Award winning car prize !

A fun ride in an Ford mustang/ flying horse !

Yesterday, Papiloti and I (another fellow senior from room 7) was chosen to get a free ride home in an awesome car !, before we had left we had to figure out who's at the front for the first half and who's at the back for the second half. I wanted to be in the front for the first half so I could see the amazing view and structure of the car but then obviously after that we had swapped our positions in the car. Mr Steve the kind gentlemen was very nice and thoughtful to let the 2 selected students ride in his new car, it was such a pleasure because there was only 2 Ford Mustangs in the whole of New Zealand and he had only got for 3 weeks now.
After an amazing ride through Mission Bay to St Heliers, watching ocean and people enjoying themselves, naming stores, asking questions about what we do for a living and having a good laughter together.  While we were in the car we had to stop somewhere to switch spots with Papiloti so we stopped by a memorial on the top of Mission Bay which was the first Labour Prime Minister Michael Savage, we walked around and had a great tour while learning some new and interesting facts. This was an excited trip because I had just moved to Auckland New Zealand about 3 years ago and never knew the first Labour Prime Minister whom was born in Australia on 23 March 1872, and became the first Labour Prime Minister in 6 December 1935 and sadly passed away in 27 March 1940. He is the 23rd Prime Minister of New Zealand but is the first ever Labour Prime Minister.
After a long trip of visiting Michael Savages memorial my friend Papiloti and I had switched seats which meant she was at the front while I was at the back. Our car ride back and to Michael Savage's memorial was very fun and exciting. 
My most favourite part I liked about the car was when Mr Steve was driving fast and when we could hear the car when it starts up!
My least favourite part was when we had to go back home after an awesome ride!

It was an amazing experience in a Ford Mustang and wish all the other students the best for next year so they can experience something like Papiloti and I did. I had an awesome time in that car especially when he drove fast and then slowed down. I can't wait for another opportunity like this and will always remember this day which was the best day of my life!, I'm definitely into cars now even though I am a girl but I definitely enjoy being in cars, looking at cars and knowing the different types of cars.
