Our Jeep finally has running boards fitted – this makes getting in and out of the vehicle so much easier. The job was efficiently done at Brent Body Motors in Palmerston North. There has been a real saga about these running boards. Robin originally purchased a set overseas (at a very competitive price) and because some companies in USA will not ship to New Zealand, had to get them sent to a distribution centre. They arrived safely but………would you believe it, they were just a little oversize and our parcel could not/would not be sent to us. After many emails back and forth between the distribution centre and the couriers, there was nothing for it but arrange to send our order back, and ask for a refund. Then we had an email saying that the oversize aspect could be waived, and our parcel sent on to us! Too late, it had already been returned to sender.
Anyway, the running boards were finally purchased and fitted locally, and Robin seems very pleased.
We decided to treat ourselves and had lunch at China Town. This is very reasonably priced, is always busy and offers lots of interesting dishes to help yourself. Another excellent point is that many local Chinese eat here, so that certainly shows that the food is very good. Mind you, the Chinese people seem to order off the menu, while most of the other customers are happy to serve themselves from the buffet.
It was a good day out in nice sunny weather, with several jobs being ticked off our “to do” list, and a lovely lunch. At only $15 each it was certainly value for money, with soup, desserts and coffee included in the price

How good to finally have the running boards installed. I know, as a fellow shorty, how handy they are for getting in and out of a 4WD. Lunch looks yummy.
