Honda nicely tuned up
This is how you sell a 1989 Honda Prelude 4WS... "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This 1980s classic, starts the Trade Me listing. "If Heaven Is A Place on Earth then it might just be behind the wheel of this 1989 Thriller, but unfortunately it
has been sitting around unused for too long and Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner, so it's time to sell. This auto Chariot of Fire* has just 113,000km on the clock ... A brand new battery means there'll be no Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. The unique four-wheel-steering is in total working order and What A Feeling you'll have when you use it to ease your way into a tricky parallel park. If you Feel the Need, the Need for Speed, then the 2.0L engine will satisfy, but some pretty weird things happened the last time it got up to 88mph ... Already thinking 'Got My Mind Set On You'? But you haven't even heard about the four near-new Goodyear Assurance tyres, tow bar, CD stereo and working electric sunroof ... Such a joy to drive you'll want to be on the road All Night Long (All Night). Don't delay, your new ride is Right Here Waiting For You. (*Car does not actually catch fire.)
Fry before you die ...
A Chinese theme park has created a 'death simulator' where volunteers can experience being cremated. According to its creators, once inside visitors are blasted by hot air and bright light to create a genuine experience of burning, the Independent reported. When the "burning" is over, volunteers see a womb projected on the ceiling and must crawl until they reach a large, white padded area supposedly representing a womb where they are reborn. The Window of the World amusement park in Shenzhen charges $55 to place visitors in a coffin and take them to the incinerator.
Lifesavers sought
Murray and Gillian Archer are wanting to make contact with a Chinese couple and their friend who were walking the Billy Goat Track in the Kaueranga Valley on the Coromandel Peninsula on April 14. "These kind people saved our lives as we were overwhelmed with the conditions and challenges my husband and I faced. His name I think was something like Charles Quin and his wife is Minna. All I know about them is that they live in Auckland and Minna is studying to be a chef and Charles was a teacher in China. We would like to make contact to thank them further in grateful thanks for their generous actions on that day," the Archers said.

"I like the simplicity of the general apology," mulls Tim. "Whatever was happening today that got you down, as you walk past a BNZ ATM , they are sorry. Thanks BNZ ATM for feeling our pain."
