Elderly rural couple takes Undie 500 in under their wing.

by Rory MacDonald | 11:48 pm 11/07/2010

A kindly Marlborough couple have found themselves offside with their neighbours after agreeing to let the Undie 500 use their backyard as a destination.


While not quite Castle Street, the paddock will host the Canterbury engineering students after they turn up in their <$500-dollar decorated vehicles. "Anyone over 50 that went to university and says they were virtuous is either a liar or a very sad person ... a lot of people do seem to suffer amnesia about their youth," Trish Redwood told the Southland Times. "There's so many things they [youth] can't do. There's a real rural-urban divide now. Rural people think 'why wouldn't you party in a paddock?'." She also wants everyone to pay $5 each for camping at the property, and there will be a $10 000 bond – “I’m not an idiot,” Redwood says. "I don't think it should be such a big deal ... it's really going to be a little Rhythm and Vines with far less people and more booze."
