As promised
I had said that I was going to list all the countries this website has been viewed in during it's first (just under) 4 weeks. I've been pretty busy this weekend, but here they are:
NZ, Australia, USA, Great Britain, Sth Korea, Unknown (?), Canada, Holland, New Caledonia, Hong Kong, EU (?), India, Argentina, Japan, China, UAE, Thailand, Sweden, Singapore, Germany, Taiwan, Denmark, Sth Africa, Philippines, Spain, Bahamas, Switzerland, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, Norway, Finland, Turkey, France, Russian Fed, Ireland, Czech Rep, Italy, Cambodia, Slovenia, Jordan.
So that's officially 38, with a couple of questions marks left in the "Unknown" and "EU" area. I think it's fair to say that the site is fairly well traveled by now, and since I've been seeing the stats for the last few weeks I'm going to stop talking about this aspect of the site. It is the "world wide web" after all....but I do think my site has debuted pretty impressively.
Apart from that.....it is a sad day in the world of Nissan vans that just keep going. I tried to change the battery today, but a pretty important cable that could be hard to replace (I don't know as I'm not a mechanic) ended up breaking. It looks really hard to get to and I'll need to see about it tomorrow. The lucky thing for me is that not only did my car break down at a petrol station on a weekend (good to be able to park it hassle-free for a few days), but the place behind the station where I pushed it actually happens to be a Nissan mechanic! So I'll head down there early tomorrow and see what the status quo is. That van has given a lot.....has driven around New Zealand numerous times with myself and previous owners, and done some fairly gnarly hills and mountains in the process. I hope everything works out. Fingers crossed. I guess it's at the level where anything mid-priced in terms of repair costs might not be worth it.....you know the "old car what's it worth to fix" situation. Having said that, it's a great van with good memories, so I'll probably get it fixed regardless.
