    That surely caught my interest - never ever contemplated that was the case or would be even considered today - must enquire further!

    Not impressed at the exhaust fumes though - it looked like the fans were going very slow.

    Been through 4 times now, 3 in peak traffic on my bike. Got no idea what you are on about with fumes. Seems mint to me.

    Plus side is my radio works the whole way through.

    It seems fine when it's busy. But the fans were barely turning when I could smell the fumes.

    One big positive for us is there seems to be far less traffic on Mt Albert Road. I drove from 3 Kings to the airport at 5 pm in less than 20 minutes.

    I've noticed less traffic on Mt Eden road as well around 5/5:30 going away from town.

    I knew that as I had to wait 10 minutes for the traffic and got to see the snail like pace they were working at.

    What...no mention of Israel....
