Lemon?

Well yesterday was my first experience with Paul driving the car....it is just so unnatural! He does a fine job though despite the car's efforts to thwart us. It's a 2003 Volvo station wagon (bright red!) and although we look totally rad in it, we've noticed some funny things with gear shifts. So yesterday we drove it over to Saint Heliers to take a look at the beachy suburb we've heard so many good things about. Well we parked the car to get out onto the beach to soak in some scenery and when we got back in the ignition would not go beyond the first notch. Unreal! AAA equivalent came out to our rescue and the result is the bottom cover for the steering shaft is now removed as if we've hotwired the thing! We'll sort it out... In the meantime - enjoy these shots we took on the beach in Saint Heliers yesterday afternoon. That peak beyond Paul across the water is Rangitoto Island. This is the most recent and largest of the dormant volcanos of the Auckland Volcanic Field. Rangitoto is Maori for 'Bloody Sky'.
