She's a 2009 (but closer to 2010) spitfire gold (not orange) beauty; registered; woffed; serviced last month; cruise control, power steering - all the usual; she has a few minor small dents & dings (mainly on the bottom part … View moreReally hesitant to sell because I love her so much but have to. She's a 2009 (but closer to 2010) spitfire gold (not orange) beauty; registered; woffed; serviced last month; cruise control, power steering - all the usual; she has a few minor small dents & dings (mainly on the bottom part of the front bumper) - some from when I got her, some from other idiots who cannot drive properly, most just natural wear & tear from being used as the high performance road vehicle she is. Anything else you want to know... come and see her for yourself :-)

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
