Yes I'm afraid so; you've got another one coming from Blighty. We got granted our long term buusiness visas today and will be heading for Hawkes Bay as soon as the house and business are sold. I have a Ginetta G15 as a rolling shell and a few boxes of bits - worth trying to bring out? What do you guys think? Thought I'd better leave the ute over here as it's worth more!!!! Matt

Whereabouts in Hawkes Bay? I'm living in Auckland but grew up in Havelock north so I know the area well... it's a lovely spot... anything I can help with, let me know.... a Ginetta on these shores would be a HELLISH rare sight

Thanks for the reply Esprit. We're not sure where abouts in Hawkes Bay ...... yet!! I suppose that's half the fun!! Favourites so far are Napier or Havelock North areas. Going to be looking for a lifestyle property (country people at heart!!!!) Got a couple of mates living in the Taradale area, so at least we know some people already. Now all we've got to do is sort out a whole load of s**te and get the kids to fit into a couple af suitcases!!! Matt

Hi there. I've been here for nearly 8 years (English) and we've got a five acre lifestyle block in Drury which is rural south of Auckland (30min commute).

I'd love to live in the Hawkes bay - much nicer than Auckland! Unfortunately, the IT jobs are thin on the ground there and not exactly abundant in Auckland so for the time being we're stuck.

Anyway, if you need any help regarding the lifestyle block then feel free to give me a shout.
