“I am excited to lead the company into the next phase.” Darren says. “Effectively it is business as usual. We will continue to build Never Ordinary homes that our clients will love to live in.”
Hi Neighbours, It's three months to local body elections and we are waiting to hear with John Banks will contest the mayoralty. If he does, it would mean three former parliamentarians among the choice for mayor. Would that make you more likely to vote? Read my opinion piece below.

… View moreSelling my dependable 2007 Subaru Legacy 2.0R (twin cam) as I have bought a new car and cannot afford to run two!
First NZ owner of this car.
Safety features include:
- 5 airbags
- ABS
- power steering
- Subaru's famous all wheel drive system
It's incredibly practical due to its length and width, and you can easily fit surf boards and/or bikes in the back.
The car is currently fitted with two STI (Subaru's performance division) dual tip mufflers, making the car sound a bit deeper, however not irritatingly loud. the difference is more or less unnoticeable when driving.
The car also has a full set of Bilstein shocks which I believe are from a Legacy spec B model. These were fitted by the previous Japanese owner. They provide a slightly stiffer ride, allowing the car to handle smoothly and sharply with minimal body roll. Not to be confused with racing springs - you won't need a back operation after a long drive.
- Car was serviced about 3 months ago.
- Wof till 2020
Cons:
- Car was built in 2007 and it has been driven, it does have scratches although the paint still looks shiny and presentable after a nice wash!
- It has a few minuscule dings (see pics)
- curbing
- minor interior faults
Will consider offers within reason.
