Take two

yet ANOTHER video of a robin :)

It's coming...!

The New VW Scirocco that is...

But first a history lesson!

The Scirocco originally made back in the 1970's, and was build with the idea of replacing the legendary Karmann Ghia. The name was actually one of the suggestions for the car that is now called the Golf (of which over 25 million have now been made!) and the Scirocco would have then been called the Scirocco Coupe. This of course didn't happen!

After the production of MK1 and then MK2 Sciroccos for a few years, VW canned the line, and the Corrado (OH YEAH!) was widely seen as the next stage in VW's sports car line up, although strictly speaking the Corrado was a different car, and production started on them which Sciroccos were still being made...
Just in case you have forgotten what the Corrado looks like - here is a very hot example!!

Since the end of Corrados, VW has not made a true sports coupe at all, leaving the ever popular Golf GTI (who's popularity is seen as one of the main reasons the Corrado never found a true market and didn't sell very well) to fill the space in their line up.

But finally it's back!! The new Scirocco is due out this winter, and you can now even sign up for updates on VW's website!!! (I know!!)
Isn't she beautiful!

It must be said though, that I'm a bit gutted they decided to call it the Scirocco and not the Corrado - I'm sure it because the Corrado failed so miserably in its time, so therefore calling it the Scirocco doesn't have so much bad fortune financial behind it, but its still a bit upsetting for me!

Sights and sounds of the capital city

Wellington is SUCH an awesome city! :D
What more can you ask for??
The views, the cafes, the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary and of course the south coast, LOVE IT :)
Just had a relaxing day out with Si, here is some of what we did and saw :)



Is there a more classic wellington photo than one of the cable car on a nice day?!

At the old grave yard, very cool

Simon thinks he's SO clever with tech stuff - being a code boy - but really he has no idea, hehe!! (make sure you turn up the volume to hear what he says - he's trying to tke a photo and thinks he knows what he's doing!!!)

This is how you take a photo Simon... a photo not a video I mean ;)

Sanctuary pics:

Vid of a Hihi - I'm going to take my good camera next time to get a some better quality video!!

South coast near the airport

K D Lang and the lesbianfest

Have you ever seen 500+ lesbians demanding an encore??

I have, and I think if K D didn't come back out (excuse the pun) again, even for the 3rd time, there would have been security guard blood spilt on this night... NOTHING was going to stop them from getting what they wanted!


What they wanted was of course another few minutes of K D Lang's time, and I don't blame them, she is good, but I think secretly (well not so secretly actually - the pink underwear throwing was defiantly not a secretive act) they wanted much more than a song - and that’s where the similarity between the hordes of lesbians and my self ends.

The concert was of course brilliant, thank you SO much for Si for the ticket, it was a great night!

Cool new song!

Have you seen the new Monteiths add??!

If you not you should, and you should also listen to the song in it (Beautiful Haze by SJD) and buy their album too!! Here is the song from the add, have a listen!

(the song from the Buy NZ Made add's is also theirs)

Pretty marine tank!

Just got home from Aaron's and thought I'd share some pics of his marine tank, very pretty!

And a video of one of the cool corals!

My first Wildlife Doco!!

Sort of…
I was up at the Karori Sanctuary feeding the robins again with Megan who is doing a project on them, and decided it would be fun to drop a meal worm in front of my camera and record it!

You have to watch for a bit till it arrives, then it gets a bit scared by the very unusual object in front of it and jumps away, but quickly comes back cause they aren't that shy!
