    We are scheduled to fly out of Dunedin on the last day of July and it’s time to unload our car.  Anyone need a cheap but reliable hockey wagon?

    1993 Caldina AWD wagon
    5 speed, 2 litre motor
    225,000 KM with a new motor transplant last month.  The donor motor has 74K on it and has 2 months remaining on the garage warranty from Sims Brothers.
    I’m getting a new WOF this week and I’ll renew the reg too (due in October I think)

    I paid 3K for the car, the new motor and clutch was 2K and I’m selling it for 2K and If a Dunedin Hockey player buys the car it comes with my Easton Synergy stick and Paul and Pat’s hockey sticks too.  What a freaking deal!

    I’m putting it up on trademe later today

    pm or email me if you are interested.

    Do Paul and Pat know they are losing their sticks?

    Nah, he’s just going to sneak them into the car before the buyer drives off, and then blame the kids.

    “Well it doesn’t matter if you’re sure that you got them out of the car. They’re not here. You must have left them in the car. They’re gone now. Man, you guys really need to look after your gear better. Those sticks cost me a lot of money! Doesn’t grow on trees you know…”

    We planned on selling or giving away our sticks when we left.  They’re a pain to travel with and heaps less money in Canada.  I’m only taking my skates back with me and maybe my ancient gloves.  I’ll probably list it all here for super cheap next week. On the other hand, I wish we could take the car back with us as it’s so cheap compared to what the equivalent will cost in Canada.

    Somebody needs to buy the Hockey-Mobile.  It even comes pre-scented with a titch of the hockey bag smell. Just the thing to keep you awake on early drives to Naseby for some outdoor pond hockey.

    Here’s a pic of the Beauty Queen.

    We can’t buy Caldinas in North America. In fact, I had never heard of them before I came to New Zealand.

    The car is sold, dropping it off tomorrow.  Trademe was FAST.  listed it this morning and had a Buynow by lunch time.

    The Easton Synergy will be listed next week. I’m unloading all of my gear, I have too much luggage and it’s time to let it go.

    If you need anything REALLY cheap (and a bit wiffy I might add) let me know.

    I’m planning to keep my skates but if anyone needs some skates I could be pursuaded to part ways.  There are some First class hockey shops in Vancouver and it’s easy to get another set of Grafs — incredible skates.

    It will be hard to do but I’m thinking of letting my Blue Cooper Hockey pants spend the rest of their days in Beautiful Dunedin.  So if you ever wanted to get into my pants, here’s your chance.  Aaron?

    That’ll be the best armed beginner I’ve ever seen. Larry only started playing this year, Easton Synergy stick, that’s nutty!

    Michael,
    I have two different pairs you can choose from, some eastons and some ccm s.  Catch me next week and you can pick which ones you like. 
    I won’t need them after Tuesday.

    Larry, you don’t really want my Easton Synergy.  I find the only way I can get a good shot out of it is to really get on top off it and put all my weight into it.  It took me a couple of months to even get a decent shot out of it.  I think nothing beats a mid-range wood stick for most people.  Also I think Harry has claimed dibs on it.  He tried it out last night and it took him a few shots to get an idea of just how demanding of a stick it is.  My next stick will be a little flexier.

    Have fun at the rally, I can’t believethat the two things I most wanted to do in New Zealand are on the same weekend. I’ll just have to come back

    I’ll be there Tuesday night reffing your game so I could after that.
