Pictures – New Zealand
Discussion
I took some pictures as I drove to work today to make you all jealous that you have to commute along conjested motorways and catch trains that rarely run on time: http://photobucket.com/albums/y158/speedy_thrills/Beautiful%20New%20Zealand/
Pictures of your commutes are welcome as well.

The A12 yesterday
We seem to have the opposite problem for the most part to you lot, to many open roads and not enough people to fill them. Road condition is generally quite good if you don’t mind the sweeping bends and scenic views as the road ambles along, perilously holding onto a steep slope.

New Zealand...?
Huh...!
I hear you get arrested and placed on a spit in the sun....
For the hideous crime of....
Driving a modified car.....
We are buggered on the low production sports car issue though

But, but, but.....
Saw a NZ trafpol on TV t'other day booking a lass for lowered suspension and non-standard seat.....
No questions about insepection certificate or anything.
Oh, yes...bugger. All in the edit I suppose.
Fun to watch them catching speeders in a tunnel. Daft bint had a panic moment, hit the brakes, went sideways into the tunnel wall, then bounced off and headed straight for trafpol on the opposite side.
Control? New underpants, please.......
mybrainhurts said:Probably, or it was fairly evident the modifications where sub-standard (a lot of people just ignore the regulations). I notice at least one person on the NZ section of this forum has a car that needs it’s ride height corrected prior to inspection, after that it’s back on with the old suspension and business as usual.

They don’t seem to mind stuff like shiny wheels, tinted windows and bean cans welded on the end of the exhaust however?!!
mybrainhurts said:Cars are cheap and up until recently driver training was very sub-standard, combine with demanding roads and you can see why NZ has a high accident rate.

mybrainhurts said:Why worry about what might happen? Besides most PHers go out in search of twisty challenging roads every weekend, why not every day going to work? Surly it’s better than picking your nose and watching cars crawl along at 30mph.
And why didn't you warn us about that before trying to lure us to the land of wellyworthy roads, you bad man, you....?
