Timaru , New Zealand - From Mt Horrible to a sandy sea

[TheStickdee]

clearly not doing the speed limit

[eyreland]

It's hard to think of this small NZ town as having all the things of a modern larger city, but your vid here clearly shows that it does.

There must be more hustle and bustle in the Summer, as I only saw the town by intercity bus in the Winter.

[Kiwiwanderer666]

WOW thanks for the momories:D Yay now I definately aren't gonna go back to visit next year hahahaha why would ya!!??

[Roley63]

Thanks for the memory trip. Such a lovely town. Really are they going to scrap the flying jug. No way

[minniebunting14]

I live just outside LA. I used to live at 24 Preston St. This film says it all. I took this drive too many times and had to find a longer road. Didn't realize for decades just how special and unique Timaru is, in it's own retarded way. Being down graded from a city to a town, well that's pretty unique. Never the less I'm proud to have come from Timaru.

[Leafiepie]

go strait at 4:10 and come to my house lol

[Tordy1]

Love it, if you know my darling bro, Simon Clark send him hi from me, and maybe see you there in Timaru.

Lol - If I encounter him on my travels I'll pass on your regards!

Hey, great job!

I had a penpal from Timaru a long time ago, back in the late 70s or early 80s. Her name was Daveana McCone. It'd be great to hear from her again after all this time!

The good thing is that now I can see Timaru. I used to wonder how it would look like. Photos and postage between NZ and Spain were very expensive at that time, besides my penpal and I were only young students so we did not really exchange many photos.

It looks like a really nice place.

Cheers from Spain.

Im living in North Carolina now, been 3 years since I lived in Timaru, but I often look up your videos on youtube cause I see a couple of my old houses, and because it brings back the memories of old.

Great videos, looking forward to any others.

[alyinsanfran]

Well done, great vid'.

Makes me miss Canty!

[ianmax69]

Living in England.. I typed in New Zealand Traffic with one reason.. see if there where any old British Mundane Motors still running around!!

And youve got an Escort Jon!!

Are there any more Marinas Cortinas Avengers and Maxis still doing stuff in those beautiful islands! Id go and retire there if I could find a Maxi to live out my driving days!

[joh2]

Mate, you are in luck - YES there are plenty older British cars still on the roads here in NZ - esp the ones that you've named! (Chances are theres more Marinas and Cortinas here then in Britain)- in the other Timaru vid I did other traffic included a Mk1 Escort, 1960s Vauxhall Victor and a Bedford camper!

BTW older Brits are normally cheap to buy here (avg price equivalent below 750 quid) (prices are starting to go upwards though!) and cheap to run and maintain...

[HotBLackNightMare]

OMG I LIVE IN TIMAUR WELL KINGSDOWN BUT MY BF HOUSE IS AT 2:46 OMG yay man u rule

[TeacherOrganist]

Choice! Loving your videos!

[doktor81]

Awesome idea to show us your country with that.. hym.. awesome d'n'b from your country ;)

[Drumbassboy]

great song nice vid!good job

[joh2]

Thankyou :)

[bkarr1]

to be honest the US is an ugly place

[bkarr1]

but your country would have plenty of picturesque areas though? <<< not sure what you mean by that part

[joh2]

i meant your country would have a lot of good scenery as well

[bkarr1]

i wish i could get out of my country and into yours. By any chance you dont have any pictures you could email me of new zealand?

[joh2]

I have plenty of pictures of NZ :) ... ...but your country would have plenty of picturesque areas though?

[bigbenlorax]

Nice one bro. Today, Tomorrow, Timaru!

[joh2]

Indeed! :)

[ButcherNZDS]

hey did you know where waimate is

[joh2]

Southwest of Timmers - for some reason there is a high wallaby population surrounding the town...

[timsmith35]

brings back memories, i lived in Temuka just down the road. Anyone heard of Pye Contracting? thats who i worked for...

[eluko79]

Great video! Your country rules!

[frankzj]

lol If you like that, you'll definitely love New Zealand. Timaru has got to be the most boring place in New Zealand. I lived there the last 10 years. Hey!! You can see my house on here!! At 3.07

[ButcherNZDS]

do you know where waimate is

[eluko79]

Nope. Why?

[ButcherNZDS]

do you reckon new zealand is awesome?

[eluko79]

Yes. I do indeed reckon. Why would anyone hold that to the contrary?

[cyberfreak77]

Great Video - thx for responding it :-)

[krzyk1w1]

There are malls in Timaru? Great video. I've just sent it around the world.

[joh2]

Malls - I think of the Highfield and Northtown "malls" as clusters of shops attached to supermarkets, but I suppose the owners are enterprising and like to refer to them as such!!!

Thanks lots for sending it overseas 4 ppl to see, its gr8 ppl are having a look at Timmers from my dashboard's eye view!!!

[happyinca]

Two big thumbs up, mate.

[hylni821]

Cool vid dude, makes me homesick.

[JPCODE]

Sahweet dude, There are sum really cool roads out fairview way. Good Sunday driving material!

Cheers, I Like

[joh2]

Yeah mate, a great area to test drive a car's handling capabilities! - The Backline Road between Cave and Makihihi esp is a damn good one, esp as its gravel and almost no traffic!

[dusttoclay]

i really like the song esp. i miss nz heaps...

[Dr5tupidoo]

Concord dawn - man for all season!!!

Fcking GoOd

[mondaypartlysunny]

Okay Joh, I've left comments about Jandlehandle's Timaru video and now it's your turn. My fiance grew up there. He sends his thanks because he doesn't have enough time to cover all of Timaru by video for me. Hehe. So I thank you too. Nice work.

[joh2]

Hey glad yas liked it - Its cool to hear people from far places abroad are looking at things filmed from my car's dashboard!!!

[MhairiT]

Thanks Joh on this superb piece of work. What will you do next? From mall to mall?

[joh2]

Hey you've given me an idea!!!
