So who else received a black polyethene envelope in the mail? I thought I must have got on some porno mailing list. hehe

Turns out it's a brochure for the new Subaru Intelligent Drive - 3 engines in 1 . . . marketing rolleyes

And a voucher for an exclusive test drive. When have you ever needed a voucher for a test drive confused

Not yet...usually Subaru send me the odd bit of mail though so I might get one. Unless they're only sending them to people they think have enough money to buy one straight away...

Subaru might want the cash buyers but the dealers will make much more if they can do you a finance deal.

I hadn't noticed that there is no pricing in the brochure. Maybe they're free. hehe

Should check out the dealers vehicle-crossing to see if I can take the Westie to my test-drive appointment. "I have quite high expectations of acceleration and handling." hehe

Would be right up there with the valet at the Carlton Hotel trying to work out how to get out of the Griff 500 he's just parked.

They probably prefer people who decide to buy on a finance option actually, that’s where a lot of your money is made in the car industry these days.

More interesting than the usual junk mail though...sure beats the Woolworths advertising.

Do students still live on 2-Minute-Noodles? I would think the specials were vital.

Although in Otago I believe it's more standard to get a Mad Butcher BBQ pack and incinerate a sofa on the front lawn. hehe

hehe 2-minute noodles and cheese toasties...but its easier to see the specials while walking round the supermarket than reading about them beforehand.

burning couches....well you have to find some way of keeping warm, dontcha?


Took part in another fine surveying students tradition yesterday....the "Vomit 1.609km" (formerly known as the Chunder Mile) - run from survey school to gardies pub (passing through the middle of uni), eat a cold pie, scull a jug of beer, run back. most amusing....

You seem to have left out the bit I remember (Having had to write out a few Engineering Society cheques for various bits of damage)

The "Vomit 1.609km" (formerly known as the Chunder Mile) - run from survey school to gardies pub (passing through the middle of uni), eat a cold pie, scull a jug of beer, run back . . . AND repeat until you're the last one standing hehe

Right up there with the Piha Surf Club Crate - Climb up one of the cabbage trees and hang on around the trunk (below the bottom branch). Once there you get passed a crate of lion red (Must be because of Lion Rock). Then you proceed to drink the crate dry. Last one to hurl OR fall out of the tree wins rofl
