    Auckland parking lot?

    Where around town is there a decent size parking lot? We want to do a bit of parking lot practice tomorrow morning followed by a bit of a ride if anyone is interested?

    Gidday mate, ride out to the one out the back of Westgate, behind the Warehouse.... that should be empty and from there go for a wee ride....

    Or look for a high school car park.....

    Western Springs High School car park is quite big..... opposite the Zoo.

    If your meaning the central city there is a church carpark next to the Fanshawe Street motorway on ramp, thats a reasonable size and shouldn't be busy tomorrow

    ok.. starting to get some options. Westgate, Fanshawe, or just use the southern motorway as a giant carpark.

    Quite honestly, Saturday will be busy at shopping malls, etc. Better to look at more industrial areas for unused places. Schools, polytechs (Unitec?) etc will be less used.

    If you're out in west auckland you could come out to the Air force base. we've got plenty of parking lots and a few roads/speed bumps etc.

    Was meaning for Jones.

    Big carparks, roads to practice the skills etc. Will be relatively quiet on a weekend. I used to go there with our fuel powered RC cars many moons ago. Noone seems to mind

    Oh, OK. Makes sense now! (Thought you were referring to me...)

    Just watch out for the security people there... Don't try stupid stuff there because the place is riddled with security cameras...
    If you are just doing training stuff then they will not bother you. Lots of drivers there practicing on weekends.
