Brown Fury is good to go! just needs a few days of sun to commute in to run in the new topend and she'll be sweet

Right. Situation update thus far.
Leave home at 4pm, finally leave Auckland at 7pm due to people being unable to refrain from crashing on a straight motorway. Sigh.
Put three months rego on the car on the internet as we leave - great, the car is now rego'd until next Thursday!
Motorbyclist seems to have created an entire new plan and itinerary in the fevered imagination of his mind. Needless to say, we ignore it.
We get to the BP outside Taupo on bare fumes. Decide to pump up the tyres on the car to keep fuel efficiency at an optimum (rather than doing this, y'know, back in Auckland ><). Unfortunately we give the job to Magua, who proceeds to unscrew the AIR VALVE out of the tyre, at which point the tyre deflates faster than MadBikeBoy in the face of a sound argument.
Sigh.
Remove the wheel and pull out the spare wheel to find it's a space-saver. Fuck's sake, a 80km/h top speed to get to Wellington? Sod that. We rummage through the car and manage to find a adjustable spanner - woot! Fix (we think) the wheel and put it back on. It's survived to Wellington at undisclosed speeds so shouldn't kill us too badly.
Unfortunately by this point, Rach has given up on us and gone to sleep. Sound decision.
Eventually get to Wellington. And what the fuck, people? This isn't a city, it's a navigational hazard. As in, it is impossible to navigate legally. However this fits in with my driving style perfectly, so we cruise around with Motorbyclist trying to sleep in the boot, and park up.
Ferry should be leaving in a couple of hours - until then, beer and killing people on the internet sounds like the plan!
Hmm.
I wants beer but they haz none.
Likes a good argument...
*facepalm*
That should have been your queue to find somewhere to do a few handbrake turns...

I'll leave the second part of the write-up to Andrew.
Suffice to say that Magua was hard at work sabotaging the doommobile again.
Pity I didn't knew until mid-week that we weren't going to be able to use the van - if I'd had a couple more weeks notice that it would be my car being used I'd've budgeted for some new tyres, heh.
*waits for Motorbyclist to come online and bitch that even though everyone including him knew the plan before the trip, he still turned up at the rendezvous with a completely different plan in his fevered mind*

Hehe I guess the stupid little exit at the bottom of Ngauranga was a little too obvious with its 'Ferry this way" signs PJ?
Welcome past our gateway anyway, PM me on ya way back through for an escort to nearest pub

Hmm.
Oh we arrived back in Auckland at 4am last night.Hehe I guess the stupid little exit at the bottom of Ngauranga was a little too obvious with its 'Ferry this way" signs PJ?

I came home to find the remains of an after-party, with two guys sleeping on my bed.
Siiiigh.
