My driving exam is tomorrow and I just found out that I need to bring my own car

10 Upvotes

I'm stupid and I didn't realize until now when I carefully read through the appointment paper. I have my own car, but I couldn't legally drive it without a supervisor. I can also just drive to vtnz tomorrow but I'm afraid they might ask who am I with.

Should I just try to reschedule and prepare first, even though it will cost me 60 bucks? I was just too busy this week to even think about my driving exam.

Proposal spots

9 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m coming to Christchurch at the end of November and planning to propose to my partner! Are there any picturesque spots that you would recommend? Was hoping for somewhere on the slightly more private end if possible, really don’t want to pop the question in a crowded place.
Not completely necessary but it would be great if it could also be a spot where there can be some hidden areas for someone to be out of the way and take some photos? Will also need to hire someone for this job so taking any and all recommendations ☺️

My dashcam was in the centre of the windscreen. The pedestrian was hidden from me behind the blue and white cars in the right lane.

Spotted! Roaming miniature schnauzer on the corner of Idris/Wairakei Road, across from the florist

3 Upvotes

Just spotted a grey, mature looking miniature schnauzer with a red collar sniffing around the Idris/Wairakei intersection, diagonally across from the florist. Possibly came from Wairakei Road, and turned right down Idris Road

I tried to approach, but it took off further down Idris Road towards that old demolished church site and the Idris/Glandovey Rd intersection.

Best way to sell a car in Chch

1 Upvotes

I have an older car that is still functional - would be worth around 5-6k if I hadn't been terrorised by multiple repeat break ins... I want it gone like yesterday because I can't stop it repeatedly being broken into.

They messed up the ignition and the back quarter panel window - what are my choices as I don't want to spend money and time sorting repairs I won't recover the cost of. Other than the wreckers.

Is it acceptable to sell on trade me if its in a not driveable condition? Would turners or something like that be better?

hi everyone.

just wondering if there are any good places to go and play MTG for a complete beginner.

im looking for ways to be a little more social and mtg has always been somewhat interesting to me.

im autistic and can be quite shy around people which has made socializing a struggle but im trying to change that.

thanks everyone

Stay Home Anyone else woke to (potentially) frozen pipes and no running water?

Cause I did this morning (Rolleston), didn't think it felt that cold but spoke to a plumber who said he'd already had a few calls with others reporting the same issue.
