Burkes Pass

Had a great day yesterday travelling from Christchurch to Peel Forest to Burkes Pass, got to catchup with family and see my new neice who is 5 weeks old. It is snowing right now here in Burkes Pass! About to head to the mechanics to see how my mini is, is she upto a big road trip?

On a mission.

So I'm still in NZ and my first race is less than a month away, I need to find another sponsor or win lotto or sell my house or sell my car, so I'm trying all of them. Last night I flew to with Jet star to chch (total headache, don't fly jet star 8.30pm flight got us to chch at 2am, heading on a mercy mission to get my mini out of storage in Burkes Pass (near Tekapo, Mt Cook area) and drive it to Auckland to sell it. Should get enough money from selling it to get my tickets and get to the first lot of races. Driving an old 1275gt up the country shoud be eventful, the wee car has had me broken down on the side of most state highways over the years (due to my neglect rather than serious mechanical issues - she's still worth buying). I'll keep you all posted on how the journey goes.
