Searching for a Sweet Bomb

TradeMe portal is the best place to search for sweet bombs in New Zealand. Car are much cheaper than in Australia for the tax reasons and generally people don’t mind driving old cars, as one never know, if he stays for a long time and it doesn’t make sense to invest in expensive new cars.

As Andriy explained, Sweet Bomb is something under $500 that looks totally different from a normal car and hopefully drives good enough to last for another 4,000 km. Rust, holes, broken windows are must have features for the Bomb!

Some of the options looked amazing! For example, old jeep form 70’s with description “brand new alloy wheels, sunroof, air conditioning, power steering, cruise control… yeah, right! J”. Or Morris from 60’s saying “Stereo: R U Kidding Me?”. Or pink BMW from 80’s with playboy sign at the front, obviously sold by a girl, as she kept selling the pink color J

There are so many options! Although it’s hard to find something that actually drives and has a valid registration, we keep hoping and searching… In the worst case we can always go for an old Mini, as it’s easy enough to push it downhill J.
