Proving age is no barrier<br />
to keeping fit and mobile<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
LIN CLARK, an 81-year-old<br />
energetic gym-goer believes<br />
age is no excuse for not making<br />
your fitness and mobility a<br />
priority.<br />
Clark makes up a trio of<br />
inspiring active women attending<br />
the Female Federation gym who<br />
all share their birthdays this<br />
month.<br />
Isabel Mundy and Ngaire<br />
Onekawa are both set to turn<br />
80-years-old this month, on<br />
<strong>February</strong> 7 and 18 respectively.<br />
Clark’s 82nd birthday is on <strong>February</strong><br />
15.<br />
All three powerhouse ladies<br />
regularly attend the gym, taking<br />
part in Pilates and balance<br />
classes, as well as working on<br />
their own cardio and weights<br />
routines.<br />
They are choosing to stay<br />
fit and healthy, defying the<br />
stereotype that aging holds you<br />
back from achieving an active<br />
lifestyle.<br />
Decked out with a Crusaders<br />
tattoo and a Rugby World Cup<br />
tattoo on each wrist, Onekawa is<br />
a keen sportswoman.<br />
She has always been active.<br />

$150 fine likely for motorists<br />
driving in Main North Rd bus lanes<br />
CARS CAUGHT driving in the<br />
Main North Rd bus lanes during<br />
their hours of operation could<br />
find themselves being ticketed<br />
from March 1.<br />
This will result in a $150 fine.<br />
Said city council transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas:<br />
“Parking compliance officers<br />
have been closely monitoring the<br />
bus lanes for the<br />
past few weeks and<br />
have been issuing<br />
warnings to those<br />
motorists misusing<br />
the lanes.<br />
“Our focus has<br />
been on educating<br />
drivers about the bus<br />
lane rules, but from<br />
March 1 we will switch to an<br />
enforcement approach.<br />
Steffan<br />
Thomas<br />
“Instead of issuing warnings,<br />
parking compliance offices will<br />
issue infringement notices if<br />
they see someone driving in the<br />
bus lane when they shouldn’t<br />
be.’’<br />
“Bus lanes are designed to give<br />
people who travel by bus priority<br />
on the transport network at busy<br />
times of the day. When a motorist<br />
chooses to drive in a bus lane,<br />
ENFORCEMENT: Motorists driving through Main North Rd bus lanes at times of operation<br />
will be fined $150. <br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
they are potentially stopping<br />
buses from having a clear route<br />
of travel and adding to the journey<br />
time of all those on board.<br />
“Please respect the rules and<br />
stay out of the bus lanes when<br />
they are in operation.<br />
“The only time that motorists<br />
should be in a bus lane, during<br />
the hours they are in operation,<br />
is if they are making a turn.<br />
Even then, they can only drive<br />
in the lane for less than 50m<br />
– that’s the size of an Olympicsized<br />
swimming pool or half a<br />
rugby field.’’<br />
The Main North Rd bus lane<br />
that heads into the city operates<br />
weekdays from 7am to 9am.<br />
During those hours only buses,<br />
bicycles, emergency service vehicles,<br />
motorcycles, motor scooters<br />
and mopeds are permitted in the<br />
bus lane.<br />
A small section of that bus lane,<br />
between Mary St and Loftus St,<br />
also operates weekday afternoons<br />
between 2pm and 6pm.<br />
The Main North Rd bus<br />
lane that heads out of the city<br />
operates between 3pm and 6pm<br />
weekdays, apart from in some<br />
specified areas.<br />
“In the areas immediately outside<br />
schools the north-bound bus<br />
lane operates between 4pm and<br />
6pm. This exception has been<br />
made to make it easy for parents<br />
and caregivers to pick up their<br />
children at the end of the school<br />
day,’’ Thomas said.<br />
Bus lanes on the stretch of<br />
Main North Rd immediately<br />
outside the Northlands Shopping<br />
Centre operate at all times.<br />
All bus lanes across the city<br />
have signage informing people<br />
about their hours of operation.<br />

Yellow bins not for e-waste disposal<br />
SOME Christchurch residents<br />
are mistakenly disposing<br />
electronic devices in their yellow<br />
bins instead of dropping them<br />
off at the city council’s EcoDrop<br />
Recycling Centres or e-waste<br />
specialists.<br />
City council resource recovery<br />
manager Ross Trotter said, generally,<br />
recycling has improved<br />
across the city,<br />
with the rinsing<br />
of more<br />
bottles and<br />
containers and<br />
the removal of<br />
lids, which go<br />
in the red bin.<br />
Ross Trotter<br />
However,<br />
he said “we<br />
are continuing to see electronic<br />
waste and electronic appliances<br />
in these yellow bins rather than<br />
being left at our EcoDrop centres<br />
or with e-waste specialists.”<br />
“As you enjoy your new phone<br />
and electronic appliances, it’s<br />
important to get rid of the old<br />
ones the right way but e-waste<br />
and household electrical items<br />
are not on the yellow bin list,”<br />
said Trotter.<br />
However, he said there are<br />
plenty of other disposal options<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
Said Trotter: “Well-used<br />
RECYCLE: Electronic devices are being mistakenly put in some Christchurch residents’ yellow bins.<br />
mobiles or laptops – along with a<br />
multitude of redundant gaming<br />
devices – and TVs need not end<br />
up in the rubbish.<br />
“You can support a circular<br />
– and clean – economy when it<br />
comes to electronic waste and<br />
any effort to reduce waste, reuse,<br />
recycle or even reboot is invaluable.<br />
“There are several ways to dispose<br />
of unwanted items or even<br />
give old electronics a new life.<br />
“Many of the components<br />
or materials used in electronic<br />
devices can be recycled while<br />
unwanted items can also be rehomed.<br />
Being more aware of the<br />
recycling options close to your<br />
home and taking the time to<br />
ensure responsible disposal can<br />
contribute to an e-waste solution.<br />
“Just remember to delete your<br />
personal data from any electronic<br />
device and remove SIM<br />
cards from cellphones before<br />
disposal.”<br />
People can head to the local<br />
EcoDrop Recycling Centre or<br />
participating retail stores to dispose<br />
of batteries, including those<br />
used in laptops, cellphones and<br />
power tools at no cost.<br />
The EcoDrop Recycling<br />
Centres accept a wide range of<br />
household items in working and<br />
non-working condition for reuse<br />
and for free, with acceptance on<br />
inspection.<br />
Items include stereos, vacuum<br />
cleaners, power tools and printer<br />
toner cartridges. Most metal<br />
items are also accepted – free of<br />
charge – as scrap metal.<br />
Old phones – whatever their<br />
condition – can also be recycled<br />
via Re: Mobile, with collection<br />
spots scattered Christchurch.<br />
Kilmarnock, in Wigram, also<br />
takes e-waste for dismantling<br />
and recycling.<br />
The charity accepts computers,<br />
computer-related equipment,<br />
phones, printers, televisions and<br />
more.<br />
There is a fee, depending on<br />
the items. By taking old electronics<br />
to Kilmarnock, people can<br />
help provide employment opportunities<br />
for individuals with<br />
disabilities.<br />
Another Wigram-based<br />
charity, the Molten Media<br />
Community Trust, accepts a<br />
range of electronic goods to<br />
refurbish and sell or to dismantle<br />
and dispose of unwanted<br />
components.<br />

‘It’s a relief to find you’re still strong’<br />
• From page 1<br />
The mother of three children,<br />
seven grandchildren and 12<br />
great-grandchildren, played<br />
netball until she was 42. She<br />
even competed against her own<br />
daughters.<br />
Clark has always found her<br />
energy outdoors in nature; a keen<br />
hiker, horse rider and gardener.<br />
She owns a remote cabin in<br />
Lewis Pass, and although is not<br />
climbing the nearby mountain<br />
heights, she still loves to wander<br />
through the beech trees.<br />
Mundy used to work in<br />
her family’s fruit and tomato<br />
business which kept her strong<br />
and fit. When she finished up<br />
working, she decided to head to<br />
the gym. She’s been attending<br />
three times a week for the past<br />
four years.<br />
Onekawa has kept up<br />
consistent gym practice for more<br />
than 12 years. She now attends<br />
Female Federation five times a<br />
week.<br />
Onekawa can do multiple<br />
push-ups, straight-backed<br />
with her knees up. She also said<br />
she can do side plank rotations<br />
and dips, and has completed<br />
200m within 15 minutes on the<br />
ski erg.<br />
Clark knows the importance of<br />
rest days. She has been attending<br />
the gym on and off since 1998,<br />
and in spite of a hip replacement<br />
CAMARADERIE: Lin Clark, Isabel Mundy and Ngaire Onekawa all attend the gym multiple<br />
times a week, incorporating cardio, strength training, Pilates and balance exercises into<br />
their practice.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
taking her out of the game for<br />
a while, she is building up her<br />
practice one again. Clark enjoys<br />
chin-ups, the chest press and leg<br />
press.<br />
“It’s a relief to find you’re still<br />
strong,” she said.<br />
When answering why<br />
they attended the gym,<br />
Onekawa promptly stood up<br />
from her chair. “This is why,” she<br />
said.<br />
Mundy agreed: “To keep my<br />
core strong!”<br />
Clark said: “As you get older,<br />
the physical stuff becomes<br />
terribly important and you<br />
become more aware of your body<br />
and how it works.”<br />
“Coming to the gym is a<br />
positive step to being a strong<br />
and complete person.”<br />
For Clark, getting to the gym<br />
is also important for the mental<br />
benefits. Her life passions have<br />
been education and theatre;<br />
in 2019, she was awarded the<br />
prestigious Drama New Zealand<br />
President’s Award, given to<br />
someone who has significantly<br />
contributed to the drama space<br />
over their lifetime.<br />
They all share the same goal:<br />
To keep going.<br />
There is strong camaraderie<br />
between the three women,<br />
and they love being part of<br />
the community at Female<br />
Federation.<br />
Onekawa said she gets coffee<br />
twice a week with her new found<br />
gym friends.<br />
“It’s a sisterhood here,” said<br />
Clark.<br />
Jill Kennedy, their personal<br />
trainer is 64-years-old. She<br />
only has glowing reviews of<br />
the fitness levels of the three<br />
women.<br />
“I cannot wait til I retire to<br />
be able to work out with them<br />
all.”<br />
Clark said: “We are lucky<br />
enough to be able to work out,<br />
and so we choose to make the<br />
most of this and continue to stay<br />
fit.”<br />

Waitangi Day celebrated with hangi at rest home<br />
BRYNDWR REST home Radius<br />
Hawthorne treated<br />
staff and residents to a<br />
homemade hāngī to honour<br />
Waitangi Day.<br />
This annual tradition was<br />
led by Bill Parker, a diversional<br />
therapist who has worked at<br />
Radius Hawthorne for more<br />
than 20 years.<br />
He built the hāngī inside a<br />
beer keg, taking four hours<br />
to cook. Ingredients included<br />
kumara, potatoes, cabbage,<br />
chicken, pork and lamb.<br />
On the morning leading up<br />
to the lunch, Māori residents<br />
were in high spirits, singing<br />
waiata and reminiscing about<br />
celebrating with hāngī in their<br />
earlier years.<br />
A number of elderly Māori<br />
and pakeha residents were<br />
thrilled to be involved in<br />
preparing and eating the<br />
hāngī.<br />
“The smell of the food took<br />
me back and boy it tasted good,”<br />
said kaumātua resident Jeff<br />
Samson.<br />
“Supporting people’s<br />
cultural traditions when they’re<br />
in a rest home environment<br />
is part of truly caring for an<br />
individual and giving them a<br />
full, active life in later years,”<br />
facility manager Jacqui Boylen<br />
said.<br />
Staff at Radius Hawthorne<br />
have backgrounds from a range<br />
of countries, including England,<br />
India, South African, Australia,<br />
Philippines, Nepal, Fiji, Egypt<br />
and New Zealand.<br />
The elderly residents<br />
themselves often have strong<br />
international connections to<br />
countries in Europe, the United<br />
Kingdom and elsewhere.<br />
“Cultural celebrations lift<br />
the spirits of residents,<br />
encourage them to discuss new<br />
topics, and it’s also a great way<br />
to build social connections<br />
between residents and staff,”<br />
Boylen said.<br />

2020 finished with<br />
a bang for me or should I say, a knock! On<br />
New Year’s Eve, I was unceremoniously<br />
and rather dramatically hit by a car<br />
and knocked off my mountain bike. The<br />
shock, the bruises and the reversal in my<br />
tenuous cycling confidence, whilst not<br />
critical or bone-breaking, has given me<br />
the chance to dust off my thinking as we<br />
move into <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
<strong>2021</strong> feels like a beautiful chance for all of us<br />
to rethink different aspects of our lives, for me<br />
at least. Professionally, it’s already feeling like<br />
a full year. I expect the market to continue in<br />
its current state, with strong buyer demand,<br />
some stand-out – if not exceptional – prices,<br />
and land to be highly sought-after by entrylevel<br />
investors (most of the developers are<br />
actively hunting).<br />
It’s also easy to imagine some respite for<br />
buyers with regard to choice, as the new<br />
year summer-flush run of property enters the<br />
marketplace.<br />
For investors, there are a number of dynamics.<br />
‘Boomers’ (sorry for the label!) are not<br />
offloading investment portfolio properties like<br />
they might once have done. Reasons for this<br />
include the fact that returns are higher than for<br />
bank deposits and the belief returns will only<br />
improve with increasing tenant demand. There<br />
are also more and more people contemplating<br />
property investment and I’m not going to<br />
comment on the proposed reinstatement of<br />
LVR restrictions, but I will comment on this.<br />
These are unusual times, they are adverse to<br />
anything any of us might have seen before, and<br />
the optimism that conditions have produced<br />
is contagious. <strong>2021</strong> is expected to deliver us<br />
out of the uncertainty of 2020, but one border<br />
slip-up could see us all changing places and<br />
once again our world could be upended.<br />
That’s why it’s important to not only work<br />
diligently but look at yourself honestly: is what<br />
I’m doing what I want to be doing? And am I<br />
doing it to the best of my ability? I’m a ‘yes’ and<br />
a ‘yes’, but we’re all only an outbreak or in my<br />
own case, a potential accident, away from not<br />
getting the chance to really consider our year,<br />
our lives and our potential. I’d like to embrace<br />
qualities of courage, perseverance, empathy,<br />
kindness and – a tough one – patience, and<br />
I wish you all luck with your own journey,<br />
personal or professional, in <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
P.S. for those of you who are cycling purists or<br />
know my lovely husband well, the picture above<br />
is not the bike he gave me!<br />

Full steam ahead in Bill’s backyard<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
BILL STANLEY, 67, has created a<br />
model train lovers’ fantasy land in<br />
his backyard.<br />
When he and wife Maggie<br />
moved to their new home in Canterbury<br />
five years ago, Stanley saw<br />
“a blank canvas, just waiting for a<br />
garden railway layout.”<br />
He set to work, and today has<br />
eight model trains which run<br />
on more than 200m of track, set<br />
amongst a 27m diorama of buildings,<br />
settlements, fields and bridges.<br />
The trains pass through all sorts<br />
of activity amongst the Playmobil<br />
people, vehicles and buildings,<br />
including a wedding outside<br />
Lincoln Union Church, fields being<br />
harvested, and a quarry being<br />
mined.<br />
Some of the buildings, including<br />
the church, Stanley has made<br />
himself, learning first through<br />
the Canterbury Garden Railway<br />
Group of which he is a committee<br />
member, and then teaching himself<br />
along the way.<br />
The track and its impressive<br />
setting, at the couple’s home in Lincoln,<br />
is complete with a pond and<br />
real goldfish. It has been a labour of<br />
love, and one that has its origins in<br />
Stanley’s childhood.<br />
“Trains just fascinated me as a<br />
child and they still do, we have<br />
been from LA to New York by<br />
train,” he said.<br />
His grandfather William Stanley<br />
gave him a Hornby double O<br />
railway set when he was about<br />
five.<br />
William had worked on the<br />
railways, and Stanley has inherited<br />
the whistle that William used<br />
in his job, believed to be as an engineer,<br />
and keeps it on his garden<br />
railway key ring.<br />
Stanley kept the passion for<br />
trains and railways moving<br />
down the generations; he and<br />
Maggie bought their 29-year-old<br />
son Richard his first engine when<br />
he was a baby.<br />
They continued to add to the<br />
collection, and always incorporated<br />
train travel in their overseas<br />
trips. These were for professional<br />
purposes in earlier years<br />
as Stanley travelled as part of his<br />
job as a pharmaceutical company<br />
director.<br />
The trip through the United<br />
States was in the 1990s, while<br />
they also lived in Thailand for<br />
five years to 1998 and travelled<br />
extensively through Europe.<br />
“You can set your clock by the<br />
trains in Switzerland,” he said.<br />
While trains in Thailand at<br />
the time were substandard in<br />
comparison, they had been just as<br />
enjoyable to travel on as the country’s<br />
elephants and longboats.<br />
Stanley sometimes has groups<br />
come and view his backyard<br />
garden railway creation, and it is<br />
a hobby he enjoys with others in<br />
the garden railway group, which<br />
will be hosting the National<br />
Garden Railway Convention<br />
in Christchurch on Waitangi<br />
Weekend.<br />
He said setting up the train<br />
track, which runs from a purpose-built,<br />
life-size shed, takes 90<br />

minutes each time.<br />
“It’s quite a lot of work to have<br />
them running to precision, it’s<br />
quite common to have derailments,”<br />
Stanley said.<br />
Obstacles such as stones or<br />
grit on the track, or interception<br />
by creatures such as the Stanley<br />
household’s pet cats or dogs, were<br />
the cause of such frustrations.<br />
One of the biggest challenges<br />
had been securing the track in<br />
ballast that wouldn’t move when<br />
a blower is used to remove pine<br />
needles which have fallen down<br />
from nearby trees.<br />

Interest in Mexican restaurant rises<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
EXCITEMENT IS building as<br />
residents anticipate the opening<br />
of the city’s very first Taco Bell<br />
restaurant.<br />
Construction of the $1.3m<br />
Mexican-inspired fast food restaurant<br />
at the Eastgate Mall site<br />
started last month and is set to<br />
open later this year.<br />
Simon Fisher was walking to<br />
Subway with his son Shane when<br />
he shared his excitement for<br />
Linwood’s newest addition.<br />
He could not wait to start<br />
tucking into their fresh tacos,<br />
salads and desserts.<br />
“It’s great, I’ve always wanted a<br />
Taco Bell in Christchurch. I used<br />
to live in Australia and we had<br />
lots of Taco Bells.”<br />
Linda Rowlinson, who was<br />
waiting for a bus outside Eastgate,<br />
regularly visits the area. She<br />
likes Mexican food, so having<br />
a new option was something to<br />
look forward to.<br />
“I think it’s great. I’m up here<br />
shopping all the time; I live in<br />
New Brighton and there’s nothing<br />
there so we’ve got to come up<br />
here,” she said.<br />
She believes the area has been<br />
targeted for these types of outlets<br />
but was not concerned because<br />
“people should have a variety.”<br />
Jacob Chatterton is looking<br />
forward to the prospect of getting<br />
a job at the restaurant more<br />
than eating its food.<br />
“I’ve never had Taco Bell. But<br />
if I don’t have a job by<br />
then, I’ll definitely apply<br />
to work there.<br />
“I think everyone<br />
around here will like it<br />
more, and it means less<br />
people at McDonald’s<br />
and KFC. The only thing<br />
healthy for a takeaway<br />
here is the Subway.”<br />
But its proximity to<br />
other outlets has caused some<br />
concern.<br />
It joins a group of restaurants<br />
Jacob<br />
Chatterton<br />
within 200m of Linwood<br />
Avenue School, including KFC,<br />
McDonald’s, Burger King and<br />
Domino’s pizza, with other<br />
options inside Eastgate<br />
Mall.<br />
Said principal<br />
Gretchen Smith: “For<br />
us as a school, we have<br />
constant temptation at<br />
the gate, fuelled by the<br />
power of the brand, and<br />
the aroma of fast food<br />
wafting over the school<br />
on a daily basis, which<br />
can be appetising or nauseating.”<br />
This comes after a study<br />
published last week in the<br />
OPTIONS: A Taco Bell restaurant is<br />
being built in Linwood, Simon Fisher,<br />
along with son Shane, is looking<br />

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Preventive Medicine journal by<br />
Canterbury University revealed a<br />
correlation between poor mental<br />
health and people living in<br />
unhealthy environments.<br />
People experiencing recent<br />
mental distress or received<br />
a diagnosis had a greater<br />
likelihood of living near fast<br />
food or alcohol outlets, with less<br />
access to parks and waterways,<br />
the study found.<br />
The findings highlighted<br />
a need for local councils<br />
and governments to create<br />
environments that support<br />
healthy lifestyles, lowering<br />
the risk of mental illness and<br />

distress.<br />
Smith said the school was not<br />
consulted on the matter seeing as<br />
the area is a commercial zone.<br />
Starting this year, the school<br />
will supply lunch every day<br />
as part of the Ministry of<br />
Education’s “lunch in school”<br />
programme, to help pupils meet<br />
their nutritional needs.<br />
“The big brands that target this<br />
area will, of course, say that they<br />
are just meeting the demands of<br />
the local community and that<br />
they offer healthy alternatives<br />
such as salad and water, or that<br />
they give back to the community.”<br />
It is not the first time concerns<br />
regarding the proliferation of fast<br />
food restaurants in Linwood has<br />
been raised.<br />
In 2016, a petition was presented<br />
to the city council to ban fast<br />
food restaurants within 800m of<br />
schools.<br />
But residents have yet to see<br />
action as the city council said<br />
it was not able to change the<br />
district plan to regulate fast food<br />
until this year.

Maths Geek or Emotional Basket Case?<br />
Are you a Math Geek or Emotional Basket<br />
Case when it comes to buying?<br />
Observations of Buyer Types<br />
In my sixteen years in the industry I have<br />
certainly seen a wide variety of techniques<br />
and methods used by purchasers when<br />
looking to buy property. Some more creative<br />
or unique than others, some entertaining<br />
others just bizarre, some bring tools and<br />
devices, gadgets and widgets, some come<br />
alone others bring tribes of followers,<br />
however the following are the ones seen<br />
most often in their extreme;<br />
The Math Geek<br />
This is the buyer that has researched<br />
every statistic, graph, chart and online<br />
calculator known to man relating to the<br />
property market, they know the medians,<br />
the percentages, the over and under’s, the<br />
decimal points and the dots of the previous<br />
ten years property market. They look at<br />
a property purchase like a problem to be<br />
solved, if a house has an area of X2 + 4r –<br />
100,000 what is it worth? A theory on a<br />
percentage over or under RV (council rating<br />
valuation) can often also be clung on to by<br />
the math geek buyer like the launch codes<br />
to a missile. For those of you who are of the<br />
analytical mind set you are probably thinking<br />
right now, so – what’s wrong with that? I<br />
am not saying that some research is not<br />
warranted, in fact I recommend it, however<br />
this approach in its extreme will hinder<br />
the math focused purchaser as they then<br />
discount viewing properties that may well fall<br />
in their budget but their stats approach puts<br />
them off even looking, or they find something<br />
they really like and then submit an offer<br />
solely based on their formulas only and often<br />
miss out and wonder why. I can tell you now<br />
in a city like Christchurch our rating values<br />
to purchase prices vary widely, if there was<br />
a guaranteed formula then someone would<br />
have figured it out. Recent surrounding<br />
sales of similar properties in a similar area<br />
are a much better indication of value but<br />
you still must take into consideration the<br />
things that don’t appear in the stats such as<br />
Feature Properties<br />
orientation to sun, size of<br />
the bedrooms, flow of the<br />
home, storage, outdoor<br />
living aspect and probably<br />
to the horror of the math<br />
geek purchaser I am even<br />
going to say the ‘feel’ of a<br />
home.<br />
The Emotional Basket<br />
Case<br />
This buyer has been<br />
pouring over home<br />
magazines and interior<br />
design blogs in their<br />
breaks at work and<br />
on their devices in the<br />
evening, they have boards<br />
on Pintrest organised according to rooms in a<br />
house and they know what couch they want<br />
from Freedom and the duvet cover that will<br />
match the curtains for the house they haven’t<br />
bought yet. Buying a home for them is an<br />
exciting prospect and they look forward to<br />
the weekends open homes more than they<br />
did their own wedding. This buyer views<br />
homes with an eye to nest, never mind that<br />
the roof needs replacing and the electrics<br />
won’t fly with the insurer – it has a wall they<br />
can take out (something strangely people<br />
love to say they’ll do, however engineering<br />
and the laws of physics often have other<br />
things to say about these random wall<br />
removals). It is great to have enthusiasm and<br />
sure why not enjoy the home buying process,<br />
it will be one of the largest purchasers you<br />
will ever make. Please however put your<br />
practical pants on before committing to an<br />
offer and just check that you still have your<br />
appropriate due diligence in place.<br />
The Apron String Buyers<br />
Being a reasonably independent person<br />
who left home at 18 and moved cities away<br />
from my family for uni I guess I may be being<br />
a little unfairly tough on these buyers, but<br />
in my view if you need your mum to sign in<br />
at open homes for you maybe you aren’t<br />
ready to purchase a property yet… No I am<br />
not kidding, yes this actually does happen,<br />
more often than you think. I get that some<br />
people want some help and yep your mum<br />
and dad can be these people but home<br />
ownership carries a lot of responsibility<br />
and a level maturity is needed, not in age<br />
but in the confidence required to deal with<br />
the purchasing process. By all means, bring<br />
your mum if you want to but you sign in, you<br />
ask the relevant questions and you pursue<br />
your interest in the property. If you need<br />
advice too remember your lawyer, broker or<br />
bank are who you need to rely on, the legal<br />
and lending environments are constantly<br />
changing and your mum and dads purchasing<br />
experience in 1993 might not still be all that<br />
relevant (sorry mum and dad, you can ignore<br />
this if you have purchased in post-quake<br />
Christchurch as the experience will be<br />
relevant).<br />
The Combo<br />
The most entertaining of the above buyer<br />
types is the emotional basket case and math<br />
geek couple, as they leave an open home<br />
and get in the car I often wonder how their<br />
conversation must go as one whips out their<br />
calculator app and the other the Resene<br />
Summer colour chart. To say that though it is<br />
these couples that will likely make the best<br />
buying decision, a little emotion tied in with<br />
some practicality and rationalism, and maybe<br />
a little advice from mum and dad.<br />

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS<br />
Customers pleased with honest,<br />
reliable vehicle servicing<br />
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is<br />
key to getting the best out of it in terms of<br />
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear<br />
on expensive parts.<br />
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker<br />
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,<br />
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your<br />
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,<br />
batteries and tyres.<br />
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,<br />
including cam belt replacement, suspension<br />
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only<br />
repairing what’s necessary, and without<br />
charging the earth.<br />
He has owned the business since 2007,<br />
and over that time has established a loyal<br />
customer base – people that rely on him<br />
to give them sound advice and provide<br />
professional care and servicing for their<br />
vehicles.<br />
Customers come from across the city,<br />
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell<br />
and Middleton areas, and the business has<br />
received many positive Google reviews<br />
from customers. Below are some examples:<br />
I have been going to Parker Automotive<br />
for the last eight years and I cannot fault the<br />
service. The mechanical work has been top<br />
notch! If you want top service and value for<br />
money I recommend Parker Automotive. –<br />

basic servicing and warrants through to<br />
major work like clutches, replacement<br />

honest guy who gets the job done in a very<br />
timely manor and he has outstanding<br />
communication. The overall service I’ve<br />
received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole<br />
I know it’s not always about price but<br />
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,<br />
you just want a perceived good deal and work<br />
carried out by someone who seems to care.<br />
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and<br />
what a great recommendation. His work was<br />
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what<br />
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my<br />
partner’s car there two days later and that<br />
too was completed faster than we expected<br />
and at an almost unbelievable cost.<br />
Give Parker Automotive a shot next<br />
time you need something done. Kevin<br />
is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark<br />

moved from premises on the Lincoln<br />
