Hello Everyone,
It was suggested I started a post with photos of my Cordoba with New Zealand plates on it, enjoy the photos.
What makes this more interesting is that in NZ we do not have USA cars here, well not until recent times as they have been left hand drive and NZ is right hand drive, so the only way to get one was import it. New Zealand use to have a USA military base here not far from where I live so we use to get USA cars from the service man who sold their cars and returned back to the USA. All that ended in the mid 1980s when NZ refused to let USA warships into the ports unless they disclosed if they were carrying nuclear weapons, well the USA would never declare that to NZ gov so USA and NZ relation's broke down and the USA military removed their base from NZ, so no more supply of used USA cars. So although these cars are not that unusual in the USA they sure do stand out in NZ!!!! Quite unusual driving next to the kerb but you get use to it and after a while just feels normal!
