I’m now the proud (or maybe not so proud!) new owner of a 1996 Hold
en Astra. I have to admit that I’m still mourning the loss of my RAV4, but I was assured that the Holden, produced in Australia, is an excellent vehicle that will get me around NZ with no worries. My main concern right now is driving on the left side of the road. I took a few practice runs with Aunt Ruth coaching me around the round-a-bouts and the turns. If you don’t know the whole round-a-bout system, it can be a frightening experience. Also some of the signs take some getting used to. For example: Give Way=Yield, Zip=Merge (Merge like a zipper)

Hopefully I will have mastered the left-sided driving by then!
