Top Gear Live – Auckland 2009

by Heidi on February 14, 2009 in Shows with No Comments

Finally, after 3 months of eagerly awaiting the arrival of Top Gear Live, the day came.

Marty and I arrived early, giving ourselves 1 1/2 hours to peruse the cars in the exhibition hall, before heading into the theatre for the show.

Friday 9 September 2011, the first day of the 2011 Rugby World Cup and the start of several weeks of media attention centred on New Zealand. To be honest, rugby doesn’t interest me at all… but what I do like is all the life that has been breathed into Auckland. I managed to skive off [...]
