So,

Reports of the last aftershock centred on Lyttleton and damage to the tunnel made me think of what it might be like to be caught in there during a quake......shudder.....

Which prompted me to ask if all the kiwi board members in ChCh are all safe and sound with minimal damage to their surrounds I hope?

Cheers,

Mick

Hi Guys,

Would expect that it will still take some days before we hear from any Paso owners in Christchurch. No deaths and few injuries but plenty of damage. However, at this time checking your favourite web site could be a bit of a low priority, assuming communication, electrical supplies and your PC are still good.
Here in Wellington, about 400km away, it woke us up on the Saturday morning.
Cheers,
Fraser.

there are at least 3 guys here from Christchurch.

Fraser - have to agree. My intent was to make it so when they do get power sorted and kids back to school etc and get to logging on there's a topic waiting asking after their general well being

From what I've heard from others back that way it was really really lucky it struck at the time of day it did (4am ish?) so the pubs and clubs were empty but the day hadn't really started yet.

Scary stuff.

nice city Christchurch, of course we shouldnt forget that guy (motorcycle engeneer designer) that died young from skin cancer the creator of BRITTEN he was from Christchurch, his designs were brilliant...someone will know his name...was it frank something??

Here is one of his creations.


There you go, not bad for a "made at home" effort.

that bike would've looked better in black and gold.... hope everyone is ok from the effects of the quake. those freek waves sound nasty afterwards. guess i would rather live in the hills than on the coast.

I had no idea we were such assholes )
