2010 Energywise Rally: Day #1 & the pavlova pedal
A team of Trade Me staff is crewing a Commodore Omega in the 2010 AA Energywise Rally, courtesy of Holden New Zealand. Over the next four days the team will blog about their rally experiences.

Keep safe online
We were gutted to hear today of a West Coast couple who had been scammed into sending money offshore after being outbid on a Trade Me auction.
