice excuses than ricers themselves as well

I actually never really go, I have been a couple times and seen some deals and such, when an mr2 is in a wreckers yard there is normally a post about it but otherwise I like it here, taunting americans with my ghetto style is fun

I also hate rugby and don't watch flight of the conchords *gasp*
