Long holiday - about 3 weeks touring NZ, plus tops in Singapore and Bali.

You've covered a lot of ground in 3 weeks! I've been here nearly 7 weeks and haven't driven as far as you.

My excuse is I'm a Kiwi and I'm with my UK missus and my UK daughter's family and we had to catch up with family. We still managed to visit a lot of places they hadn't seen before.

In my 4.5 years there I did both islands twice each time in a British Motor taking 3 weeks each trip.
Skippers Canyon was my favourite near Queenstown.

Skipper's Canyon is great. Did it several times in my own car when I lived here but car hire companies refuse to cover you. The last time I drove over the Crown Range it wasn't sealed, so that was pretty challenging as well.

The next time I come, I will probably buy a car and sell it when I return to the UK. I think it will be cheaper over 2 months than hiring a car has proved to be.

The worst bit now is the punitive fines for even minor speed infringements. I got done for doing 110k in a 100k zone last year.

With you on the speeding fines I got more there than any other place I've lived.
The Best gravel roads I've ever driven for sure in all the cars I had there can't believe they are sealing them all apart from the dust I guess.

One of the Audi garages near me (Dundee) has a used Levante Trofeo hiding round the back which is a slightly strange place to try and sell a Maserati SUV with a massive twin turbo V8. Best of luck to them.

Grey QPVI with a female driver in and around the Fletton/Hampton part of Peterborough on consecutive days.
Blue Ghibli III parked up on the main road near there too.
