South Canterbury Finance Nelson Trolley Derby

Reads the article on the South Canterbury Finance Nelson Trolley Derby. It is also enough to bring out a less serious post on South Canterbury Finance, in the spirit of The Onion newspaper.

South Canterbury Finance CEO Sandy Maier said he was taking a break from dealing with the troubles of the company and said he would enter the derby with a trolley repossessed from one of the company's troubled small business borrowers. The trolley had failed to sell at auction. He also confirmed that the company's down-hill liquidity situation would provide the basis for his entry to go out with a bang.
