van

NZ is a blackhole for second hand japanese cars. This is fantastic for people here. They get cheap reliable cars almost anywhere. Everyone has a car. Also their car insurance is most not much more than 100pounds a year. Also fantastically, it's legal to drive with out insurance and the MOT equivalent test's standards are considerably lower thatn the UK.

Guys do you see what this is all adding up to?

For the last two weeks my friends and i have been the proud owners of a 1983 Nissan Vanette. It's got three seats up front and a bed in the back. Along the side in large blue letters is written: SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND and there's a "smile jesus loves you" sticker on the back window. Not my doing, but i was pleasently suprised. We bought it for $NZ 350, that's around 140 pounds. Bargin. It works well aside from not being a big fan of cold mornings. I've been on trips to the ice cream shop and camping. Three of us slept in the back, it ws cosy and well fun. This truly is comfortable camping. It came with a whole heap of camping stuff too.

SO MUCH FUN.

We took it away, had a fire and talked to eachother and Jesus. We cooked chicken and potatoes. I love life, seriously. No joke. I prayed for this van. I prayed for chocolate and Someone randomly gave it to me within 15mins. God will give you the desires of your heart. We asked for a van and this girl randomly phoned here offering one for cheap as. It's crazy.

Raise your expectations.
