    Rare pellets still available

    A few weeks ago there was a comment regarding some pellets no longer available here being findable in New Zealand. I meant to make a note as I'm not a pellet collector but I am going to NZ and will have a container coming back, probably just after Xmas. If someone would kindly remind me I'll try to find some.

    Hi Trev,

    Are you back home now? I scoured Trademe endlessly after you'd left, hoping some small treasure might come my way, but there was nothing.
    I'm not quite sure what I'm buying yet. I've got a Jowett Bradford van already bought in Hinds to collect with a view to doing the obligatory ( for me ) loop round South Island, ending up on the ferry at Picton, hopefully before my wife arrives to go to a wedding next month at Carterton. I thought it might be advantageous to join the Jowett Car Club. When I did there was a Jupiter for sale, one of my all-time favourite cars. I've contacted the owner and done quite a lot of research but haven't committed myself as I shall be in Ch-ch in 3 weeks and wait until I've seen it in the metal. If I buy it I shall just do a short South Island trip, via In-gill and Greymouth and back over Arthur's Pass and ship the pair from Littleton. Then fly up to Auckland to pick the Blessed Margaret up in a hire car and drive steadily back south for the nuptials, calling to see some old neighbours in TA and probably back to Auckland to fly to Hong Kong for a week. Hong Kong is booked for a week, I just hope it isn't too long.

    Can you remember what those pellets were?

    Bump to the top. Shape yourselves. It's only a fortnight 'til I leave.
