Who's the guy on NW Motorway (Auckland)

Havent been seing him for ages probably because of the construction workers but at least he gets his own port-a-loo now instead of just turning around and peeing in the bush.

but I was early for work (like 6:50 uuugh) and saw him. gave him a giant salute which was returned.

made my morning.

Saw this guy that MDU was describing for the first time the other day, so he is obviously still doin it. To save me the hassle of reading the

in the previous posts, has anyone figured out WHO he is? He looked a bit disturbed.

"Ernie" is really Sanchez.....

Its in another thread about him....
I stopped and chatted to him once and thats when I found out his real name...
His brothers ride bikes and he loves them but he can't ride m/bikes himself.
He is usually always wearing a black leather bike jacket and dark trousers or jeans.

His chair is still there with a empty beer box beside it on a regular basis.

I always wave to him whenever I see him there.

I guess with the road works happening there at the moment, his space is being disturbed. But he still hangs out there..
I have seen him there at night-time as well.

So toot and wave to him.. he will wave back to you.

He seemed really harmless the one time that I spoke to him for two minutes...
very polite and happy to chat....

but as we all know we aren't allowed to stop on the motorway...

happily watching the traffic it seems....

That's what I figure - all the dust'd be a pain.

He's still there though - gives the occasional wave.

We should try and talk the boys into building a concrete bench or something for him to sit on while if they get any extra time on the MW work.
