What a pretentious twat:
Goodfellow’s company S.H. Lock bought one of the ministerial BMWs for less than $65,000 at auction recently.
He put up All Blacks and New Zealand flags during the Rugby World Cup and has kept the nation’s flag flying from the front fenders.
Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater accused Goodfellow of pretending to be more important than a party president. “It’s pretentious, it is something generally reserved for ministers, overseas dignitary and the Governor-General, and it’s almost cheap as well because he has bought a second-hand BMW and is pretending to be a minister,” Slater said. “Why doesn’t he just stand for Parliament?”
Goodfellow said the criticism was ridiculous. “Lots of people have them on their cars.”
Yeah loads of people have flags on their cars, they are usually $3 jobbies from warehouse not $1300 specially designed BMW flag bearers designed for dignitaries, and the car has two of them!
Take a look around Auckland these days and see how many flags are flying on cars. Fuck all is the answer, except on Peter Goodfellow’s faux-ministerial Beemer.
My actual quote included that Peter Goodfellow deserves out pity for having an ego so fragile he needs to impersonate a government minister. Shame they left that out, especially since it appears that he has spent $2600 plus shipping trying to pretend to be a government minister.
Peter Goodfellow also drives a White Porsche 911, with license plate “SHLOCK”
Schlock is the Yiddish word for something cheap, shoddy or inferior.
Goodfellow might be a champion of schlock, but it takes a truly odd fellow to put it on his car.
