    No wonder I saw four cops between my house in Karaka and the Takanini offramp at 730am this morning, god damn that's like 15k's! And they weren't moving either.

    So that WAS you on Red Tube. And here's me thinking that the rumours of your fidelity were true.

    BOT.

    I'd like to make a formal complaint about your tassles and their whereabouts.

    They rarely do, unless there's easy meat about.

    Why not just fuck with the entire system...

    If everyone observed the speed limits for long enough to render the speed cameras unprofitable and then, once the police had cut their losses, went back to drive like sentient beings... how wonderful that would be.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Maybe I'm just cynical, but I reckon if everyone did that they'd just lower the speed limit....and start the whole cycle again.

    That's not how the NZ world works. If we all drove below 100kph on the open road they'd lower the limit to 95, then 90 etc. It's NOT about road safety, it's about the money. If it were about road safety then failing to indicate would incur a six-month custodial sentence, drink-driving would result in death by firing squad and texting while driving would result in the chopping off of hands.

    Until then, nobody will give a fuck, they'll cough up the cash and the govt. will be happy.

    Make it a six-pack, but you'd better be quick, I see the stocks of Montieths Winter Ale (Dopplebock) are vanishing fast.

    Ok, so it's beers all round then?

    Do you have a summer plan? Ours is Milford Sound.

    I know what you mean about regimentation; it sucks. However, since getting back into the old 9-5 scene it's a case of having to make plans, to a degree. We know we're going, we can carry a tent but have booked nothing.

    If you have even a slight inkling to travel south, do it. Then, when you get home, make plans to do it again. We love it so much we moved here, 18 months ago.
    Cheers.

    Now that's my kind of plan!

    If I didn't enjoy my job so much I'd be down there like a shot, I venture down to a friends place at Marahau on occasion and always find it hard to leave, and always enjoy any trip to the South Island whether its for work, pleasure or racing. It's definitely a paradise within paradise down there, you lucky sods.

    Made the mistake of moving North once from the original base in the Waikato, lasted about 5 years in the big smoke before it took it's toll.....headed back in the right direction now

    Marahau is just a short jaunt, went (almost) there last Sunday. Had a beer at Kaiteriteri, skipped around the twisties through Sandy Bay and back to Wakefield. We burnt about three tanks last w/e just dicking around. grit on the road in winter, dorks in summer.

    Yeah it does get a bit crowded in the height of summer, ruins it a bit - much like the Coromandel now that the big city dwellers have discovered it.
    Still a nice spot and you do have to watch out for that grit, especially as it's so well sign posted..... NOT!
