I lived there for a couple of years (25 years ago). Cooking was done on a coal range, and there were a couple of traction engines in the back yard. Invercargill is at least 50 years behind the rest of the country- that's part of it's charm.

That explains their love affair with Tim (the unprintable/unbelievable) Shadbolt. !

Has there ever been a case of road rage in Invercargill?

Yeah, I got caught in rush minute here in Wanganui a couple of weeks back. Took me almost seven minutes to get to work instead of the normal six!

At least in Southland most of us are still trustworthy and can do a million dollar deal on a handshake while sitting on a sack of swedes. As for rush hour traffic my biggest hassle getting to and from work is crossing a railway line. I often have to wait for a train with what seem like a thousand wagons as they head north with all our southern produced exports. We are holding the nation together in difficult times, in particular the farmers, so sleep easy Auckland, we are here for you too.

I love Invercargill, I have honestly sat at a set of lights there and had a vf valiant behind me, turned the corner 55 chev on coming, 2 minutes later 37 ford coupe all very tidy examples. also lots of HSV, XR8 around. Lots of money down south. Cool town name another town in NZ where you can call into your local hardware store and see Burt Monroes Indian, 67 camaro, 57 chev, HT Monaro plus plenty of other real cool shit, all inside undercover
Invers to me is an empty retirement village where nothing happens, except the Burt Munro Challenge. Have to say the Bill Richardson Transport World is absolutely word class, you need a few days to take it all in. Come to think of it the Bluff oysters are as good as it gets. bugger - I'm starting to sound like I like the place.

It's just so incredibly flat, though. It's enough to give a Wellingtonian agoraphobia. People just seem to talk a little bit slower, and be a bit more friendly than you are used to.

Pity about the strange behaviour of your politicians and the dodgy DHB,s.!
