I've been looking in earnest for a vehicle and thought I'd found one. A 1996 Volvo station wagon that looked to be in pretty good shape all things considered. The right front blinker wasn't working however and the oil was low so I wanted the owner (a young girl from Norway) to have those things taken care of. She did so this morning and just as she was heading up the hill to the parking lot where we were going to meet, the engine started knocking (!) and smoke was coming out the tailpipe and engine - none of that was going on yesterday when I looked at it - it apparently JUST happened! So sad for them so lucky for me.
So I am back at the hostel for the night and pondering what my next move is. Finding a decent car for little money is proving difficult but I really would prefer to have my own transportation so will probably keep looking - maybe in Christchurch.
