"Ruby" the little red Honda Logo Lachic has served me well....she has taken me from Ohope Beach to Dunedin and now Christchurch.


Yes, she is a 1998 car, but with only 151,000km, serviced regularly (one due now) and water pump (new in 2015) and cam belt still ok...it makes it an great choice to buy...especially with the new WOF (with paperwork) and 6-months Rego.


Being a with a low cc engine; it makes it a perfect car to learn to drive in...or if anyone just wants an economical car that you can park in all those parks that massive sedans and 4-Wheel Drives can't fit into!


With lockable roof racks, it makes putting on a kayak, snowboard, bike...even moving a bed, so much easier :-)


With sadness I need to sell her, as I need the money for a medical procedure.


I have a plan to start biking again too.

Free - SWANN Underwater Cam

Rachael from Cashmere

Free. Outdated tech so may not work depending on whether you have anything compatible to connect it to. The light on the camera lights up when plugged in so if you manage to find something to connect to it could be something for your kids to play with? :)
