Hows it going kiwi

Doing fine here thanks....I did not feel the quake, although my elder son was woken by it. I had to get him up early for work anyway

Thousands of people flocked to the beaches for a look, and of course plenty of idiots took to the waves on the boards, or kite-surfers.

Thanks for asking guys....I even had a private message from a member here I haven't even had a chance to get to know yet.

I think the highest waves were only about 2 feet....but the surge from the sea can travel quite a distance. Many coastal boat harbours were rocking around a bit.

And to answer the quip from @dadsbee ... I will be going out to change the plugs on my A100 shortly, ready to pound the pavements and burn rubber. That job takes a while due to having to remove seats, engine cowl panels, and use the hoist etc....a real PITA. Pictures to follow.

But look at all the room you have afterwards to work with! Oh wait, you probably don't have a /6?

After doing your burn out watch the news to see if you set off any Richter Scales. You'll have NZ evacuating!

I hope there is no looting going on? Your woman leader took all your guns away so you can't protect yourselves....
