(en noun)- In the fifties the need for a Klown vehicle was evident and a King Midget Frame was acquired and a Klown Kar was added.
kai

- i.e. they'll spend the first four hours enthusiastic as can be, then get bored, want some kai , go down to the local fish and chip shop & bottle store & spend the rest of the episode telling drunken stories of how they used to steal from the "pakeha that owned the store on the corner" and about days spent down at the social welfare office.
- Got to go now and get some kai .
