Trailer backing champion? Better than this Aucklander?
Apparently some Aucklander's are not very good at backing.
Or so the image suggests.That poor tree. And since when is it ok to park a trailer on the footpath, especially when it is right next to a park bench?????
It might also be a bit of a fib to get some conversation going.
You would be right in guessing that this is the brand new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe.
It hasn't officially been released yet, so we have to use images sent to us by Hyundai. This is a lovely image of the new Santa Fe on Auckland's iconic waterfront infront of Rangitoto Island.
It originally didn't come with the picture of the trailer, we just photoshopped that in. Unfortunately to get it looking right, the trailer has ended up parked all crazy, but it is a nice segway.
We think we are pretty good at backing trailers here in Nelson / Tasman. It is that kind of lifestyle region. A trailer expands your options so much, and also helps you get a whole lot more work done. So many of us have our own trailers, and everywhere you go on holiday people are carting their gear, bikes, kids bikes, BBQ's and firewood around.
To make a point we decided that it would be a great idea to hold a trailer backing competition. Mitre 10 Mega have kindly loaned us the use of their trailers and their carpark on Saturday 20th April for the afternoon from 1-3pm. We think we can find the Trailer Backing Champion of the world right here, and that champion will get a lovely dinner for two at 623.
The rules? Not quite sure yet. Will the main prize go to the fastest? The most precise? Or the best dressed? Not to worry we will have plenty of other spot prizes on the day to keep everyone happy.
Join in the 2013 Santa Fe Easter Egg Hunt - $500 worth of chocolate eggs to be won
This Easter we have arranged a very special visit.
And he comes bearing gifts. Chocolately gifts!
Gather in the kids, and join the 2013 Santa Fe Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday 23rd March.
After a huge amount of hype, and internet chatter, the all new generation 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe has landed in the country.
It is so new that we have had to use a photo taken in Auckland!
To celebrate we have decided to do an exciting Easter Egg Hunt and partnered with some great local businesses to create a fun family day with massive Easter Egg prizes, and the chance for Mum and Dad to have a good look around the all new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Dream holiday awaits local family courtesy of Hyundai and the Santa Fe
This summer Hyundai have been all about the holiday road trip experience.
They have been running a nationwide campaign (click here) to get people excited about summer trips to our top summertime destinations, featuring such iconic images as the one below, of our very own Abel Tasman National Park.There were 6 family holidays worth $2,500 up for grabs, along with a main prize of $10,000.
Living in the top of the south, in one of New Zealand's favourite summer holiday destination, it is easy to get a little complacent about competitions like this one.
Afterall, we do live right amongst it, surrounded by the majesty of the Marlborough Sounds on one side, the Southern Alps behind us, and the glorious golden beaches of Abel Tasman to the West.
However, as Marlborough Sounds locals David and Sarah Lightfoot discovered, you have to be in to win!
Local Sand Sculpture attempts to capture the sun and win back the sunshine crown

Local Monaco residents Julie & Brian Flintoff love the Nelson summer sun.
Last weekend they stepped up and did their bit in the fight to bring back the crown as the Sunshine Capital of New Zealand to Nelson, a title lost last year to rival sun city Whakatane.
When they heard from Bowater Hyundai last week that there was a compeition on to win a brand new Hyundai Santa Fe they began planning an epic sand sculpture. Their design is based around the old Maori legend of Maui snaring the sun. In this case it is all of us snaring the sun, and "encouraging" it to stick around so we can win back the crown.
Brian Flintoff is a professional, and experienced, jade and bone carver. He is quite comfortable working in the "3-D", but working in sand is an entirely new artistic endeavour. Not phased by this he gathered in the family and headed off to Tahunanui Beach last Saturday morning. They had a plan in mind but didn't quite know how it would all come together.
We discovered that they had built their scuplture when it appeared on the front page of the Nelson Weekly today. We think they did a fantastic job, but they now need our collective help to win the car.
