    I've never been too keen filtering between trucks, normally I will wait for a reasonable gap, I always worry what happens if they drift together. What I find hardest though is keeping the concentration level up, last night the North Western was choked and I pretty much filtered from the southern link to TeAtatu, I had to keep refocusing as all the cars blended into one and that is travelling at between 40 -50km's. Anyone else find this?
    Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.

    Its either that or a knee in the goolies
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    "... you are not alone..."

    I think a few people got some rude meaning out of what I innocently posted as a legitimate question

    (Buggy - wadda you think - protesting too much?)

    This song?

    I love myself
    I want you to love me
    When I'm feeling down
    I want you above me
    I search myself
    I want you to find me
    I forget myself
    I want you to remind me
    I don't want anybody else
    When I think about you I touch myself
    I don't want anybody else
    Oh no, oh no, oh no
    You're the one who makes me happy honey
    You're the sun who makes me shine
    When you're around I'm always laughing
    I want to make you mine
    I close my eyes
    And see you before me
    Think I would die
    If you were to ignore me
    A fool could see
    Just how much I adore you
    I get down on my knees
    I'd do anything for you
    I don't want anybody else
    When I think about you I touch myself
    I don't want anybody else
    Oh no, oh no, oh no
    I want you
    I don't want anybody else
    And when I think about you I touch myself
    Ooh, oooh, oooooh, aaaaaah
