A Q. for the kiwi guys, where do they hold the V8 supercar races in NZ, is it near the quake zone or a different part of the country.

I was watching the disaster live yesterday as it unfolded, and i saw something that impressed me, the TV3 cameras were at a site were a building was dust, and on top of the rubble was this maorie guy, he was picking up sandstone blocks at least 200kgs in weight and tossing them aside like matchsticks, he had to be working on adrenelin, but seeing him pick these massive blocks up and tossing them on his own was something to see, you could not help but get emotional. I hope they find him and reward him when all this is said and done.

Hi all,

I txt'd Jeff (CFJeff) last night but have yet to hear anything back. He's in Christchurch and lives just outside the city centre area so I hope all is OK with hime and the family. If I don't hear from him by tonight I'll see if I can raise him by phone.

Will keep you posted.
Garry.

Hi guys,  what a mess the the garden City of Christchurch is, the central city is devasted, and some areas harder hit than others, in the surronding area of the part of christchurch i live roads are swamped with water/sewerage and silt, some areas are over a metre deep in water, houses are flooded.  the shake was that violent that it there everything in our kitchen cupboards flew out onto the floor as i was standing there, obliterating everything that was glass or ceramic. My Bedford were she was parked moved six inches backward and is now parked on a funny angle. it felt 10 times worse than the 7.1 we had in september.

qouting from Jeff(CFjeff) - "we all ok here, alison julie and gemma all fine, shaken and stirred. House broken, liquifaction all through garage and drive and section. Liquifaction, its a bugger to get rid of sticks to everything. Inside of house a real mess. Beddy lost a headlight and sourround, panelvan scratched and battered, commodore has lots more things land on it again, bugger. However we all still alive and thats all that matters"

For Bedfordcrazy- the V8's are held in Hamilton in the North Island so luckily its in a different part of the country

Eddy, I'm not speaking for everyone, but as your average buga member I take no offence to your comments. What I love admire about this club is everyone is genuine, generous and have heartfelt compassion. I gain a greater understanding of your honest pain in your message as you feel helpless as you can't get to your family in NZ. Mate, no words I have will make you feel better, but please don't think you are upsetting Buga members with what you are dealing with now. Hoping the best for you and your family. Adrian.

no, venting is ok by me I figured that's what you were doing, and I can attest to your frustrations having loved ones missing is horrible.
I'm sure you'd be a great help epically with all your experience but sometimes being to close to the people involved can also as you know lead to
desperate measures, even though they are applied in good faith. Take heart , your brothers are of stout breed so to are your brothers here and we are all praying for you and yours.
