So a while ago I was invited along on a road trip with the ‘New Zealand Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery’ club, after following their Facebook page. I thought I would pop up a few of the pics that appeared on FB.
Was great to be a part of the convoy of Wellington Rangies. We had a meet up in Paraparaumu, as I was a newbie I got to meet the group and as it turned out I new a couple of the vehicles and drivers. (Scarey when I remember regos…)
From here we convoyed through to Sanson where we picked up a couple more and made our way through to the army museum in Waiouru. We had a great line up of range rovers and a landy. Not sure I’ve seen so many in one spot outside of the workshop.
I had other plans from here and had to leave the group.. Looks like a great time had up in the snow off the dessert road.
For me coming home to Wellington on Sunday I encountered a lot of snow, grateful to be in my 4wd.
This ones on my way home on Sunday… Good times…
Classic Landy that we get to see, and I see it out all the time, certainly gets used…
First time visit for this Discovery III today, always liked the interiors in these, spacious, big and bold…
This one had a service today, getting the LiquiMoly treatment and added to our customer care program.

Good progress make, 1 rocker cover and the rest of the intake to refit, alternator, AC, oil, Coolant and away we go…!
2016 Wish-list
Coming up to our 3rd year anniversary as the new owners in Wellington and we are looking to upgrade/add on to our courtesy cars. With a view to up-spec an already very cool car to showcase some of the things we like to do and certainly the types of cars we enjoy seeing through the workshop. Its a tough decision to know what that car might be and we still aren’t sold on this one yet, however it is a great looking car that is well appointed from the factory, the 2.0 TFSI engine poking out 200 Hp with a DSG S-Tronic gearbox behind it, driving power to 4 wheels, I’m excited.
This pics represents one that’s already been modded, so you get the idea of where this is heading.. We don’t have an unlimited budget, so want to have something that’s reasonably priced from the start, and for an additional $4-5000 can be turned into something very exciting… Is the TT it??
What we might get that’s suits the budget could be: Remap, miltek exhaust and intake mods, some wrapping, some tinting and some lowering, all of which will be done on site…
Our other project is to retire our old P38 Range rover to a new home and get into a later Land Rover Discovery 2.7TD. We see this as a great promotional vehicle for our Bluefin/Superchips product as a demonstrator, with a stage 1 tune boasting an additional 100NM of torque, as well as up to 10% in fuel saving when driven for economy. Also looking to deck out with Rhino-Rack gear so we have it available to show off and demo as needed. We love our old P38 Range Rover but I think its time to upgrade…, again, is this the vehicle we go for, nothing is set in stone, that’s why its a ‘wish list’.
Great start to the year with some lovely cars in … Here’s a sample of some of our visitors this week
2009 Jaguar XK SALOON
Mercedes convertable
Audi S5
2002 Jaguar XKR8
2010 Maserati Quattroporte S 4.7L
