One owner before us. Service history with Rutherford and Bond is with the car. Very well looked after - it had had its 120000km service before it had done 85000km!!! We purchased from Rutherford and Bond just over a year ago.

But NZ's 20 athletes failed to win a medal of any description during the nine-day event which was probably the most outstanding world or Olympics athletics ever staged.
The venue itself and the connecting facilities were outstanding and every day the 35,000 spectator stadium was either filled or near-filled.
A new Ussain Bolt emerged in the form of an American sprinter named Noah Lyles and he provided the spark that an event of this type needs as its brightest ultimate star.
NZ athletes were very largely disappointing. We had performer after performer failing to provide a personal best effort or even a matching personal best performance in order to secure a better placing and in several cases, gaining at least a silver or bronze medal.
These can be reeled off but include shot putter Walsh, high jumper Kerr, Javelin thrower Peeters and sprinter Hobbs.
Only women shot putter Wesche and steeplechaser Beamish produced PBs.
So let's hope for better things in less than 12 months time when the Olympic Games are held in Paris. Track & field is the supreme event of the Olympics.

All this means is that TransDec will increase the train services in the region to almost certainly include 10 minute-only gaps in its weekday scheduling and a more frequency at other times; a promised increase in public buses on the roads throughout the region.
These measures are taking into account the increased usage of public transport and the demand that will generate from new housing (such as town housing) and apartment blocks where vehicle ownership is or will be limited or non existent.
New housing areas are deliberately planned to take into account the lower expectation of vehicle-ownership and number of vehicles per household in the future.
As well, looking into the future a little bit further, there is the advance of the driverless vehicle which will allow people to hire vehicles on a trip by trip basis and not need to desire a privately owned vehicle parked or garaged. This will suit up with the advance of apartments which usually have restricted or no parking facilities and that of town houses with limited or no parking.
Capping this is the completion of cycle lanes to allow people to safely ride on the sides of roads and cater for the increased usage of cycling as a means of transportation and recreation.
Less need for vehicle ownership is the increasing permanency of people working from home instead of travelling to a work station and in the use of the internet for the ordering of and the delivering of supermarket products and all other items.
