Subaru Legacy with brand new clutch. Valid WOF/REGO
After 3 months of cruising through NZ, it's time to part ways with my trusty car. I took good care of the car and so it did for me. I would take it home if I could, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit in my backpack and the steering wheel is on the wrong side for driving in my country.
The car has:
- Freezing cold AC and a blazing hot heater (they both work great)
- Electric windows
- All-Wheel-Drive (Subaru 4wd) which makes it great for gravel roads and even 90-mile beach!
- A banging good aftermarket Pioneer audio system including Pioneer speakers (aux/cd/radio)
- Proper tires which will last and be safe for at least 15.000km
- Spare wheel (better safe than sorry.. including all the needed tools: jack stand, spanners etc.)
- A full-sized comfy spring mattress (with covers, blankets and pillows)
- Loads of camping gear (winter-ready sleeping bag, portable stove, cutlery, pots/pans, plates etc.)
- (Optional) Cheesy bumper stickers to scare of bogan drivers and Monster Energy stickers to add more HP *or just look cool*)
- WOF/REGO till 1-06-2018, the car is in good shape, new WOF shouldn't be a problem. The car has done 280k km's.
As said, the car has a brand new clutch which was installed by a licensed garage, this cost me $1000+. (pm me for proof, I'll send you the garage bill)
A lot of backpacker-cars don't get any maintenance on or in between their trips, making them less reliable. Being a car-nerd, i didn't want to take a risk, so I took some precautions before I started traveling. I installed:
- New spark plugs
- New oil/air filter and new oil
- New brake pads
- Steering wheel cover (which adds at least 5HP...)
- Comfier and less worn seats (perfect for long drives, see pictures)
Come and take a look in Kaiapoi or Christchurch from April 30th!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? ☔⚠️

With more wild weather on the cards, we’re curious: do you have a go-to adverse-weather checklist for your family? Or are you more of a “grab the torches and hope for the best” household?
-
47.1% Yes - we like to be prepared

44.1% Nah
