Its been 6 months now, but I finally ended up in the vicinity of a slot racing track on race night. Went to the Christchurch club last night, where they were racing Int32 with 16D motors. Thanks to all the guys there who sorted me out cars and controller for the nights racing - enjoyed it a lot. The track is tighter than I am used to - like the old Fylde track. I managed to pick it up though and was not last in either set of racing :-).
I also got another job on the car sorted - a working radio. Simply went into a Ford garage and asked them for the code - which they happily provided free of charge. I like the trusting nature of New Zealand! In England it would have cost and I would have been required to provide proof of ownership I bet…..
Otherwise it looks like I will be leaving Christchurch soon to go back to Queenstown - just need to find someone to travel with and pick anywhere I might want to stop off at. If the weathers good I may go over to Aoraki Mount Cook for a day and see where I can hike to……
