Anyone suggest somewhere to hire an MX5 for a Brit coming to NZ for
a holiday?

My uncle, Racing Ray Williams, owns a rental business in Auckland City.
He has two MX5's with beautiful english-flag paint jobs that would make
you feel right at home depending on where you're going to be in NZ :)

There is also an outfit on Quay Street called I think, About New Zealand,
which has at least one MX5. It's probably the same one I rented 6 years ago!
Visitors should be aware that most rental MX5's are elderly 1.6's and some
are automatic. They should also be aware that an elderly vehicle is nothing
to be ashamed of in NZ!

On behalf of the ex-Scots on this list I should point out that Ray Williams'
cars are actually painted in the colours of the Union Flag rather than the
St George's Cross. One wouldn't want our poor visitors to be associated with
English football hooligans, would one...

Sorry to correct you, Eric, but Terry might need to know we're actually 11
hours ahead right now, not 12.

Current NZ time can always be found on that most informative of websites
www.franchise.co.nz
