WOW, this takes me back, I grew up on a farm in Southland, very south of the South Island of New Zealand. Our neighbors had a Trekka, it really was a piece of shit. Every time they drove past our front gate we used to run out onto the (gravelled) road to see if any bits had fallen off (which they often had).

My favorite new game is "can you guess the identity of the burnt out car"
