    Please do...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    By my aunty's farm in karponga the roads are damn straight as they crisscross farmland.

    The main problem with SH50 is that it's too short.

    No stock today but we came across 8 Turkeys on some back road at one point lol. I did nearly run a rabbit over if that counts as stock?

    if you're doin hway 50,just south of tiko is makaroro rd,head east on it nice,flat and straight or it was,test run first.
    we used to try and do 200 and brake before we hit my old driveway,naughty but fun.
    i cant remember what the distance was but it's the second drive on the left.
    not to often was the law seen there.
    be careful tho.enjoy
